South Africa Dominate India to Clinch Series Victory
In a stunning display of bowling prowess, South Africa crushed India by a massive margin to secure a series win in the test match. The hosts, faced with a monumental target of 549 runs, were dismantled for a paltry 140 in their second innings, handing the Proteas a decisive victory.
Harmer the Wrecker-in-Chief
The architect of India's collapse was once again off-spinner Simon Harmer. He produced a magical spell, returning career-best figures of six wickets for 37 runs. Harmer ran through the Indian batting lineup, exploiting the conditions perfectly and leaving the batsmen with no answers. His performance was the cornerstone of South Africa's dominant bowling display on the final day.
India's Daunting Chase Ends in Disarray
Set an almost impossible target of 549 runs to win, the Indian team never found their footing. The batting order crumbled under the relentless pressure applied by the South African bowlers. The innings concluded at a meager 140 runs, resulting in a crushing defeat by 408 runs. This loss marks a significant setback for the Indian cricket team on home soil.
Series Concluded and Looking Ahead
With this comprehensive victory, South Africa has completed a memorable series win. The match, which concluded on 26 November 2025, will be remembered for Harmer's exceptional bowling. The result prompts serious questions for the Indian team management as they look to rebuild and address the evident frailties in their batting against quality spin.
