It was once South Africa’s first fit since readmission to global cricket and Tendulkar’s first large war of words towards a bowler he was once to have nice battles with. To set up Alan Donald.
Chasing 179 in 47 overs, Donald, referred to as ‘White Lightning’ for his searing tempo, blew away the highest order and at 60 for 4, India have been in hassle. But Tendulkar illuminated the Eden with a high-quality counterattack and with debutant Pravin Amre (55) noticed India via.

But 4 years later, on the Captain Roop Singh Stadium, in Gwalior, his 70 off 91 balls allowed India to canter house via 5 wickets and 10.2 overs to spare.
Curtly Ambrose had lowered India to fifteen for two and Courtney Walsh and Ian Bishop had bowled probing spells, however in Tendulkar, who had slammed 100 within the earlier fit vs Kenya in Cuttack, India had a person in top shape and anyone who had mastered the grammar of ODI batting.
