Virat Kohli equalled the record of fellow India great Sachin Tendulkar as he hit his 49th one-day international century in a dominant 243-run win for the hosts against South Africa in the World Cup.

It means India is assured of top spot after winning all eight of their group-stage matches.

With India and South Africa leading the way at the top of the group stage, this match was a potential dress rehearsal for the World Cup final in Ahmedabad later this month.

The convincing nature of this win will do little to alter India's status as heavy favourites to lift the trophy for the third time.

India is currently leading the Cricket World Cup table with 16 points while South Africa is second with 12 points and Australia third with 10 points.

In today's match, Bangladesh will face Sri Lanka at 8.30pm.
