SA vs IND ODI Match: In the second match against South Africa, Team India will go to win at any cost
Ranchi. The Indian team will look to register a win at any cost with better bowling in the second ODI against South Africa to be played here on Sunday, although Deepak Chahar’s exit due to an ankle injury has compounded the team’s problems. However, this bilateral ODI series ahead of the T20 World Cup to be held in Australia later this month is completely meaningless. Now all eyes are on Rohit Sharma’s team which has reached Perth for the practice matches of T20 World Cup, so the players who missed out on the Indian team are not going to benefit from this series.

Chahar suffered an injury before the first ODI in Lucknow and now the back problem is also bothering him. Mohammad Siraj and Avesh Khan could not impress. In such a situation, new Bengal fast bowler Mukesh Kumar can be given a chance. In batting, Shreyas Iyer will have to score runs as he is one of the reserve batsmen of the T20 World Cup. Iyer, who was named vice-captain for the series, took the lead after the top-order failed in the first match. Iyer, who was struggling with problems with short-pitched deliveries and slow strike rate, played a daring innings. The most positive thing about the last match for India was the performance of Sanju Samson, who has not been able to cement his place in the team even after seven years of making his debut. Samson scored 86 off 63 balls and stabilized the middle order. Captain Shikhar Dhawan has already given proof of his leadership ability against West Indies and Sri Lanka. He will come with the intention of giving the team a strong start while Shubman Gill would like to prove his mettle again as an opener in the ODI team.

On the other hand, Super League points are at stake for the Temba Bavuma-led South Africa team in this match, which will give them a direct entry into next year’s ODI World Cup. Bavuma himself has been battling a rough patch and scored eight runs in three T20Is after scoring 0, 0, 3 in Lucknow. Two weeks later, the T20 World Cup is starting and the team will be expecting a good innings from him. David Miller scored a century in Guwahati and scored an unbeaten 75 in the previous match.
