India eyeing landmark series win

India's indomitable cricket team look set for a landmark series triumph but an injury-ravaged South Africa will hope for some AB de Villiers magic to halt their charge in the fourth ODI on Saturday.

With an unassailable 3-0 lead, India need just one more win to claim their maiden ODI series triumph on South African soil. The closest they came was in 2010-11 when they shot into a 2-1 lead only to lose the five-match series 3-2.

A fourth consecutive win will also cement their spot as the No.1 side in the ICC ODI Rankings.

South Africa may have slight cause for optimism as de Villiers was, on Thursday, added to their ODI squad for the remainder three matches. However, the hosts are still circumspect about his chances of playing.
