Team India will look to seal the series when they take on South Africa in the 2nd ODI on December 19th (Tuesday) at the St. George's Park in Gqeberha. The Men in Blue won the first ODI at the Wanderers on Sunday in style by 8 wickets as the Proteas suffered a batting collapse.
Team India left the South African batters with no answers as Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan ripped into their line-up. Arshdeep, who had claimed no wickets, claimed 5 in the game, dismissing the likes of Reeza Hendricks, Tony de Zorzi, Rassie van der Dussen, Heinrich Klaasen, and Andile Phehlukwayo. Later, debutant B Sai Sudharsan slammed a half-century to drive the tourists home by 8 wickets.
South Africa will be desperate to address their batting issues as two out of top 5 registered ducks, with Phelukwayo top-scoring with 35. With the hosts lacking their first-choice bowlers, they face a challenge to challenge an in-form Indian batting line-up.
