South Africa will be looking to stay alive in their three-game ODI series with India when the two sides meet at St George’s Oval in Gqeberha. The Proteas were decimated in the first match, bundled out for a paltry 116. They never were in the contest courtesy of a brilliant bowling spell from Indian pacers Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan. Although the morale of the squad would have taken a hit with the manner of defeat, the South Africans have been generally world-class this year and will be hoping to recover from this loss. Visiting Indians hardly put a foot wrong in the last game but there is no room for complacency at the highest level. South Africa versus India will be telecasted on the Star Sports network and streamed on the Disney+ Hotstar app from 4:30 pm IST.

Reeza Hendricks has failed to replicate his T20 form in ODI cricket, which is a worry for the Proteas at the top of the order. With Quinton de Kock no longer an active international cricketer, the onus is on Reeza Hendricks to step up and be counted. Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller all failed miserably in the last game and this is where the home side will need to improve considerably.
Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan needed little effort from the other bowlers to annihilate the opposition batting unit. The duo will fancy themselves to have another proper crack at the South African side in the second game. Sai Sudarshan scored a fifty on debut which was special for the youngster. Expect the visitors to stick to the same playing eleven for this evening’s encounter.
