Meanwhile, for the visitors, it's a bad day for them as they failed to defend despite having a good total on the board. Skipper Bavuma didn't play while Maharaj captained the side in absence of the former. However, a few positive things to take from the second game is the innings of Reeza Hendricks and Aiden Markram. Both of them scored half-centuries to help the Proteas to get past 275.

The main concern was Proteas bowling which failed to defend the total. Rabada failed to take wickets in crucial times while Nortje was punished by Ishan Kishan several times. Rabada, Parnell, and Fortuin took one wicket each but that wasn't enough to restrict the home side to chase down the target. Now, the visitors will be looking to bounce back here in Delhi and clinch the ODI series and make it 1-1 as they previously lost the T20I series.
