South Africa thrash India to wn first ODI by by 141 runs

Q de Kock celebrates his second ODI century

The Pink-Floyds beat the hell out of the visiting Indian cricket team when they thrashed the visitors and won the first ODI by 141 runs at Johannesburg.

India, winning the toss, chose to field and must have regretted the decision  South Africa's Q de Kock smashed 135, his second ODI century, followed by impressive scoring by AB de Villiers (77) and Hashim Amla (65). At the end of the play, South Africa were 358 for four with Duminy (59) and Miller (7) still on the crease. From Indian camp, Shami took 3/68.



Coming to bat, India was in trouble as Steyn and McLaren struck the visitors with full fury and took three wickets each. Except for captain Dhoni who scored 65, none could gobeyond 30 except Kohli who dared 31. India were all out for mere 217 - losing the match by 141 runs.

Q de Kock (South Africa) was declared Player of the match for his impressive century.

The 2nd ODI between South Africa and India will be played at Durban on December 8.
