With a superb display by the bowlers, defending champions India beat South Africa by 8 wickets and become the first team from Group B to enter the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy on Sunday.
India dismissed world top-ranked ODI team South Africa for 191 runs in 44.3 overs at The Oval.
Opener Quinton de Kock was the highest scorer for South Africa, with 53 runs from 72 balls. Pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar bagged two wickets each, and the latter was named man of the man for his figures of 2/28 in 8 overs.
Team India was not too bothered by the target of 192, and chased it successfully in 38 overs with eight wickets to spare. With the win, India will now enter the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy for the fifth time. Shikhar Dhawan continued his fine run in the tournament with 78, while Virat Kohli remained not out on 76.
After opening batsman Rohit Sharma (12) fell to paceman Morkel, Dhawan and Kohli shared a second-wicket stand of 128 in 24.3 overs to hand India a comfortable victory. Yuvraj Singh contributed an unbeaten 23 late in the chase.
The win took India's points tally to four, while South Africa were eliminated, with only two points from three matches.
India will meet Bangladesh in the semi-finals on 15 June. The other semi-finalist from Group B will be the victor of Monday's match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka – both have two points each. The winner will meet England in the other last-four contest.
