South Africa made unwanted history en route to defeat against India as they recorded their lowest ever score at home in a one-day international.

The Proteas were dismissed for just 118 batting first at Centurion - the country's worst all-out total, beating the 119 made against England at Port Elizabeth in 2009.

It made for a simple chase for the Indians, with Shikhar Dhawan making an unbeaten half-century in reply as the tourists went 2-0 up in the series.

On a slow, turning surface that must have felt something like home for the visitors, India sent South Africa in to bat first.

Hashim Amla and Quinton de Kock made a solid start, putting on 39 for the first wicket, while the score advanced to 51 for one before the innings deteriorated.

In the space of six balls, the hosts lost their second, third and fourth wickets, with the score not moving.

The struggling De Kock, whose average in all formats against India on the current tour is just 15.62, was caught by Hardik Pandya off Yuzvendra Chahal, captain Aiden Markram surrendered his wicket to Kuldeep Yadav and David Miller went for a second-ball duck.

JP Duminy and Khaya Zondo added 48 for the fifth wicket but once Zondo was gone, the tail quickly followed.

No batsman made more than 25 as South Africa were bowled out with more than 17 overs of their alloted 50 remaining.

India's response was quick and emphatic.

Rohit Sharma was the only wicket to fall, caught by Morne Morkel off Kagiso Rabada, as both Dhawan and Virat Kohli scored at a run a ball to ensure the tourists of victory with 30 overs to spare, even if they were made to wait through a bizarre lunch break - taken with just two runs required - to complete the job.
