India lost their first wicket chasing South Africa's target of 269 runs, opener Rohit Sharma played a very poor short , giving an easy catch to wicket keeper de Kock. Riding on skipper Faf du Plessis's 120 runs knock South Africa put up a score of 269 runs in their 50 overs. India now needs 270 runs to win the 1st ODI match against the host. After South Africa chose to bat, Kuldeep yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal dented the middle order with some regular strikes but du Plessis strung partnerships with Chris Morris and Andile Phehlukwayo at the end to help the Proteas get to a good score. India are sensing their chance to end a massive jinx at Kingsmead, Durban today.
