South Africa posted the joint-third highest total in one-day international history and lifted the Paytm Trophy as they beat India by 214 runs in Mumbai to win the series 3-2. Quinton de Kock (109), Faf du Plessis (133) and skipper AB de Villiers (119) all hit centuries in their 438-4. Only once before has a team made three centuries in an ODI, also South Africa against West Indies in January. India were all out for 224 in the 36th over, their second heaviest ODI defeat in terms of runs.

The South Africa captain, who holds the record for the fastest ODI century – 31 balls –  now has seven hundreds scored in 75 balls or fewer. India seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar returned figures of 1-106 in his 10 overs, the second most expensive in ODIs behind Australian Mick Lewis’s 0-113 against South Africa in 2006.

South Africa, who have never won a bilateral ODI series in India, finished with the mammoth total, the joint third highest ever and 17th 400—plus score in ODI history. his was only the second time that three batsmen scored a century each in an ODI match, the other instance also being by the South African team against the West Indies in Johannesburg early this year.
