Rohit Sharma plays a shot on his way to a century against South Africa. After winning the toss and electing to bat, South Africa posted a below-par 227 for nine in their 50 overs as wily wrist-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal returned figures of 4-51 following a superb opening burst from seamer Jasprit Bumrah (2-35). South Africa created opportunities in the field, but as has been the case throughout the World Cup so far, were uncharacteristically sloppy. Chahal had earlier restricted South Africa's total with four wickets, continuing his excellent form against the Proteas in recent years. They have spinners through the middle who always get wickets," South Africa captain Du Plessis said.
