Cricket Live Score: India vs South Africa (Ind v SA) 2nd ODI, Ranchi

South Africa won the toss and chose to bat against India in the second One Day International match being played at Ranchi on Sunday, October 9, 2022.

India will chase for the second straight match. Regular skipper Temba Bavuma, as well as left-arm wrist-spinner Tabraiz Shamsi, were both ruled out of action after suffering mild infection.

Bavuma has only played four matches since returning from an elbow wound that sidelined him for three months, scoring 11 runs in total.

Reeza Hendricks, who has not played a match on this tour despite scoring four T20I fifties in a row in England, was taken in Bavuma’s No. 3 spot while left-arm spinner Bjorn Fortuin replaced Shamsi.

South Africa stuck to their plan of having only one allrounder in the XI, with Wayne Parnell, picking Andile Phehlukwayo. They also left out Lungi Ngidi, with Anrich Nortje arriving in.

India made two modifications in a match they have to win to keep the series alive. Washington Sundar, who was brought into the team as a substitute for the injured Deepak Chahar, instantly found a place in the XI.
