IND vs SA 2nd ODI Highlights: Shreyas Iyer hits century, drives India to a series levelling win

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE innings summary:
Ishan Kishan on his match-winning knock: Feeling good, it’s 1-1, so very excited to play the decider at Delhi. Really happy with the way we contributed to the team. It is my home ground, there were too many people watching. When I was fielding they were asking me to get a hundred today, but unfortunately, I missed it. No worries, I’m just happy that my team won the game today and maybe in the next game I will give my best and make my team win again. It’s difficult here sometimes, because I played so many matches in Ranchi, it is not easy for the new batters to score runs, so we were looking to play according to the merit of the ball and not to play any harsh shots. Nortje, Rabada are too quick, and sometimes the ball isn’t coming on properly and stopping a touch and the next ball it was coming really quick. So, I was planning to go for a pull shot if it was near my chest and not to play a pre-determined shot if the ball is not there. So I was just trying to put the ball in the gap and it went my way.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE innings summary:
A clinical win for the Indians as Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan have driven their side home with a brilliant partnership worth 161 runs for the second wicket. Ishan Kishan was holed in the deep trying to continue his six-hitting stint, but Iyer continued till the very end and scoring an unbeaten 113 – his highest score in ODIs to lead his side to a seven-wicket win! The third and final ODI at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi will have a lot to offer now with the series levelled at 1-1. Indians can take pride with the manner in which they have won the match, while it has been consistently termed as a second string side in the absence of all the big names.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
Shreyas Iyer, the chase hero for India tonight, hits the winning runs. And that has been sliced away through the backward point, the region where he has scored the most runs today!

India: 282/3 after 45.5 overs

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
Sanju Samson hits a cheeky four to start a new over from Anrich Nortje. A short delivery from the bowler and Samson dabs it as late as possible to steer it through the third man region for four runs. India just 2 runs away from win now.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
Century for Shreyas Iyer! A free-hit to his favour, Rabada bowls short but Iyer moves to the leg side, creates room for himself and plays it over the covers for four runs. Second century in ODIs for the right-hander, first at home! He is driving his team to a brilliant win here!

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
The crowd was cheering at the start of delivery with Shreyas Iyer on strike, but he moves away at the last moment. Kagiso Rabada’s effort is in vain. More drama before his century.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
Another cut shot by Shreyas Iyer, this time almost of the middle stump. Plays it left of the backward point and the ball races to the boundary for four runs. He is on 97 now. An amazing century loading in Ranchi.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
Two calm overs without boundaries. But the required rate is less than 5 runs per over currently. India will make sure to not take any risk after being in such an authoritative position!

India: 242/3 after 41 overs

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
The ball has been changed now. Dew the reason.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
Shreyas Iyer reacts on the very next delivery and cuts a short delivery through the backward point region for four runs!

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
Shreyas Iyer in trouble. Keshav Maharaj has gone for a review for an LBW decision. The umpire didn’t entertain the appeal and the ball seemed drifting down the leg side to the naked eye. 
No bat involved, a straight line on snicko as the ball passes the bat.
The ball has hit the back leg of Iyer.
Pitching – in line,

Impact – in line,

Wickets – missing!
The crowd reacts as Shreyas Iyer will continue.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
Shreyas Iyer seems to be cramping in humid conditions. He has been out in the middle for quite a while now, and he is feeling the heat. It will be worthwhile to see how long he can continue. The physio has been out twice in two overs to treat him. Remember, he was already out in the field for 50 overs in the first innings.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
South Africa were 204/3 after 37 overs.
India have managed to be well ahead on 220/3.

South Africa lost two wickets at such a stage that choked their run flow. Can their bowlers do something similar to India or will Iyer and Samson cruise the run-chase?

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
A short and wide delivery by Fortuin and Iyer has cut it right of the off stump, backward of point fielder for four runs! He has played the cut shot to produce some very good returns today.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
Just one run from that Keshav Maharaj over. South Africa will try to build some pressure after Kishan’s wicket, but India are in a dominating position here to feel any pressure.

India: 211/3 after 36 overs

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores, Ishan Kishan departs:
Ishan Kishan departs after an incredible innings. And Bjorn Fotuin has his maiden international wicket. A short delivery, Kishan trying to continue his hitting stint, but shovels it to the deep mid-wicket fielder. He is livid with himself, sits on the pitch for a while before heading back. India lose their third wicket, but Kishan has played his part.

Ishan Kishan 93(84) c Reeza Hendricks b Bjorn Fortuin

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
Six more for Ishan Kishan! Just over the deep square-leg fielder! Once again a short delivery, outside off stump by Anrich Nortje and Kishan has swivelled it well across the leg side. He is on 92* now and this is his highest score in the Indian colours in international cricket!

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
Ishan Kishan has been injured on the last delivery from Rabada of the 33rd over. He tried to pull a short delivery, but Rabada had taken the pace away from that delivery. The ball hits Kishan’s elbow as he is early in his bat swing. He is treated by the physio but is fine to continue.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
A very good over by Kagiso Rabada, against the run of play. Concedes just one run, also creates a chance to dismiss Ishan Kishan but drops him in his follow-through on the fifth ball of the over.

India: 199/2 after 33 overs

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
The partnership between Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer has been amazing for India. Ishan Kishan has been a show of power with clean shots throughout the innings. Iyer, on the other hand, has played some elegant and proper text-book shots to cruise his way. At the moment, it seems like India are reaching home quite easily with these two batters!

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
Another mighty blow for six! Kishan has lit the stadium and is all over Nortje here. Clears his front leg, and smacks the ball again over the deep mid-wicket boundary for six runs! As crisp as a shot can be… Kishan can get a well-deserved century here!

Six! A six after a boundary for Kishan. He is showing his power here. Anrich Nortje is bowling at express speed and Kishan has hoicked it over the mid-wicket region for a huge six! The crowd at JSCA Stadium has gone wild….

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
Ishan Kishan, how good a shot was that! Was it a pull or a heave? Short delivery and he lofts it on the leg side – one bounce and over the ropes for four runs.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
Shreyas Iyer is batting in a nonchalant manner here. A beautiful shot through the backward point – cuts a short delivery off the back foot. The fielder dives to his right, but has no time to stop it.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
Back-to-back boundaries in the 30th over for Shreyas Iyer! The first one, driven down the ground beautifully through the mid-off region. The very next ball, he lofts a wide delivery on the off side, over the mid-off to bag consecutive boundaries.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
11 runs from that Rabada over. What will Keshav Maharaj do now? These two have looked too good with the bat and don’t seem to lose their wickets any time earlier.

India: 167/2 after 29 overs

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
Ishan Kishan is showing his class now. Maharaj sends in Kagiso Rabada to get a breakthrough, but Kishan has pulled him for a brilliant four. A short delivery outside off stump, Kishan gets on top of it and pulls it well through the mid-wicket region. It was also a no-ball giving a free-hit to Kishan, but he can bag only a couple of the free-hit.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
A massive six by Ishan Kishan! Comes down the track and hits straight back over long off for a huge six! The ball has disappeared in the stands. That’s fourth six of the evening for the left-hander!

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:

India: 138/2 after 25 overs

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
Shreyas Iyer has decided that he will not allow Aiden Markram to settle. Markram starts his second over and Iyer straight away uses his feet, comes down the track, and lofts the ball over wide mid-on for four runs!

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
Shreyas Iyer is back into the act and hitting boundaries. The Indian batters are dealing the spinners with quite ease. Another short delivery outside off stump and Iyer cuts it well through the backward point region. Runs have started to flow and India’s run rate has jumped to 5.35 now!

India: 111/2 after 21 overs

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
A fine over by Anrich Nortje. He is bowling fast and testing the batters with real short stuff. And Ishan Kishan has been very good in leaving the short deliveries. Just two runs of that over.

India: 96/2 after 20 overs

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:
Another very good shot by Ishan Kishan on the leg side – the ball was racing away for four runs, but Kagiso Rabada, being as athletic as he is, runs to his left from long-on and dives to stop the ball ahead of the boundary. Saves three runs for his team.

India: 94/2 after 19 overs

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:

Aiden Markram has been brilliant at backward point. He has stopped several crucial runs for his team, stopping some backfoot punches by Ishan Kishan in the 18th over. The players have now taken a drinks break. Boundaries have dried up, but India should not mind it.

India: 85/2 after 18 overs

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:

A good start by Keshav Maharaj. Continues to tie the Indian batters. Even they are not looking to risk their wickets here. Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan both ticking the scoreboard with singles at the moment.

India: 82/2 after 17 overs

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:

Alright, Nortje is banging the pitch hard with more than 140 Kmph deliveries! Another tidy over for South Africa. India will look to build a steady partnership here after having a good start in the powerplay. They are playing at almost 5 runs per over. Keshav Maharaj now brings himself into the attack.

India: 79/2 after 16 overs

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:

India have slowed down a bit in the last two overs. Brilliant stuff in the field by South Africans too, as they are diving on practice pitches to stop runs. Just three runs off last two overs.

India: 75/2 after 15 overs

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:

Ishan Kishan now gets into the act with a fine shot. Opens the face of the bat and guides it wide of the wicket-keeper for four runs.

Shreyas Iyer is making batting look so easy here, Back-to-back boundaries off Anrich Nortje’s first over!
The first one offering width outside the off stump and Iyer cuts it well through the third man region.

The next driven beautifully through the covers off a full-length delivery. Marco Jansen running and diving in hard to save, but doesn’t help.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:

Shubman Gill is gone. He was looking so good, and that is his wicket against run of play. A full delivery, keeping low. Gill played it on the up, straight back to the bowler. And Kagiso Rabada takes a brilliant return catch, bending down to as low as his ankles. Shubman Gill 28(26) c and b Kagiso Rabada

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:

Shubman Gill is looking in sublime touch. Greets Rabada with a boundary early on in his over. In-swinging delivery, coming on the thighs of the Gill, and the batter glances it beautifully through the leg side. No fielder to stop the ball, as the ball races off the out-field.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:

Shikhar Dhawan is gone! Wayne Parnell has knocked the top of off stump. Dhawan came down the track, trying to smash the ball through the off side, but misses it completely. A good length delivery by Parnell, doesn’t make much movement and disturbs the timber. Indian have lost their skipper, early.

Shikhar Dhawan 13(20) b Wayne Parnell

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:

A very good over for India – the fifth over. 11 runs of that over, that included a six from Shikhar Dhawan. The Indian batters are picking up pace quite well after that maiden first over.

India: 26/0 after 5 overs

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:

Shikhar Dhawan finally gets a six! Comes down the track to a short delivery by Fortuin and heaves it over on the leg side between long on and deep mid-wicket. First boundary for Dhawan and that should settle his nerves. Excellent use of the feet as well there.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:

Shubman Gill looks in a good touch today, after losing himself early in the 1st ODI. A uppish delivery by Parnell and that was driven beautifully through the cover region. The fielder at short covers tried to dive and stop the ball, but in vain.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:

Shikhar Dhawan was almost out there on the third ball of the third over. Tries to play to go big over the deep mid-wicket, but doesn’t get enough on the bat. The ball lands just short of a diving Reeza Hendricks at the deep mid-wicket. The batters do run a single.

India: 11/0 after 3 overs

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:

Overthrows are always bonus runs for the batting side. A useless throw, back at the striker’s end by Fortuin. It disrupts the stumps, but the wicket keeper fails to collect it and the batters steal a quick single.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Scores:

A beautiful shot by Shubman Gill to get off the mark. Parnell starts off with a full-length delivery swinging into the legs of Gill, but he is sharp and glances it through the mid-wicket region for four runs!

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE action resumes:

Bjorn Fortuin starts with a maiden over. Indian batters will take some time to get going.
Wayne Parnell into the attack now.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE action resumes:

The South African fielders are out in the middle, discussing their tactics in a customary huddle. Indian openers Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill too are out and on the crease. The chase is about to resume, folks! It will be interesting to see how the openers face left-arm pace of Wayne Parnell. The Proteas also have Anrich Nortje today and he is going to breathe fire. But South Africa have opened with the left-arm spin of Bjorn Fortuin!

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Innings break:

Reeza Hendricks: Nice to get out there and get some time in the middle and contribute as well as I did. Obviously would have loved to score a century, but I will take the contribution at the end. Nice batting with Aiden, we knew that the partnership at that time was to set up a good innings. Unfortunately, both of us got out at the wrong time. We needed one of us to push hard and be there at the end. We would have posted a bit of a better score. We were thinking at least 285. 300 was definitely on the cards had one of us batted through (till the end). They bowled well at the end, not easy as it’s a tricky wicket, and not it will not be easy for the new batter coming in.

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Innings Summary:

An excellent effort by the Indian bowlers at the death has ensured that South Africa end well short of 300. The Proteas could score only 57 runs in the last 10 overs after that twin breakthrough of Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen. The duo threatened to take the bowlers to cleaners, but Indian spinners dismissed them in back-to-back overs and South Africa could never come back from the setback. Even David Miller could not get going as he scored 35 off 34 deliveries, scoring only at run-a-ball.

India’s run chase in a while. But the surface will not be easy to bat on, considering the humid conditions. If dew plays a role, it will surely assist India. Otherwise, we are in for a mouth-watering chase!

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Cricket Score:

End of the innings with another good delivery for India. The batters will sneak with a leg bye, but India will not mind that run. Excellent stuff by Indian bowlers at the death as they have restricted South Africa for 278, especially after they seemed to cross the 300-run mark easily at one stage.

South Africa 278/7 in 50 overs

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Cricket Score:

Mohammed Siraj has knocked the off stump of Keshav Maharaj with a perfect fast-bowler delivery. Just one ball left in the innings now, and Siraj has been excellent. That was slow, straight, and on good length. Maharaj tried a blind heave, but the ball was right on target and didn’t miss the off-stump. Siraj claims his third wicket. Keshav Maharaj 5(13) b Siraj

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Cricket Score:

Back-to-back boundaries for David Miller to end the 49th over. A short of length delivery in Miller’s arc and he swivels it very well through the leg side between deep square leg and deep mid-wicket. Some runs for the Proteas before the innings ends.

South Africa 275/6 in 49 overs

India vs South Africa ODI LIVE Cricket Score:

Beautiful shot by David Miller. Shardul Thakur tries to go for a full delivery, but its a low full toss and Miller smack it over Thakur’s head. And the ball has raced away for four runs. A boundary of the bat after 41 deliveries for South Africa.

India vs South Africa LIVE Cricket Score:

A wierd, wierd boundary of an overthrow. There was no bat involved. The ball went straight to Sanju Samson. Samson passes the ball back to Siraj and he takes a shy at the non-striker’s stumps where Miller was out of the crease. The ball was no closer to the stumps, and raced away to the boundary down the ground. Four bonus runs for South Africa and Siraj has obliged with a boundary when it had dried up.

India vs South Africa LIVE Cricket Score:

Excellent stuff by Shardul Thakur towards the end of that over. India reviewed for a caught behind on the penultimate delivery of the over. The wicket-keeper was excited and the captain obliged him. But the ultra edge showed no bat involved and Miller stays not out.

South Africa 257/6 in 47 overs

India vs South Africa LIVE Cricket Score, Wayne Parnell OUT

Wayne Parnell has been dismissed. He tried to go for a maximum on the off side, but could only reach the long off fielder. Shreyas Iyer takes a regulation catch in the deep and throws the ball back as if it was casual stuff for him. The boundaries have dried up and that would surely increase the pressure on the batters. Parnell definitely a victim of death-over pressure.

Wayne Parnell 16 (22) c Shreyas Iyer b Shardul Thakur

India vs South Africa LIVE Cricket Score
Another tidy over for India as the Proteas are not allowed to unleash at the death. Just four runs of that Mohammed Siraj’s over.

South Africa 256/5 in 46 overs

India vs South Africa LIVE Cricket Score
David Miller and Wayne Parnell have taken their time to set on the crease and have added 35 runs so far for the sixth wicket in seven overs. With five overs left to go in South Africa’s innings, will Indian bowlers stop Miller from going for the big ones? South Africa 252/5 in 45 overs

India vs South Africa LIVE Cricket Score

Siraj has been a treat to watch today, whether it’s while bowling or fielding

WHAT. A. CATCH! 👍 👍@mdsirajofficial takes a stunner to dismiss Heinrich Klaasen. 👌 👌 #TeamIndia

India vs South Africa LIVE Cricket Score

Two new batters in Wayne Parnell and David Miller look to take South Africa past 300 runs and with an in-form Miller that could be a possibility as Dhawan looks to complete the overs of his spinners. South Africa 240/5 in 43 overs

India vs South Africa LIVE Cricket Score
What a turn of events for India! Washington Sundar had a set Aiden Markram (79) taken at extra cover by captain Shikhar Dhawan as the South African made hash off an easy delivery by hitting it straight to the fielder. The anger is quite visible on Markram face while walking back to the pavilion. Hard to believe that South Africans were cruising to a big total three deliveries ago. South Africa 215/5 in 38.2 overs

India vs South Africa LIVE Cricket Score
Kuldeep Yadav has the last laugh over Klassen as the left-arm wrist spinner dismisses the in-form batter for 30 with an attempted googly on the stumps. The ball didn’t turn though but was good enough for Klassen to find no room off his crease as he skewed it to Siraj in no man’s land. The pacer actually had to cover a lot of ground as he came running from the long-on to complete a good catch. South Africa 215/4 in 38 overs

India vs South Africa LIVE Cricket Score
Klassen certainly requires no introduction to the pitch as he uses the pace provided by Avesh Khan to hit it back the length over mid-wicket. The boundary also brings up 200 runs for visitors. South Africa 202/3 in 36.2 overs

India vs South Africa LIVE Cricket Score
What a spell by Siraj! Just two runs and a wicket in the last two overs. His last 12 deliveries: 1, W, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 South Africa 181/3 in 34 overs

India vs South Africa LIVE Cricket Score
In-form Heinrich Klaasen is the new man in the middle with set Markram. So far this pitch has been difficult for a new batter to come and score from the start. Will that be the case for the last match hero? He responds with a boundary off the last ball of the 33rd over bowled by Washington. 11 runs came off the over as Markram also cleared the boundary earlier. South Africa 180/3 in 33 overs

India vs South Africa LIVE Cricket Score
Siraj provides the breakthrough! The pacer picks his second wicket of the day and another dangerman in Reeza Hendricks, who departs after scoring 74 (76). Siraj bowled a  length delivery outside the off stump and the right-handed batter couldn’t jab it well enough to Shahbaz Ahmed at deep square leg. The third wicket stand ends at 129 runs. South Africa 169/3 in 31.2 overs

India vs South Africa LIVE Cricket Score
Shardul Thakur is introduced to attack as India’s sixth bowler and gives away 13 runs in his first two overs, including a boundary. Markram, who drive a boundary through the mid-off, is certainly at comfort against pacers as Siraj bowled the last over from the other end. The 50-run stand also comes up between Markram and Hendricks. South Africa 91/2 in 20 overs

India vs South Africa LIVE Cricket Score
Interesting battle in the middle between Kuldeep Yadav and Aiden Markram.Markram barely survived an lbw DRS call due to umpire’s call on wicket impact. It’s clear that the burly South African is not able to read the Chinaman. Just two runs of the over South Africa 72/2 in 17 overs

India vs South Africa LIVE Cricket Score
South Africa hits the first boundary in 25 deliveries as pace returns to the bowling attack. Poor delivery by Mohammed Siraj was flicked towards the fine leg for a four by Hendricks. In total, 10 runs come from the over; the most expensive over so far. South Africa 70/2 in 16 overs

India vs South Africa LIVE Cricket Score
It’s all left-arm spin attack by India at the moment as Shahbaz is joined by Kuldeep Yadav from the other end during the second powerplay. Both Markram and Hendricks are struggling to find gaps for boundaries. South Africa 57/2 in 14 overs

An unforgettable moment for Shahbaz Ahmed that only tasted sweeter waiting for the third umpire call

Pitch report: “It isn’t the biggest ground, 60 meter boundaries and even the straight boundary isn’t very big. There’s no grass on this surface, which looks firm and seems a typical surface. A few cracks but there won’t be a lot of grip, instead could be a lot more skid,” say Deep Dasgupta and Ajit Agarkar.
