Lowest ODI totals for South Africa at home

Though the dynamics of limited-overs cricket have changed in the last few years the home team still rolls out pitches that might be flatter but bring some home advantage. If it is a match in the subcontinent the wicket gets slower and the ball turns as the game progresses. The ball moves early and seams throughout when playing in countries like Australia, England, New Zealand and South Africa. But the Proteas have been fish out of water in the ongoing ODI series against India.

Among other hapless scores is – 119 against England in Port Elizabeth during which they could only play 36.5 overs. England have bowled them out cheap under 150 thrice with the other two being 129 in London back in 1996 where they played 41.4 overs but the runs never seemed to be adding up on the board. Another was 149 in Johannesburg, 2000. The Aussie bowlers have also had the better of them in ODI cricket and bowled them out twice for less than 150.
