Ishan Kishan VS Shreyas Iyer
They both scored a half-century in this match, you can clearly see the difference between them. Ishan Kishan is behaving as an ODI batter wherein Shreyas is still in the T20 slow mode. Ishan has been using bat down attitude for most of his shots but Iyer is using a bat up approach. This is why Iyer has been vulnerable in every format of the game.
This is why Ishan Kishan is suited for ODI and Test cricket rather than a T20 player. Then again he is playing in his hometown.

As a result of their excellent batting performance, the visitors gave India a total of 278 runs in the second ODI. There is no doubt that the South African bowlers will try their best to defend the total because batting seems to be difficult. There were some tight overs in the last overs, but it will be a challenge for India. The match should be competitive. As SA leads the ODI series by 1-0, India will be delighted to be chasing 279; they cannot afford to lose. It's going to be a winning match for India, they're on the right track.
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.

India VS South Africa
South Africa won the toss and decided to bat first. A good decision in case if it might rain in Ranchi today. However their current run rate is below 5 and they have already lost 2 wickets. The pitch doesn't seems to favour batter but more to bowlers. This is the last match of the bi lateral series and India needs to win it otherwise they will lose this series in their home ground.
In the second match, Africa is batting well. So far they have managed to score 138 runs in 27 overs losing 2 wickets. There are two great batsmen on the pitch Aiden Markram and Reeza Hendricks they have put on a partnership of 110 runs. Even in today's match, their chances of victory are very high. Let's see what happens at the end.South Africa won the toss and decided to bat first. A good decision in case if it might rain in Ranchi today.

South Africa managed to collect 157 runs in 30 overs. They lost only two wickets. Hendricks remained unbeaten with 73 runs and Marakram 53 runs. South Africa's innings is getting longer because of the 117-run partnership between these two players. Now their average run rate is 5. But if these two players are at the crease, South Africa are likely to set a target of more than 300.
South Africa made 278 which may or may not be enough. At one stage South Africa were 215-4 and at that time it seems that South Africa will score over 300 runs but then they started losing wickets and end up on 278. Everyone chipped in and made a score while Aiden Markram topped with 79 runs.
From India, Mohammed Siraj was the best bowler who took three wickets. His economy rate was 3.80 only which was impressive.
India lost their captain Shikhar Dhawan at 13 runs only. India has a reasonable target to chase and it won't be an easy task. If South Afria took two three quick wickets, they can surely fancy their chances of winning this match.

Do not forget that South Africa had given a target of 250 runs in 40 overs in the first match. India lost the match. So there is no way to say for sure that India will win today's match. India's squad is very strong. They have several talented batsmen in their squad. Even then we cannot say for sure that India will win.
South Africa set a target of 279 runs. Their performance in the last few overs was very poor as South Africa collected 252 runs in 45 overs. And the South African batsmen collected only 26 runs in the last 30 balls. The Indian bowlers bowled brilliantly in the death over.

2nd ODI toss won by South Africa and decided to bat. The pitch is reported to be dry and there is not much of air and chances for rain. Three player changes made to the South Africa team Hendricks, Nortje and Imaad Fortuin. Mohammad Siraj opens in the bowling spell for India. Malan and De cock have opened the innings for South Africa. De Cock have lost his wicket scoring five runs, bowled wicket by Mohammad Siraj on the third over.
South Africa stumbled after winning the toss and batting. Quinton de Kock lost the crucial wicket. They scored only 10 runs for South Africa in 4 overs. South Africa will have to play very carefully. If South Africa lose one more wicket in 10 overs of powerplay then it will be difficult for South Africa to collect big in this innings. However, even if South Africa wins the first match, I predict India to win today's match. But if they are able to give a target of more than 300, South Africa will have a chance to win. Let's enjoy the match.
In 8.3 overs SA are 36/1, I think they have got the momentum. India is too strong on there home ground so SA need to score 300 plus and then bowl really well. India is not playing with out of form Kohli but they have in form players like Dhawan and lyer. Let's see who wins today.

Once again, Today, India Will play against the Visitors of South Africa. Even though India was the favorite in the last match, they had a bit of hard luck. Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer Played good cricket, but that wasn't enough for India to reach the target. All Africans Bowlers were doing tight bowling except Tabraiz Shamsi. He was too expensive. Klaasen and Miller Were outstanding with the bat. Klaasen was the man of the match for scoring 74 from 65 Balls. Let's see what happens today.
SA elected to bat after winning the toss and they have scored 7 runs and India got important wicket of de kock. No kohli today playing from India side, I don't know whether he is rested or he not playing becasue of some personal reasons. Can somebody please tell that

They were under pressure early in the innings especially as their early wicket fall proved to be a major obstacle in their game. Shikhar Dhawan did not perform well as captain. Shubman Gill's similar situation keep them in more danger. However, a big innings by Sanju Samson almost took India to victory but it was not possible at the end. The upcoming match is an important match for both the teams.
Shikhar Dhawan was pathetic. Shubman at least got out when it was clear that he couldn't keep up with the required rate. Samson did well with his individual performance. But in the end, he just refused to take the responsibility and asked the tail-end batsmen to score big hits. For me, it looked as if Samson was just playing for his individual record. A bit more composure and planning from the part of Samson would have changed the outcome of the match. But then we are talking about a match, where none of the Indian players were interested in winning.
One thing that I would like to point out is that I think the Indian bowlers should have been held more accountable for their discipline in this match. India conceded 22 extra runs (including one no-ball and 15 wides), which was a truly terrible showing of discipline by the bowlers. It is possible that India could have won the match if the extra runs had been a little less.
Moreover, in the second innings of the match, South Africa was also responsible for conceding a lot of extra runs (18, including two no-balls and 14 wides), and without the help of South Africa, I truly believe that India would not have been able to even get close to the target. There is no denying the fact that, in the end, it comes down mainly to the poor performance of the Indian openers and the top order as a whole.

India vs South Africa, ODI Series
The way they performed in the last T20 match, I must say that they will not go away from this series easily. But it is true that ODI cricket and T20 are not the same. In African cricket team there are 3 or 4 batsman are good enough to score more runs. Especially De Kock, Rossouw, Aiden Markram and David Miller are renowned batsman in the world cricket. I deserve that they will perform well in this ODI cricket.

South Africa bat first and gave an excellent target of 249 runs 4 wickets (40 overs) great batting by David Miller, Heinrich Klaseen and qunitin de kock. India on other hand is not performing well balling and batting both sides.
All of their important players are not playing in this match seems like they are not taking these ODI's seriously.
Samson and Thakur done good job at the end and India fail to achieve this target in their 40 overs with lost this match by 9 runs Kagiso Rabada and Keshav Maharaj were economical in this chase with all others have some punishment from Indian specially Shamsi 89 from his 8 overs.
Well, I still like him as a batter and agreed with the "his attitude" issue but not in context of IPL saga (Riyan Parag vs Karun Nair) as i didn't hear anything about this. I guess it came down to match awareness and you don't expect this sort of thing from any professional cricketer.
Having said that despite all fuckery in the last match I don't buy the notion of fixing, as few here in the thread implying.

I am also not sure whether the match was fixed or not. But it definitely looked as if the Indians had no intent on winning the match. How can anyone justify the score of 24 runs after 10 runs, when a team is chasing and having a required run rate of more than 6 runs per over? The match was not important for India, but it was very significant for the South Africans, because right now they are not in a very comfortable position as far as the ODI World Cup Super League is concerned. Now their chances of remaining in top-8 have improved.
