The first ODI between India and South Africa ended in a thriller. The focus would now move to Ranchi where the second game will take place on October 9th. Here, we look at the pitch report of JSCA International Stadium Complex and the weather conditions in Ranchi for IND vs SA 2022.
At one point, it looked really difficult for India to chase the target. However, a brilliant show by Sanju Samson, in the end, brought the hosts close to the target. The penultimate over did not go in the desired route and hence, India lost the game. Fixing the issues in the top order will be the main priority for the Indians.
South Africa, after losing the T20I series, will be keen to win the ODI series. They have a good chance, especially with the batting line-up of India being inexperienced. If they win the ODI campaign, it will help the Proteas with some much-needed confidence ahead of the T20 World Cup.
