India vs South Africa, 2nd ODI: Probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, match prediction and live streaming details

After a thumping defeat in the first game, India will hope to bounce back when they lock horns with South Africa in the second ODI on Sunday, October 9. The JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi will host this all-important fixture.

The hosts failed to chase down 240 runs in a rain-curtailed 40-over game in Lucknow on Thursday, October 6. Sanju Samson (86*) and Shreyas Iyer (50) played their parts but India fell nine runs short as the top-order batters ate up too many deliveries in the initial overs.

South Africa, on the other hand, were rocked at the start by Mohammed Siraj, who was unplayable with the new ball. However, they slowly revived and came back into the game, thanks to an unbeaten 139-run stand between David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen.

The bowlers also played their part in defending the total. Keshav Maharaj was the pick of the bowlers for the Proteas, returning with figures of 1/23 in his eight overs.
