SA's sweet revenge

SPORTS REPORTER
A fifth-wicket stand between Neil McKenzie and Mark Boucher propelled South Africa to a five-wicket win over tournament favourites India in the last robin league match of the TVS Cup tri-nation series at the Bangabandhu National Stadium yesterday.
The pair added 107 runs as the Proteas, chasing India's total of 215 in 50 overs, survived an early collapse before reaching the target in 48.4 overs.
Man-of the-match McKenzie scored a patient 80 off 107 deliveries with the help of six boundaries to design India's first defeat in the tournament. The result also avenged South Africa's 153-run loss on April 15.
McKenzie's brilliant knock came to an end with his side needing four runs for a much-needed victory ahead of Sunday's final.
Boucher was unbeaten on 44 off 49 balls that featured two boundaries.
Jacques Rudolph gave another impressive performance making a 64-ball 37.
Earlier, skipper Saurav Ganguly scored 61 to help India reach their modest total.
The Indian skipper who was back in the side after not playing against Bangladesh on Wednesday, hit six fours and a six off 83 deliveries.
He was out when he hit a full toss from spinner Paul Adams straight to Shaun Pollock at long-off.
The left-hander, who made his 52nd one-day half-century in 233 matches, hit some characteristic shots through the off-side early in the innings and looked good for his 23rd century.
Besides, Mohammad Kaif contributed with a 49-ball 30 and Dinesh Mongia added 29 runs from 46 balls.
Kaif was given a life when the Hyderabad player batting on 16, was dropped by Jacques Rudolph at midwicket.
None of the Indian batters felt comfortable batting first against South African pace bowlers Allan Dawson and
Makhaya Ntini who shared seven scalps.
Dawson took 4-49 and Ntini 3-37 on a lively pitch. But right-arm Ntini extracted good pace and bounce from the pitch to dismiss Gautam Gambhir, Sanjay Bangar and Ajit Agarkar.
One of his deliveries struck Virender Sehwag on the arm and had he to be rushed to a local clinic for precautionary X-rays. He was batting on 14 at the time.
But with his team in trouble the inform opener returned to bat against doctor's advice but added only 11 runs.
