"description": "Daily Maverick is an independent online news publication and weekly print newspaper in South Africa.\r\n\r\nIt is known for breaking some of the defining stories of South Africa in the past decade, including the Marikana Massacre, in which the South African Police Service killed 34 miners in August 2012.\r\n\r\nIt also investigated the Gupta Leaks, which won the 2019 Global Shining Light Award.\r\n\r\nThat investigation was credited with exposing the Indian-born Gupta family and former President Jacob Zuma for their role in the systemic political corruption referred to as state capture.\r\n\r\nIn 2018, co-founder and editor-in-chief Branislav ‘Branko’ Brkic was awarded the country’s prestigious Nat Nakasa Award, recognised for initiating the investigative collaboration after receiving the hard drive that included the email tranche.\r\n\r\nIn 2021, co-founder and CEO Styli Charalambous also received the award.\r\n\r\nDaily Maverick covers the latest political and news developments in South Africa with breaking news updates, analysis, opinions and more.",

In response, India reached 117 in the 17th over.\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">South Africa won the toss and elected to bat first on the same wicket that was used in Thursday’s final Twenty20 clash, but the decision proved disastrous, and India exploited the seamer-friendly conditions superbly to set up a very modest chase for victory. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">South Africa’s previous lowest innings score on home soil was 118 against India in Pretoria in 2018. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Singh picked up five wickets for 37 runs in his 10 overs and Khan took four for 27 in eight as they bowled a wicket-to-wicket line that had seven of the batters either bowled or dismissed leg before wicket. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Singh came into the match without a wicket in his three previous ODIs but had two in two balls when he dismissed Reeza Hendricks and Rassie van der Dussen, both for ducks. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo offered some resistance for South Africa with 33 from 49 balls before he became Singh’s fifth and final victim. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Khan then ripped through the middle and lower order for his career-best bowling figures in ODIs. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fixture is the first of three after the teams squared a three-match T20 series 1-1. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both teams are missing several of their regular players, who are either injured or rested for the two-match Test series that follows. </span>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/1st-one-day-international-south-africa-v-india-4/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1982428\" src=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/TL_2149033-1-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"380\" /></a> <em>Shreyas Iyer of India during the 1st one-day international match between South Africa and India at DP World Wanderers Stadium on 17 December 2023 in Johannesburg, South Africa.

India captain KL Rahul said he thought it was his spinners who would win the day. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tourists won the final Twenty20 International on the same wicket on Thursday, and Rahul says he believed it would be a game for his spinners. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, seamers Arshdeep Singh (5-37) and Avesh Khan (4-27) recorded career-best figures. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“It was completely different to what we expected,” Rahul said at the post-match presentation. “We had planned to bring the spinners into the game early after what we saw in the T20 match. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“But there was a lot of help in the wicket and the boys did really well to put the ball into the right areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“It is my first ODI win here [South Africa] as a captain. When I was here last time [January 2022], we lost all three, so it is good to get that victory under your belt.” </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both sides have rested players ahead of a two-match Test series starting on 26 December. There were several new faces in the Indian team, including debutant opening batter Sai Sudharsan, who took his chance with an unbeaten 55 from 43 balls. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“There is a lot of cricket being played these days. You have to prioritise formats and at the moment it is Test cricket and T20s a little bit,” Rahul said. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“That is the modern-day game, but we believe whoever is here will perform for their country.” </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">South Africa never got going in the game with bat or ball and have much to think about ahead of the second match in the three-game series in Gqeberha on Tuesday. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Credit to their bowling attack with the lateral movement,” said home captain Aiden Markram. “We weren’t able to settle and build partnerships. It was a problem right from the start and we couldn’t pull things back. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“We expected it to go around [seam] a little bit. Generally, in the day games, it does do something for five to seven overs.
