Mahendra Singh Dhoni&#39;s defiant 92 not out and Ajinkya Rahane&#39;s 51 took India to 247\/9 in 50 overs. During the chase, South Africa kept losing wickets regularly and were bowled out for 225 in 43.4 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&ldquo;They (India) pulled it off across the line, credit to India. The target was manageable and it was a poor batting performance from us. We couldn&#39;t extend it after the opening partnership,&rdquo; de Villiers said at the post-match presentation ceremony here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>For India, medium pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar and left-arm spinner Axar Patel took three wickets each, while off-spinner Harbhajan Singh claimed two wickets<br \/>\r\n.<br \/>\r\n&ldquo;You have to stay positive no matter what total you are chasing, we couldn&#39;t execute well. It was a very good performance from our bowlers and we would have loved to chase something like 200,&quot; the skipper said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 31-year-old played down his back injury. &quot;There is nothing too serious about my back, just pulled my lower back a bit and should be fit for the next match,&rdquo; the right-handed batsman said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>(IANS)<\/p>\r\n",
