With little time to rest, India will be hoping for a better batting performance and turnaround against South Africa in the second ODI at Boland Park on Friday.
In a short three-match series with only one day gap between matches, India had to bat right, which was one of the main reasons for them losing the first match by 31 runs and trailing 1-0. . Chain.
Chasing a target of 298, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli were getting along well until the two fell early. On a slow and spin-assisted pitch in Paarl, where stroke-play was difficult for the fresh batsmen at the crease, India’s middle order failed to chase down the target and fell without making any significant contribution as the tourists fell to 188/6. went. ,
Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer fell on short deliveries while Rishabh Pant was dismissed by a brilliant stumping from Quinton de Kock. Eventually, the visitors were able to score 265/8 in 50 overs.
