Tsotsobe wrecks hapless India

JOHANNESBURG – Lonwabo Tsotsobe produced career-best bowling figures of four for 22 as South Africa bowled out India for 190 in the second one-day international at the Wanderers Stadium on Saturday.
The tall left-arm opening bowler took four for 22 to lead a superb performance by the South African bowlers and fielders after India won the toss and batted on what is usually a high-scoring ground.
It was an outstanding follow-up by Tsotsobe, who was named man of the match after taking four for 31 when South Africa won the first international by 135 runs in Durban on Wednesday. Yuvraj Singh made 53 and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni scored 38 but neither batsman was able to dominate during a fourth wicket stand of 83 off 107 balls.
Singh reached his half-century off 67 balls when he glanced Tsotsobe for his fourth boundary – but he was out next ball when he pushed a slower delivery from Tsotsobe to mid-off. Tsotsobe had Murali Vijay caught at deep midwicket in a spell of one for 11 in six overs. He but came back to start an Indian collapse in which the last six wickets fell for 21 runs.
