Raina's century made in a Twenty20 international and included nine fours and five sixes as he peppered the ball around the field showing superb timing and placement.

Yuvraj Singh's 37 contributed to a key 88-run partnership with Raina who brought up his ton with a massive six over midwicket in the final over before he was caught off the next ball from Morkel.

Proteas elected to use the big-hitting Loots Bosman as captain Graeme Smith's partner at the top of the order.

Teams:

India: Dinesh Karthik, Murali Vijay, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt/wkt), Yusuf Pathan, Ravindra Jadeja, Harbhajan Singh, Praveen Kumar, Piyush Chawla, Ashish Nehra

South Africa: Graeme Smith, Loots Bosman, Jacques Kallis, AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, Mark Boucher (wkt), Albie Morkel, Roelof van der Merwe, Morne Morkel, Rory Kleinveldt, Dale Steyn

Umpires: Aleem Dar (PAK) and Simon Taufel (AUS)

TV umpire: Rod Tucker (AUS)
