During the Opening Overs itself, South Africa did not chase their target well, by losing wickets constantly and were very well behind the Resource Clock Index. They were unable to overcome their poor start in the Middle Overs and End Overs, despite doing better and lost by a huge margin of 153 runs.

However this match was historic for Tendulkar's triumphant 200, the first double century in One Day Cricket matches.
