IND vs SA 2nd ODI Weather and Pitch Report: India will lock horns with South Africa for the second ODI in Raipur on Wednesday. The hosts are entering this match after winning the intense first match by 17 runs, where star batter Virat Kohli had smashed a match-winning knock of 135 runs and helped the team post a mammoth target of 349 runs, and the bowlers then successfully defended this target. The visitors, too, had put up a fight as they had scored 332 runs, and now they will try to bounce back in this series.
The momentum is on the KL Rahul-led side as they are riding high on confidence and have depth in their batting attack. They will aim to clinch the series, which will be held in Ranchi. As far as the visitors are concerned, they will have a hard time stopping the Indian batters and bounce back after losing the match narrowly, and will try to level this series.
