Commentary :
0.0 : ... MATCH DAY ...
After a superb Test series, it is now time for the ODI series. India will be disappointed after losing that and the South Africans will be high on confidence after turning it around. The visitors will be looking for redemption under their new skipper, KL Rahul. South Africa on the other hand, will be hungry for another series win. This promises to be yet another cracking series. Toss in a while.
South Africa have not been in the best of forms in this format. They have lost more than they have won in recent times and this is going to be yet another stern test for them. They do have the quality to topple this Indian side but they will need to be at their best.
India on the other hand, are one of the best teams in the shorter format. Yes, there are quite a few new names in the squad but they are still a quality side. Can they get back to winning ways after losing the last two Tests? We shall find out soon.

Temba Bavuma, the South African skipper, is in for a chat. He says the wicket looks dry and it has been ready for some while and they want to make use of the conditions and he hopes the slow bowlers can make use of it later on. States the Test series win was a big achievement but it is a new challenge and they need to do well and adapt well. Informs that Jansen comes in and Lungi is also in.
KL Rahul, the Indian skipper joins for a word and says as a team they even they would've loved to bat first. States it looks dry and they have some quality spinners and if Bumrah and Kumar get early wickets, it could put pressure on them. Informs Chahal, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar come in and Iyer will he debuting, will bat as 4. Adds Virat has been their leader for a long time but he is still with them and he will help them out and they are excited about this game. States they want to give the boys a
PITCH REPORT – Dale Steyn says in the first innings it will skid on a little bit. Adds it is very hot and the wicket should get slow as the match progresses.
The game is set to begin. Both the teams come out to the middle and line up for their respective national anthems. It will be India's first followed by the hosts.

2.5 : Jasprit Bumrah to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! Perfect timing! Quinton de Kock gets the first boundary of his blade. Good length, outside off. Quinton de Kock hangs back and cuts it through point for a boundary. This was timed so well that the fielder had no chance to chase it down.

4.2 : Jasprit Bumrah to Janneman Malan, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Bumrah gets an early wicket and Malan walks back for a low score. Really good from Bumrah. He was getting the ball to come back in and also leave the batter. This time he gets it to leave him, it is fuller and around off. Malan is not sure about which way the ball is going, he is quite rooted to his crease and just pushes his bat ahead. It takes a faint edge and the keeper does the rest.

That is some recovery from the hosts! Let me remind you, the average first innings score here is around the 220-run mark and South Africa have finished around 80 runs above that so really don’t need to mention who the happier of the two sides will be. Had they been given this score at the toss, they would have surely taken it.
The start though wasn’t the best. They lost three just for the score of 68 and then, even run-scoring seemed difficult. However, then came the stand which turned the tide completely in South Africa’s favour. It was a mammoth 200-run partnership between Rassie van der Dussen and Temba Bavuma with both scoring tons. They counter-attacked and did so brilliantly. They did slow down though as they were nearing their tons or 300 looked on the cards but South Africa have a really good total on th
The Indian bowling was excellent for the first 20 overs. The new ball bowlers got it moving earlier on and caused issues and then the spinners got it to turn which caused problems. Post that though, they found it quite tough to contain the run flow. Thakur and Chahal did not have the best of days. Bumrah and Ashwin though were impressive but Rahul will be disappointed they could not capitalise on the advantage they had.
Rassie van der Dussen is in for a chat. He says, he feels really good. Their aim was to take the partnership going and Bavuma played a good anchoring innings which allowed him to play his innings. Mentions it is just about matching the intensity. Adds he has learned a lot in a year or two and says that has helped him a lot. Says there was a swing early on but as the ball got older they had several gaps to work with. Ends by saying, they are well above par and would hope to execute the plans wi
Now the target is a big one. The wicket is a touch slow but not a bad one to bat on. India do have the potential to chase this down. Also, in 2001, Tendulkar and Ganguly had scored twin hundreds for India against South Africa but South Africa managed to chase the total. Two South African batters did score tons here too, will this be gunned down? We will find out.
