NEW DELHI: R Ashwin arrested South Africa marathon by dismissing a dangerous Faf du Plessis (58 off 41)and AB de Villiers (10) in quick succession.

Scorecard

Plessis revived South Africa after the dismissal of Hashim Amla with his aggressive stroke play and slammed a fiery half-ton taking his side past 100 in the 13th over.

The skipper reached his half-ton in 36 balls murdering the Indian attack. He hit five boundaries and two brilliant sixes during his 41-ball stay before Ashwin bowled him out with a stunner.

The spinner claimed his third wicket in the form of de Villers in the 16th over by getting him caught by Rohit Sharma near the rope at the score of 129.

Ashwin, earlier, ended Amla's challenge by bowling him out after his 16-ball-22 to give South Africa second blow at the score of 44.

Ashwin's carom ball pitched well outside leg before turning unexpectedly to hit the off stumps, leaving Amla surprised.

Amla was looking dangerous as he lifted South Africa after initial blow. He slammed four boundaries during his knock and shared 35-run partnership for the second wicket.

Earlier, pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar struck in the first over to get Quinton de Kock (6) caught behind after South Africa elected to bat.

Kumar's swinger kissed Kock's willow before going straight to keeper Dhoni's gloves at the score of (9).

Indian squad remain unchanged, while Faf du Plessis is back as South Africa captain.

India will look to capitalize on South Africa's two perennial problems — a weakness against spin and inability to win knockout matches in ICC events.

India will once again rely on the trio of Amit Mishra (leg-spinner), R Ashwin (offie) and left-arm-tweaker Ravindra Jadeja to unsettle the Proteas, who are being led by Faf du Plessis.

India: Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, MS Dhoni(c), R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Amit Mishra, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohit Sharma

South Africa: Quinton de Kock, Hashim Amla, Faf du Plessis, AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, David Miller, Albie Morkel, Wayne Parnell, Dale Steyn, Beuran Hendricks, Imran Tahir
