This pitch isn't a very easy one. South Africa should have crossed 300 mark but the pitch started playing its tricks in death overs and the same thing could happen with the Indian inning unless due comes into play. Otherwise, I believe proteas already has a competitive total.
India is playing with bat deep strategy as Lord Thakur will come at num 8 so they have depth in batting but hardly any experience under their belt.
Don't know how the pitch is not easy for the south Africans but all of sudden it comes easy for the Indians who chased this target in 46th over with only three wickets down. These days the losing teams always come up with excuses of bad pitch while actually its their performance which is bad.
Yeah, you will say that South Africa did win the 1st ODI but remember they lost the T20 series and i am sure they will lose the ODI series too.
It's not easy to win against India when you are playing in India. India is unstoppable with Shreyas Iyer scored over a 100 runs and Ishan Kishan missing a century by just seven runs.
I am being honest. This was a really good performance from India even though the openers of India could not do much. And we all know that India is capable of chasing. They have proved that once again. I think this match was just terminated by the Indian batsmen. They played really well in this match. It was a little sad to see Ishan Kishan not get his century. But Shreyas Iyer got his 100 and these 2 innings were the catalyst for India's victory.
Now I am not sure if South Africa will be able to win in the last match. It's drawn between both the teams 1-1. Right now, I am not confident that South Africa will be able to win the last match of this ODI series. But at the same time, the openers of India are not doing very well. So, that is something that South African bowlers will try to take advantage of.
