India’s misery against South Africa was finally put to an end last Sunday. The home side went on to achieve a hard-fought 17-run win against the Proteas in a high-scoring thriller to go 1-0 up in the series. Virat Kohli’s 52nd ODI ton paved the way to help India set a commanding target of 350. Moreover, healthy contributions from Rohit Sharma (57 off 51) and KL Rahul (32 off 20) further dampened the South African spirits.
In reply, South Africa got off to the worst possible start, losing three wickets for only 11 runs on the board. Harshit Rana turned out to be a destroyer-in-chief as he put the squeeze on by dismissing Rickelton and de Kock for 0 inside his very first over. But the visitors seemed resolute and had no intentions of going down without a fight.
Breetzke joined hands with Jansen and added a swashbuckling 97 runs for the sixth wicket at a very healthy clip. Jansen continued his prolific form with the bat and smashed a counterattacking 70 off 39, accounting for 8 fours and 3 sixes. But during the 34th over, South Africa suffered a double setback, which saw the demise of Breetzke and Jansen in quick succession.
Despite a double blow from Kuldeep, South Africa kept pushing on. Corbin Bosch took the game deep and kept the Indians on the edge by smashing a valiant 67 (51). The game progressed till the final over, where 18 runs were needed. South Africa’s luck eventually ran out as Bosch miscued a half-volley-length delivery only to find Rohit at extra cover, giving India a nervy 17-run victory.
The second ODI of the India vs South Africa ODI series is slated to be held at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur. Before the action begins, we will take a look at the India vs South Africa 2nd ODI Predicted XI, Head to Head, Player Stats, and Dream11 Prediction.
