South Africa beat India

Sachin Tendulkar's 99th international century was in vain as South Africa got their World Cup campaign back on track with a dramatic three-wicket win over co-hosts India in Nagpur today.



With India batting first, Tendulkar compiled 111 off 101 balls to register his sixth World Cup century but only Virender Sehwag 73 and Gautam Gambhir 69 supported him.



The co-hosts had looked on track for a massive total but lost their last nine wickets for just 29 runs, with Dale Steyn taking five for 50, as India were bowled out for 296 from 48 point 4 overs.



But in a dramatic finale, tail-ender Robin Peterson struck 18 off seven balls to see the Proteas to a target of 297 with two balls to spare.



Two Group-A matches are scheduled for tomorrow in India. Canada and New Zealand will face off in Mumbai and Australia will play Kenya in Bangalore.
