Preview
South Africa will compete against India in the second ODI of the three-match series at St George’s Park in Gqeberha. After losing the first ODI in a drubbing to the Indian cricket team by eight wickets with 200 balls remaining, the Proteas need to bounce back quickly if they want to take the series to a decider. For the Men in Blue, it is going to be important to try and keep their standards from the previous match going, which would put them in the box seat to clinch the ODI series against South Africa on December 19.

Pitch Report
Analysis
The batting lineup of South Africa was a massive letdown against a highly impressive fast-bowling display from India, getting bundled out for just 116 runs within 28 overs. The Protea bowlers didn’t have many runs to defend, which led to them not troubling the opposition much in the pursuit of a low target.
As far as the Indian cricket team are concerned, Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan bowled exceptionally well, sharing nine out of ten wickets amongst themselves to restrict the South Africans to a poor total. The pursuit of the 117-run target was defined by the debutant Sai Sudharshan and the experienced Shreyas Iyer, with both the batters registering fifties under their belt.
