India were in the dominating position in the first ODI when they bowled out South Africa in just 116 runs and chased it under 17 overs with 8 wickets in hand. South Africa occupied the identical position on the second ODI at Gqeberha. They bowled out India for 211 runs and South Africa chased down the target with 8 wickets in hand.
Dominators of New Wanderers were dominated in Gqeberha! It was an amazing turnaround, made possible by the Proteas. Now, KL Rahul will be hoping to return to winning ways at the Boland Park Stadium in Paarl on Thursday in order to wrap up the three-match series in their favour.
There will be a lot of concerns for the Indian team management to consider heading into the third One-Day International, especially considering the form of Tilak Varma and Ruturaj Gaikwad. With scores of 5 and 4, respectively, Ruturaj, who batted first for India along with Sai Sudharsan, has not been able to get going in the first two matches. Tilak Varma, who was dismissed for 10 in the second ODI, has not yet had an impact with the bat.
While, bowling was also not up to the mark in the second ODI. Mukesh Kumar is getting back to back chances but any impactful performance is due from his side. Hopefully, he is going to have his day today in the IND vs SA 3rd ODI.
