South Africa batsmen made short work of India's bowlers as they cruised to a nine-wicket
win in the fifth one day international, completing a 4-0 whitewash in the
series on Sunday.
Victory was achieved with 18 overs and four balls to spare as the Proteas reached
their victory target of 201 for the loss of just one wicket.
Graeme Smith was the only wicket to fall, departing
for 79 when he steered a ball from Harbhajan Singh to deep extra cover
where Dinesh Karthik took the catch.
Smith had put on 173 for the first wicket with AB De Villiers
who finished unbeaten on 92 as a brisk 16 from Shaun Pollock - who hit
three fours off his 10 balls - denied the opener a chance of a century.
Pollock collected the man of the match award and the man of
the series awards after the game.
