India win Kanpur Test against South Africa, level Series 1-1


Faced with malicious spin and bounce, South Africa’s batsmen were trapped in defence as they collapsed for 121 on what turned out to be the final day of the Kanpur Test. Needing 62 for a much-needed win, India cruised home in 13.1 overs to clinch the last Test and level the series 1-1. After the happenings at Ahmedabad, the win here helped India preserve its unbeaten home series record since 2004. Sourav Ganguly was deservedly named Man-of-the-Match for his 87 in the first innings, while Harbhajan Singh’s consistent performance in the three matches earned him the Man-of-the-Series award.


Scores: South Africa : 1st innings 265, 2nd innings 121
India : 1st innings 325, 2nd innings 64 for 2 ( won by 8 wickets)
