The two teams only have one day to regroup, reload and head to the playing ground again tomorrow. Will it be enough time for India to recover from the defeat in the first ODI or will South Africa make it 2-0 and secure a series win?
Ongama Gcwabe & Bet Central provide you with three bets to take for the second ODI at Boland Park.
Betting Preview
Well, India looked a shadow of themselves in the first ODI; they were quiet on the field and were quick to drop their heads when Temba and Rassie piled on the runs. Word making rounds is that they miss their captain, Virat Kohli. Nonetheless, team India has the ability to bounce back and level the series.
On the other hand, Bavuma’s men are on a high, they look like a team at the early stages of their upward trajectory, runs are coming and wickets are in abundance. The energy in the field is great and they have an in-form top six batters, yes maybe not Aiden, but we all know how good a top-six we have when Markram gets going and contributes to the team as well.
The second ODI tilts to the South Africa side, they’re more likely to go 2-0 up and win the series because they have momentum.
I back Janneman Malan and Quinton de Kock to come good with a 100-run opening partnership in the second game. Bavuma looks too good not to at least make a fifty-plus score if he gets the opportunity. Lungi Ngidi might finish top-wicket taker for South Africa in the match.
