South Africa beat India by 7 wickets in the second ODI and seal the ODI series by 2-0 on Friday. The final ODI match to be played in Cape Town on Sunday.
Earlier, India made 287/6 against South Africa in the second ODI. Rishabh Pant top-scored for India with 85 off 71 balls while skipper K L Rahul made 55 off 79 balls. Shardul Thakur contributed with an unbeaten 38-ball 40 towards the end of the innings.
South Africa have chased down this total with ease and have carried the momentum they gained in the Test series into this ODI series. India will be disappointed with their effort with the ball especially after a decent performance with the bat earlier in the day. Indian spinners have been outbowled by the South African spinners in both the games and as a result, India have been beaten comprehensively in this ODI series.
Except Jasprit Bumrah no one showed any resistance as the likes of Quinton de Kock and Janneman Malan went about their business. It was an abject surrender and raised serious questions on KL Rahul the captain, who instead of rallying his troops went mum in a crisis.
