India vs South Africa, Live Cricket Score, Today’s 2nd ODI Match: Aiden Markram collects the winning run! South Africa thrash India by seven wickets to gain an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, and it looks like the Indian team will be returning home from the tour empty-handed after all! Preview: India vs South Africa, 2nd ODI at Paarl: Live Streaming and Live Telecast of Ind vs SA 2nd ODI Cricket Match India take on South Africa in 2nd ODI at the Boland Park in Paarl. After the Test series loss, India didn’t get off to a good start in the ODI series as they were beaten in the first ODI in Paarl. The second match will again take place at the same venue and India would be looking to bounce back hard and draw level. India’s bowlers started off well after South Africa opted to bat in the first ODI and reduced the Proteas to 68/3 in the 18th over. However, captain Temba Bavuma and Rassie van der Dussen got together and stitched a match-turning partnership of 204 to propel South Africa to 296. India’s bowling in the middle overs was disappointing as they couldn’t find a way to break the stand and the spinners were put under pressure as van der Dussen employed sweeps and reverse sweeps to unsettle them. A much better middle overs performance is the need of the hour. Chasing the target, India got off to a decent start as Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul added 46 for the opening wicket. Dhawan played a good knock of 79 and then stitched a 92-run stand with Kohli (51). But then India lost their way and a middle-order collapse ensued. The likes of Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant and Venkatesh Iyer would be looking to step up and make amends this time around. South Africa, on the other hand, would be looking to seal another series. They have been riding high on confidence and it reflects in their body language as well. They would however expect more from the top order which failed in the last game. Markram’s form has been a concern. He struggled in the Test series as well. He would be looking to get back to his best. With India looking to bounce back and South Africa aiming to seal the series, we can expect a cracker. Here are all the details about the second ODI between South Africa and India. When will the second ODI between South Africa and India take place? The second ODI between India and South Africa will take place on 21 January 2022. What is the venue for the South Africa-India match? The match will take place at Boland Park, Paarl When will the match start? The match will begin at 2 pm IST.

India vs South Africa, Live Cricket Score, Today’s 2nd ODI Match: Aiden Markram collects the winning run! South Africa thrash India by seven wickets to gain an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, and it looks like the Indian team will be returning home from the tour empty-handed after all!
)
That brings us to the end of our coverage of the second one-dayer between South Africa and India at the Boland Park in Paarl, the Proteas outperforming KL Rahul and Co in all three departments for a second game running to clinch the series with a game to spare. What a time it is to be a South African cricket fan. After Elgar and Co’s heroic turnaround in the Tests, the Bavuma-led ODI side has absolutely bossed the two games so far. India will have to go back to the drawing board and make some wholesale changes, but that can wait until the tour is over. Till then, their only focus will be on signing off with a victory in the third and final game that takes place in Cape Town two days from now.
For now, this is Amit signing off, wishing you all good night!
After 48.1 overs,South Africa 288/3 ( Aiden Markram 37 , Rassie van der Dussen 37)
Aiden Markram collects the winning run! South Africa thrash India by seven wickets to gain an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, and it looks like the Indian team will be returning home from the tour empty-handed after all! SA 288/3
After 48 overs,South Africa 287/3 ( Aiden Markram 36 , Rassie van der Dussen 37)
Six off Bhuvi’s eighth over, including a brace to van der Dussen off the third delivery, as the scores are level at the end of this over with two overs left.
After 47 overs,South Africa 281/3 ( Aiden Markram 34 , Rassie van der Dussen 33)
Van der Dussen punches through the covers off the second ball, getting enough time to come back for a third as the equation comes down to less than 10 with more than three overs to spare. Leg bye added in the fourth delivery, followed by a single to RvDD off the fifth. Five off Bumrah’s final over as he signs off with excellent figures of 1/37. Credit to him and Chahal for giving the Indians a sliver of hope at a time when Malan and Bavuma were running away with the game. SA need another 7 off 18.
After 46 overs,South Africa 276/3 ( Aiden Markram 34 , Rassie van der Dussen 29)
Bhuvneshwar continues. Van der Dussen, meanwhile, cops a painful blow near the abdomen after Markram ends up hitting his partner while looking to drive the ball down the ground. A much better over from Bhuvi with four coming off it, including a double to Markram in the penultimate delivery. SA need 12 from 24.
After 45 overs,South Africa 272/3 ( Aiden Markram 31 , Rassie van der Dussen 28)
Bumrah returns for another burst, but perhaps it is a little too late for a rescue act now. Tidy stuff from the senior pacer as he gives away just two in his penultimate over, including a wide. SA need 16 off 30.
After 44 overs,South Africa 270/3 ( Aiden Markram 30 , Rassie van der Dussen 28)
Bhuvneshwar continues to leak runs aplenty as Markram smacks consecutive boundaries off his bowling to bring up the fifty stand with van der Dussen. South Africa inch closer to sealing the series with a game to spare, needing just 18 off 36 deliveries now.
After 43 overs,South Africa 258/3 ( Aiden Markram 21 , Rassie van der Dussen 25)
Ashwin bowls out his final over, conceding three singles along with a brace to Markram off the last delivery, as he finishes wicketless after conceding 68 runs. SA need 30 off 42 balls with 7 wickets in hand.
After 42 overs,South Africa 253/3 ( Aiden Markram 18 , Rassie van der Dussen 23)
Bhuvi replaces Venkatesh Iyer. Van der Dussen brings up the 250 for the visitors with a brace off the first delivery after guiding the ball through the covers. Him and Markram keep the scoreboard ticking as three singles are added to the total over the next five deliveries. Five from the over. South Africa need 35 from 48.
After 41 overs,India 220/5 ( Venkatesh Iyer 17 , Shardul Thakur 6)
Tidy over from Ashwin with just three singles coming off it, though wickets are what the visitors need if they are to somehow keep the series alive at the end of this game.
After 40 overs,South Africa 245/3 ( Aiden Markram 16 , Rassie van der Dussen 17)
Venkatesh Iyer brought back as well. Markram collects a brace off the first delivery, before adding to his boundary tally in the second as he places the ball out of short fine leg’s reach while guiding a back-of-length delivery going down leg. Couple of singles added to the total in the remaining deliveries. Van der Dussen and Markram have added 31 runs off just 26 deliveries for the fourth wicket, a partnership that has once again made the Proteas favourites to chase this down with ease. South Africa need just 43 to win in the remaining 10 overs with seven wickets in hand.
After 39 overs,South Africa 237/3 ( Aiden Markram 9 , Rassie van der Dussen 16)
Ravichandran Ashwin brought back, as Rahul decides to save a couple of Bumrah’s overs for now. Van der Dussen, meanwhile, gets going with a couple of boundaries off the off-spinner, reverse-paddling the first one through the vacant short third man region before punching the ball through the covers three balls later. 12 from the over. South Africa need 51 more to win from 66 deliveries.
After 38 overs,South Africa 225/3 ( Aiden Markram 8 , Rassie van der Dussen 5)
Markram restores some confidence for the hosts with a well-timed sweep in front of square at the start of this over. Keeps the scoreboard ticking with a single off the second. Van der Dussen drives through the cover region off the last delivery, coming back for a third. Eight off the over. SA need 63 off 72.
After 37 overs,South Africa 217/3 ( Aiden Markram 3 , Rassie van der Dussen 2)
Skipper Rahul decides to move to short mid on in this over as the Indians look to attack with two new faces at the centre. Just two singles from Bumrah’s eighth. One wonders if Rahul will have him bowl his remaining overs right away, or save them for later. Six runs and two wickets in the last three overs. South Africa need 71 to win from 78 balls.
After 36 overs,South Africa 215/3 ( Aiden Markram 2 , Rassie van der Dussen 1)
The Indians suddenly have hope again, as Chahal strikes in the very next over after Bumrah removes Malan, collecting a return catch off his bowling to dismiss Bavuma on 35. With two new batters in the crease in Markram and van der Dussen, the Indians suddenly have the chance to dry up the runs, build up pressure and dictate terms in the next few overs.
OUT! One wicket leads to another, as Bavuma ends up offering Chahal the simplest of catches off his own bowling. The SA skipper was looking to play this in front of square on the leg side, but ended up getting a thick leading edge due to the extra turn. SA 214/3
Bavuma c and b Chahal 35(36)
After 35 overs,South Africa 213/2 ( Temba Bavuma (C) 35 , Aiden Markram 1)
Excellent over from Bumrah against the run of play, with just two singles coming from it along with the dismissal of Malan in the fourth delivery as the well-set opener falls short of his fourth ODI ton by just nine runs. The pace spearhead has been a real asset today for the visitors.
BOWLED! Jasprit Bumrah gives the visitors a reason to smile while denying Janneman Malan a well-deserved hundred. Cramps the batter for room with a delivery that angles in, beats his defence and deflects off his glove onto the middle stump. SA 212/2
Malan b Bumrah 91(108)
After 34 overs,South Africa 211/1 ( Janneman Malan 91 , Temba Bavuma (C) 34)
Thakur continues from the other end. Malan steers the ball through point off the second delivery to bring up the 200 for the Proteas, before collecting a single. Bavuma then moves into the 30s with back-to-back boundaries, before collecting a single to keep the strike. 14 off the over. This is South Africa’s game to lose now.
After 33 overs,South Africa 197/1 ( Janneman Malan 86 , Temba Bavuma (C) 25)
Final throw of the dice for the Indians (or is it too soon to say that?) as Rahul turns to Bumrah after the drinks interval. The pace spearhead, who has been tidy so far today, starts off his new spell with a tight over, giving away just one off it. Bavuma gets an inside edge in the last delivery, but the ball lands just short of Pant’s gloves.
After 32 overs,South Africa 196/1 ( Janneman Malan 85 , Temba Bavuma (C) 25)
Thakur replaces Venkatesh, and starts his new spell with a short delivery going down leg that Malan redirects towards fine leg to collect his seventh boundary and move into the 80s. Collects a single off the second, with Bavuma clipping the ball through square leg off the third for a brace. Single off the fourth and fifth deliveries, before Thakur ends the over with a dot. Nine from the over. Second drinks interval announced. The series is fast slipping out of India’s grasp. They need a breakthrough now if they are to take this to a decider on Sunday.
After 31 overs,South Africa 187/1 ( Janneman Malan 79 , Temba Bavuma (C) 22)
Seven off Chahal’s eighth over, including a boundary to Malan off the first delivery that brings up the fifty partnership for the second wicket, South Africa need another 101 to win from 114 deliveries with nine wickets in hand. The chase is looking too easy for the Proteas at the moment, though it can get a little tricky if a couple of wickets were to fall at this stage.
After 30 overs,South Africa 180/1 ( Janneman Malan 73 , Temba Bavuma (C) 21)
Four off Venkatesh’s fourth over, including a brace off the last ball as Bavuma tucks the ball through the square leg region. Another 20 overs to go. South Africa need another 108 to seal the series today.
After 29 overs,South Africa 176/1 ( Janneman Malan 72 , Temba Bavuma (C) 18)
Malan gets a thick top-edge in the second delivery, which could’ve been an easy catch had Rahul placed a fielder in the backward square leg/short fine region. Instead, it lands safely and allows the well-set opener a single. Three runs from the over.
After 28 overs,South Africa 173/1 ( Janneman Malan 71 , Temba Bavuma (C) 16)
Venkatesh Iyer continues from the other end. Malan and Bavuma, meanwhile, continue to rotate the strike through singles, with six of them coming in this over. Partnership between the two, meanwhile, is worth 41.
After 27 overs,South Africa 167/1 ( Janneman Malan 68 , Temba Bavuma (C) 13)
Chahal returns for another spell in place of Ashwin. Three singles collected in the first five deliveries, before the final delivery turns sharply away from Bavuma, beating both bat and the keeper’s gloves to run away for four byes. There was little Dhawan, the lone slip fielder standing pretty wide, could’ve done anything about it.
After 26 overs,South Africa 160/1 ( Janneman Malan 66 , Temba Bavuma (C) 12)
FOUR! Scythed over the midwicket region by Malan off a length delivery from Venkatesh. Just one bounce before it goes over the rope. Three singles added to the score after the boundary. Seven from the over.
After 25 overs,South Africa 153/1 ( Janneman Malan 60 , Temba Bavuma (C) 11)
Single off each of the first four deliveries. Ashwin switches to round the wicket before the penultimate delivery, in which Bavuma plays a paddle sweep, placing it out of short fine’s reach, to move to double figures while bringing up the 150 for the Proteas.
After 24 overs,South Africa 145/1 ( Janneman Malan 58 , Temba Bavuma (C) 5)
Venkatesh Iyer brought into the attack for the first time today, with Pant walking up to the stumps to his medium-pace. Iyer starts off on a tidy note with three singles coming from the over.
After 23 overs,South Africa 142/1 ( Janneman Malan 57 , Temba Bavuma (C) 3)
SIX! Smoked over deep midwicket off a long hop from Ashwin in the second delivery. Just when the Indians are starting to get confident after the fall of de Kock’s wicket, Malan reminds them of the threat that his presence at the crease entails. Four runs collected of the remaining four deliveries, including a brace to new batter Bavuma off the fourth ball as the South African skipper opens his account.
After 22 overs,South Africa 132/1 ( Janneman Malan 50 , Temba Bavuma (C) 0)
Four runs and a wicket from Thakur’s third over, with Malan bringing up his third ODI fifty with a single off the penultimate delivery, before Thakur traps de Kock LBW in the last delivery, though the Indians have to make use of their remaining review after it is originally ruled not out.
OUT! Shardul Thakur with the breakthrough, as De Kock is trapped leg-before in front of off and middle after missing a full toss that swings a long way back inside. India finally have their breakthrough after waiting for more than 20 overs. Umpire Marais Erasmus originally ruled it not out, and the Indians decide to use their last remaining review. And a stone dead decision it is, with the ball crashing at the base of the stumps. SA 132/1
De Kock LBW Thakur 78(66)
After 21 overs,South Africa 128/0 ( Janneman Malan 49 , Quinton de Kock (W) 77)
Malan guides the ball towards fine leg off the second delivery, coming back for a second. Single off each of the next four deliveries. Six from the over.
After 20 overs,South Africa 122/0 ( Janneman Malan 45 , Quinton de Kock (W) 75)
Shardul continues. He begins the over with three dots before Malan collects a single. Just the one run off the over.
