LONDON, June 26 (Reuters) - South Africa captain Jacques Kallis hit an unbeaten 91 to ease South Africa to a four-wicket win over India in their first one-dayer in the Future Cup in Belfast on Tuesday.

India made 242 for eight, helped by 99 from Sachin Tendulkar and 74 by Rahul Dravid.

But Kallis and all-rounder Vernon Philander (17 not out) put on an unbeaten 55 for the seventh wicket as South Africa reached 245-6 and victory with three balls to spare.

South Africa lead the three-match series 1-0 with the next game on Friday. Both teams previously beat Ireland in one-dayers.
