Indian second string side showed they are up for the task in the 2nd match after going down in the first match after South Africa. India took a spin heavy approach, one cannot say that was the right way, but that was their best possible option from the squad they had. VVS Laxman hasn’t lost a series as a stand-in coach for India, it would be his greatest achievement to date if he manages to topple a full strength South African side.
IND vs SA: India to seal the series
South Africa’s direct qualification into the 50 over world cup depended on this series. They needed to whitewash India to be on a safe space but since that is out of the equation, the very least they could do is win the 3rd match and hope some results go their way to qualify directly for the world cup.
After a stunning batting performance in the first game, South Africa were all set to bat India out of the game in the 2nd match as well. The partnership between Aiden Markram and Reeza Hendricks looked all but dangerous to India, but two early wickets pulled them back and with some extraordinary death bowling by Mohammed Siraj, India managed to restrict South Africa to a total which was within their reach.
Who Will Win T20 World Cup 2022?
Indian batsmen are in good form, except Shikhar Dhawan, with their bowlers firing, it is expected that India will win the 3rd match of the series and compete their 3rd consecutive ODI series victory in a row. They had won their previous 2 ODI series, one against WI in WI and ENG in ENG.
Will Shikhar Dhawan step up?
India have so many youngsters lined up to take the place of big boys once they hang up their boots as far as ODIs are concerned. The senior players cannot afford to lose their form, mainly because age is not on their side, and the other factor is the numerous bright talents scoring buckets of runs and pushing hard for a place in the side. This game could very well be the last chance for Shikhar Dhawan to show what he is capable of.
