South Africa v Pakistan - ICC Champions Trophy Warm Up
Colin Ingram scored a century to help South Africa post a huge total

Colin Ingram had a good start to his career but failed to perform continuously and ultimately lost his place in the team. He played his last one-day five years back and with age catching up to him, it is highly unlikely that he will feature again in the national team.

South Africa hosted Zimbabwe for a three-match ODI series in 2010. The hosts won the toss and chose to bat first but lost their opener Graeme Smith for just 19 runs. Ingram, the debutant who walked in at No.3 went on to build key-partnerships with Amla and Miller. As a result of these partnerships, the hosts posted a huge total of 351-6 in 50 overs.Ingram finished with 124 off 126 balls with eight fours and two sixes.

In reply, Brendan Taylor exploded for 145 off 136 balls but did not get the kind of support he deserved and the visitors lost the game by 64 runs. The debutant was awarded the Man of the Match.
