Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav continued to weave their magic as they shared eight wickets between them to dismiss South Africa for 118 in 32.2 overs.

Chahal, who claimed his maiden ODI five-wicket haul, became the first Indian to do so against South Africa in their backyard.

The young leg-spinner, playing in just his 19th ODI, produced the best bowling spell by an Indian in ODIs against South Africa at their home taking 5/22 on Centurion Park pitch known to help pacers.

Chahal, who claimed 2 wickets in Durban last week, got rid of Quinton de Kock, JP Duminy, Khaya Zondo, Morne Morkel and Chris Morris in his 8 overs to achieve the feat.

While Chalal was the pick of Indian bowlers, Yadav was not far behind as he snared 3/20 in his 6 overs.

For the second match in a row, the Indian pacers were not as effective as the spinners as Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar had to satisfy with one wicket each.
