South Africa extended their impressive unbeaten run to finish the Super Eight stage of the ICC World Twenty20 with a perfect record by downing reigning champions India by 12 runs at Trent Bridge.In a match where spin bowling dominated, an innings of 63 from AB de Villiers set South Africa up as they reached 130 for five before they restricted India to 118 for eight.
Dhoni used eight bowlers, at one point using seven bowlers in as many overs and it took the spin to first break a useful partnership between Graeme Smith (26) and de Villiers and then tie the South Africans down.
De Villiers hit seven fours and there were no sixes as Ravi Jadeja, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina all turned their arm over, de Villiers eventually falling when he was caught and bowled by Jadeja, who bowled his three overs to return one for nine.
