IND vs SA 2nd ODI: David Miller looks to help proteas win series in Ranchi

After suffering a loss in the opening ODI despite Sanju Samson's heroics, Team India will look to keep the ODI series alive by winning the second match in Ranchi. Ahead of the 2nd ODI, the men in blue suffered a huge blow with Deepak Chahar ruled out of the series due to injury and being replaced by Washington Sundar. Shikhar Dhawan will hope to score runs and give the team a solid start, while the talented Shubman Gill will also look for a big knock having failed to do so in the opening match.

On the other hand, South Africa will be playing for crucial Super League points on offer which will give an automatic qualification for them for the next year's ODI World Cup. Temba Bavuma is going through a tough time with the bat and will look to find his form in a quick time. David Miller has shown excellent form on this tour having smashed his second T20I ton as well. Moreover, his form continued in the first ODI too as his brilliant half-century helped South Africa post 249 runs on the board in the rain-affected game. The visitors eventually went on to win the game by nine runs. Another cracking contest is expected on the cards.
