Styen’s bowling ultimatum scattered the Indian team and hold them back from making a big score, after a banging start by two blaster Virendra Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar, India’s score was projected above 380, but as the nature of cricket is so unpredictable and amazing, one man has changed the game that was Styen, his second spell in power-play was a nightmare for Indian batting squad, besides Tedulkar’s milestone century and Gautam Gambhir’s attacking attitude, still India fell on nose in front of styen’s bombarding attack.

People stopped working, took a half day form offices keeping a hope to start a thrilling weekend by watching a fighting match between South Africa and India in  World cup 2011, South African did a complete justice to viewer expectations, like a real swirling experience in the air; cricket fans would have enjoyed the thrill with palpitating pleasure.

Batting Power play in this world cup has been a sweet and sour gift for batting side. In all previous matches, teams have been failed to exploring it.

 Indian team has tasted the bitterness of batting power-play too in past matches still no improvisation on its execution. Trusting one batsman form and expecting a sudden increment in score board was a lust and India lost the focus to achieve the lust. Hopefully MS Dhoni would have learnt this time how and when to execute batting power play to convert it in favor of the team.

A good Fielding and a strong bowling attack are the strength of South Africa, even though India lost only one wicket in 268 runs making their strength invisible against two world class batsman, still the body language and un-submissive attitude made a big reshuffle in the match and turned the game on their favor.

After A batting disaster in last overs India bounced back with a fresh attitude and strategy with a surprising bowling attack and tight fielding trap, specially it was a new version of bowling attack form India that almost halted South African batting experts from making quick runs, even though two best batsman were in the crease it was a tight control at initial mandatory bowling power-play, South Africa managed to go with flow and did not loose wickets and kept playing for a soothing chase.

Hashim Amla and Kallis stood solidly for a winning drive. But cricket is cricket it has shown its real color within less than 50 runs SA loosed two important wickets and shifted the pressure form India to SA. AB de villiers played an amazing innings as usual his natural way of batting a quick 50 runs in just 39 balls again brought SA on a track for a hopeful win, again game turned on India’s favor with a quick fall of JP Duminy and J Botha crated a ray of hope for India’s win But Powerful batting performance by J DU Plessis and J Peterson helped SA for a massive win over India in World cup keeping their record alive(SA never lost a match by India in World cups) Match got into the last over and required a 16 digit runs form it, there was a chaos who should be the bowler after a break of brain storming team relied on MS Dhoni's decision to put ball in the hand of Ashish Nehra for last over.That was the turning point of the match, in the very first ball of the over converted into a boundary by Peterson, still there was a hope but immediately a mega six by Peterson faded India’s winning hope, finishing it with a style Peterson hit a damn good cover drive and put an end to the whole excitement. South Africa won by 3 wickets puttingIndia a break form winning trend.
