🏏SA vs India, 2nd ODI: St George's Park, Gqeberha 🏏 - Page 16

Disappointing batting effort from India. Yes, the surface is not a belter but it is certainly not a 211 kind of pitch. Sudharsan and Rahul showed that if you apply yourself then runs can be scored, but apart from those two none of the Indian batters were willing to battle it out. Most of them got starts but there was only one worthy partnership in the entire innings. Once that was broken the innings just fell apart. South Africa used the conditions perfectly. Burger set the tone by dismissing Gaikwad off the second ball of the innings. He was the standout bowler with 3/30 and was well aided by the others. The surface has some up and down bounce, some balls are bouncing while some are staying low, but the home team must be more familiar with the conditions and should fancy chasing this down. We'll be back soon..

Nandre Burger: Every time you play cricket you got to enjoy it, most enjoyable time for me. A short turnaround from the previous game so got to take the learnings from the previous game. Think it's a good wicket, two-paced and turn for Kesh, other than that it played well. Very confident of chasing this down.

Robin Minz goes to Titans for 3.6 crore

Comes in at a base price of 20 lakh. Oh, CSK started off right away. And Mumbai Indians have jumped in as well. CSK and Mumbai take it to 1 crore before Mumbai come in. And CSK can't bid anymore. To Mumbai then? Nope, Gujarat Titans come in at 1.4 crore and take it 2.8 crore and then SRH come in.

Finally, Minz goes to Titans for 3.6 crore

Reeza Hendricks and de Zorzi are at the crease. Reeza Hendricks is on strike. Mukesh Kumar will open the attack

0.4 Mukesh Kumar to de Zorzi, FOUR, no gully and third man is too wide. A short of length delivery outside off, de Zorzi punches and the thick outside-edge flies to where a gully would have been, third man is too wide to do anything

RSA: 5-0 after 1 overs

1.1 Arshdeep Singh to Reeza Hendricks, 1 run, a tough chance and Samson diving to his right can't get the outstretched right hand under the ball. A swinging yorker length delivery outside off, Reeza Hendricks plays a poor shot, trying to dig it out with an open face, Samson was going to his left and that meant he could not dive the other way to snaffle it. Otherwise he was well in the game

RSA: 9-0 after 2 overs

RSA: 13-0 after 3 overs

2.6 Mukesh Kumar to Reeza Hendricks, FOUR, between extra cover and long-off
