MATCH PREDICTION: SA vs IND, 2ND ODI
Tomorrow India will be playing a tough game and must leave no stone unturned in order to win against South Africa at the Boland Park in Paarl.
After losing the first game by 31 runs, the KL Rahul-led side will be in a do-or-die situation and must leave no stone unturned to win. South Africa, on the other hand, will want to win.
Temba Bavuma and Rassie van der Dussen, both captains of the Proteas, smashed hundreds in the previous match and will aim to repeat their feats. India, on the other side, must overcome its middle-order difficulties in order to tie the series at 1-1.
