Injury-hit India hobble on in a mindless ODI series

After the 25 overs mark, South Africa are 122/5. The Hendricks-Markram partnership moves to 82 off 91 deliveries.
Sundar replaced Kuldeep but after two overs captain Shikhar Dhawan has went back to the left-arm chinaman. After another good 10-run over off Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep keeps the flow of runs in control giving only three in his fourth. 113/2 after 23 overs.
100 up for the Proteas. This has been a good partnership for the visitors, Markram and Hendricks have acclimatized quickly to the wicketa and have started taking on the Indian bowlers. A boundary each for the duo in Sundar's second over. 100/2 after 21 overs.
Shardul Thakur replaces Mohammed Siraj while Washington Sundar comes in for Kuldeep Yadav. All the fielders stationed behind the wicket for Shardul, what might that tell you about the wicket. Not one of those pitches where pacers can use the bounce to the their advantage. A late cut from Markram to finish the Sundar over with a boundary, 83/2 after 19 overs.

Good over for South Africa. Two boundaries come off it. Markram pulls on front foot at deep square leg and a delivery later, Reeza Hendricks flicks Siraj to beat fine leg. 10 off the over. South Africa, 70/2 after 16 overs.
It's been a perfect debut so far from Shahbaz Ahmed. He has kept it full and on the stumps on most occasions. That wicket of Malan was a reward for the same. Kudos to Dhawan for using him early on in a prolonged spell. Concedes only three in his sixth over. South Africa, 57/2 after 14 overs.
A deliberate flick in the air from Reeza Hendricks over deep mid wicket for four. Eight off Shahbaz's fifth over. Fifty up for the Proteas after 12 overs.

Shahbaz Ahmed strikes on debut!
Wow! In his fourth over as an India ODI player, Shahbaz wraps Janneman Malan leg before wicket. South Africa go two down in the powerplay. 40/2 after 10 overs.

Janneman Malan with back to back boundaries. Carves it up over point off the penultimate delivery, dissects the gap between mid wicket and mid on for another four off the last ball. 9 runs off the Avesh Khan over, South Africa, 33/1.
Lovely use of the feet from. Comes down the track and plays a nice drive through the wide mid-off region. (SA: 24/1)
Siraj digs in short to Hendricks. The batter on the back foot takes on the short ball and with his eye off from the ball smashes the pull along the carpet through square leg for a boundary. (SA: 19/1)
Siraj to Malan! Length ball outside off, Malan leans back, gets on the top of the bounce and punches it through the covers for a boundary. (SA: 14/1)
Shahbaz Ahmed is to bowl on his debut. What a day for the Indian all-rounder. He hails from Haryana, plays his for Bengal and represents Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League. (SA: 10/1)
Chopped it on! Quinton de Kock goes after a wide one but the ball comes off the inside edge and crashes into his stumps. Siraj strikes early for India. SA: (7/1)
What a way to start the innings. First up, a nice little half volley from Siraj and Quinton de Kock drives past the bowler for a delightful boundary. SA: (5/0)
South African openers Janemal Malan and Quinton de Kock are out in the middle. Mohammed Siraj with the new ball for India. All set for the second ODI. Here we go! SA: (0/0)
India XI: Shikhar Dhawan (c), Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Washington Sundar, Sanju Samson (wk), Shahbaz Ahmed, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Avesh Khan
South Africa XI: Reeza Hendricks, Quinton de Kock (wk), Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj (c), Janneman Malan, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Kagiso Rabada, Wayne Parnell, Bjorn Fortuin, Anrich Nortje
"We would have chased. I think there's gonna be dew in the second half and we want to take advantage of that. We have got 2 changes, Washington Sundar is in and Shahbaz Ahmed is making his debut instead of Ruturaj and Ravi Bishnoi."
"We will bat first. Looks like a good wicket. Hopefully, try to put some runs on the board and then restrict them. Three changes. Bavuma, Ngidi and Shamsi miss out as both of them weren't feeling good in the morning. Reeza Hendricks, Nortje and Fortuin come in. Hopefully, we utilize the conditions well and play better."
