South Africa vs India, 2nd ODI – Dafanews Match Preview

South Africa will aim to stay alive in the series when they take on India in the second ODI at St. George Park, Gqeberha on Tuesday. The Proteas were hammered by eight wickets in the opening game of the series as they were skittled out for only 116 runs.

In fact, India had also beaten South Africa by a mammoth margin of 243 runs in the World Cup and thus the last two matches between these two teams have been one-sided. We look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Current form for South Africa: L L W L W

South Africa would have been utterly disappointed with their mundane batting performance as they could not show any stomach for a fight in the opening game. Ergo, they would want to turn the tables and come up with a more collective batting show.

Current form for India: W L W W W

India was able to come up with a collective show as they delivered a resounding performance in the first game. Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan were able to deliver with the ball as they bagged five and four wickets respectively.

Head to Head: Matches: 92, Won by South Africa: 50, Won by India: 39, NR: 3.

South Africa holds the advantage in H2H against India.

Players to look out for: KL Rahul, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rinku Singh, Suryakumar Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Arshdeep Singh will hold the key for India.

Aiden Markram, Reeza Hendricks, Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, Heinrich Klaasen, Lizaad Williams, and Keshav Maharaj will be the crucial players for the Proteas.

India’s squad for ODIs: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sai Sudharsan, Tilak Varma, Rajat Patidar, Rinku Singh, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (C)(wk), Sanju Samson (wk), Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mukesh Kumar, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Deepak Chahar.
