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.

Guess you were wrong here. Anything under 300 is hardly competitive these days in the ODI format which is why I expected India to win comfortably which is what happened at the end of the day.

Iyer and Kishan were incredible together. I felt sad that Kishan missed on a well deserved century, but 93 runs is still a lot. On the other hand, Iyer scoring a century despite cramps was epic.

South Africa are under pressure now due to their direct qualification scenario for the 2023 World Cup. Am expecting India to win the final too.
Dew was there to create trouble for South African bowlers, they even changed a ball when it got out of control.

Having said that Iyer and Kishan batted beautifully, this is a good sign for India and it shows the depth of the bench considering the first 15 choices are in Australia and 3-4 players are injured.

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.
Differences can be seen but I am fascinated by the partnership between the two cricketers. The effort shown by both of them to stay on the pitch in ODI format is really appreciable. Their playing attitude today looks like they may have both come up with a plan to finish the game. Overall I consider both of them deserve thanks of today's match.
ODI matches were quite interesting to watch when teams play good cricket and there is good chasing. In today's match there is good batting from South Africa. Followed is the innings of India, in which Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer made good winning partnership. Shreyas Iyer have recorded century, Ishan Kishan missed the century and Sanju Samson have made some beautiful shots. For all the discussion that stated the first ODI to be a fix have come to an end with the 7 wicket win.

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.

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 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.
300 runs does not seem like a big target for India. Even if South Africa score 300 runs, India will try their best to win today's match. If Shikhar Dhawan can get a good start then India will have more chances to win today's match. If they can win today the series will alive. On the other hand, Africa also did not do well in T20, so they will try hard to win this ODI series.
I think if India can bat well then they will win this match. If Indian good players can play good game in this match then it will be good for India. And if Indian players can't bat well then many ties to win the match.  Bharot will suffer. However, the runs that have been made will be a very tough fight between the two teams.
I was at first in the impression that South Africa won't be able to reach 200+ runs. However they did go beyond my expectations and scored 279 runs. The target doesn't seems difficult but it can if India losses early wickets. I eager to watch Shubman Gill bat in this match. This guys has a lot of talent but lack the experience.

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 Huh
