Team News:

India:

Shikhar Dhawan-led India failed to hold their nerves in the first encounter as they suffered a defeat in a close game on Thursday. The game was held in 40 overs per side with rain affecting the play before. India restricted the visitors to 249 in respective 40 overs. Except for Thakur, every bowler was punished by the Protea's batting unit. Thakur took two wickets while Bishnoi and Kuldeep took one each.

However, India then failed to chase down 250 as Sanju Samson's unbeaten inning of 86 went in vain. Vice-captain Shreyas Iyer also smashed a fifty. Now, Dhawan and his men will be looking to take a bold step forward to level the series here at JSCA Stadium, Ranchi.
