India’s lost against South Africa in the first ODI. Without their big guns, who are in Australia for the T20 World Cup, India struggled to keep up with the quality of the full-strength South African squad in all three departments. Skipper Shikhar Dhawan will be looking to inspire his side to script a comeback in the second ODI of the series slated for Sunday, October 9, in Ranchi.
Though India did not have much at stake, the South Africans had to accumulate points for the World Cup Super League. The visitors bagged 10 crucial points after thumping India by 9 runs.
An unbeaten fifth-wicket stand of 139 off 106 balls between the in-form Heinrich Klaasen and the David Miller led the Proteas to a total of 249. Another brilliant bowling performance from South Africa’s pace attack in the initial overs reduced India to 51 for 4 in 18 overs, which proved vital for their victory.
India had positives in the game as Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer notched up half-centuries to give the hosts some hope in the chase. A well-compiled innings of 86 runs from Samson went in vain as India failed to reach the target.Samson let his batting do the talking after being snubbed from the T20 World Cup squad.
