Philander leads Proteas to stunning win with day to spare
Led by Vernon Philander’s brilliance‚ South Africa’s pace attack ripped through India’s batting lineup to clinch a stunning victory in the first test at Newlands yesterday. Despite the removal of Dale Steyn from the equation by injury‚ South Africa defended a target of 209 to win by 72 runs with more than a day to spare – that after the entire third day was lost to rain.
