JAIPUR: India overcame the absence of four top stars to beat South Africa by one run in a thrilling One-Day International on Sunday and take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Wayne Parnell was run out off the final delivery, attempting a second run that would have tied the match, to leave the Proteas on 297 all out in reply to India’s 298/9.
The tourists were tottering at 225/8 in the 43rd over when the ninth-wicket pair of Parnell and Dale Steyn swung the day-night match around by adding 65 off 38 balls.
South Africa, needing 26 off the final 12 deliveries, smashed 16 runs in the penultimate over of Ashish Nehra that included a six each by Parnell and Steyn.
With nine runs required from five deliveries, seamer Praveen Kumar bowled Steyn and conceded just seven more off the next four to hand India a thrilling win.
Parnell hit a defiant 49 off 47 balls and Steyn plundered an 18-ball 35, but the pair failed to take the tourists across the line at the Sawai Man Singh stadium in Jaipur.
Earlier, Suresh Raina top-scored with 58 off 63 balls and Virender Sehwag hammered a typically aggressive 46 off 37 balls as the hosts piled up 298/9 after being sent in to bat.

Let down by the batsmen, India slumped to a 24-run defeat in the fourth One-dayer that not only allowed Australia to level the seven-match cricket series 2-2 but also prolonged the hosts’ wait to become the number one ODI team in the world on Monday.
Chasing 251, India got off to a flier with Virender Sehwag (30 off 19 balls) looking eager to wrap up the issue and Sachin Tendulkar (40) going great guns.
But their undoing was no less spectacular as the middle and lower order could not forge a single significant partnership and the team folded for 226 in 46.4 overs.
Earlier put into bat, Australia stitched together half-centuries from Ponting (52) and White (62) and cameos from Shane Watson (49) and Michael Hussey (40) to reach 250 before wilting in 49.2 overs.

Yuvraj Singh and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni produced scintillating knocks on a tricky track as India recovered from early jolts tospank Australia by six wickets in the third cricket One-day and take a 2-1 lead in the seven-match series on Saturday.
After Australia posted a competitive 229 for five largely built around Michael Hussey’s unbeaten 81, Yuvraj (78) and Dhoni (71 not out) played their innings brilliantly to guide the team home with 10 balls to spare in a relatively low-scoring contest.
Both the batsmen started cautiously on a difficult Feroze Shah Kotla strip before unleashing a barrage of strokes in a record fourth wicket partnership, which took the game away from the hapless visitors.

Watch cricket highlights: India vs Australia, the 1st ODI (to be) played at Vadodara on October 25, 2009.
Scoreline: Aus 292/8 Ponting 74, Mike Hussey 73 (54), Paine 50, Cameron White 51 | Ishanth 10-1-50-3
India lose by 4: Gambhir 68, Harbhajan 49 (31), Praveen Kumar 40 (32) Hauritz 9-1-34-1, Lee 6-28-1
Ishanth Sharma shows some semblance of a return despite the dropped pace; Ponting is a cut above his teammates in tough morning conditions; Hussey makes himself heard; Harbhajan makes up for his listless bowling with some stunning hits; Hauritz is the best spinner today; Praveen Kumar who’s been picked until now only in games where conditions suit the moving ball shows glimpses of what he could do with the bat in future (have seen him hit cleaner big ones than he did today); Lee inexplicably bowls just 6 overs; and Ravindra Jadeja justifies the reason he was played today – with Yuvraj still not fit there was no one else to pick. India don’t play 5 bowlers too often and the only other options available were bowlers. Which makes you wonder about the rationale behind dropping Yusuf from the squad and including Jadeja. If Yusuf’s recent run was the reason (not justifiable cos he’s hardly had a fair chance at the bowling), Uthappa would have been a better pick considering you want someone at 7 who’ll win you a game, not someone who at best will get you a pointless 30/40.
