India go up against South Africa in the second ODI on Sunday, October 9, 2022, at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi from 1:30 PM IST (Indian Standard Time).
The Indian cricket team fell short of the target in the first ODI and their death bowling once again failed to rise to the occasion. Meanwhile, Deepak Chahar added to India’s recent injury woes as he will miss the rest of the series. Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer lived up to their potential with the bat in the game, both scoring half-centuries.
South Africa helped their cause to make the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 after winning the previous game. Quinton De Kock once again shone with the bat while Heinrich Klaasen and the revitalized David Miller helped the Proteas put up a commendable score. Kagiso Rabada’s two-fer and Tabraiz Shamsi’s three-fer helped the Proteas beat India by nine runs at Lucknow.

India top picks and players to watch out for 2nd ODI vs South Africa
Shreyas Iyer: The Indian vice-captain counter-attacked the Proteas bowlers on a difficult pitch in the first match of the series. Iyer scored 50 runs off 37 balls to bring India back into the run chase. Iyer is the third-highest run-getter for India in ODIs this year.
Kuldeep Yadav: The 27-year-old left-arm wrist spinner bowled economically in the first ODI and picked up the wicket of Aiden Markram with a ripping delivery. Kuldeep has four four-wicket hauls and one five-wicket haul in this format with his tally of 113 wickets in 70 matches. The conditions in Ranchi will assist the spinners and Kuldeep could be a handful for the Proteas batters.
South Africa top picks and players to watch out for 2nd ODI vs India
Quinton de Kock: After a disappointing first T20I vs India, De Kock bounced back with scores of 69* and 68 in the final two games. The Proteas wicketkeeper batter scored 48 runs in the first ODI on a difficult pitch against the new ball. De Kock averages 46.20 with the bat in this format, while making 17 centuries and 29 half-centuries.
Kagiso Rabada: The 27-year-old pacer curtailed the Indian top-order batters with the new ball in the previous game. Rabada has picked up 19 wickets in 13 matches against India in this format at an economy rate of 5.03. Rabada is also capable of hitting the long ball in the death overs. He will once again be a threat to the Indian team, especially with the new ball.
India vs South Africa 2nd ODI prediction
The Indian cricket team were second best for the most part of the run chase in the first ODI. However, the form of Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson with the bat will hand India the much-needed impetus at Ranchi.
South Africa were clinical with the new ball and in the death overs with the bat in the last game. They are a more experienced international outfit compared to the current Indian team and the Proteas’ recent record in this fixture will give them the edge in the second ODI.
