Opener Tony de Zorzi’s maiden ODI ton takes South Africa to series-levelling win after middle-order collapse restricts India to 211

[ad_1] At the start of this year, an interviewer from a lifestyle magazine asked Tony de Zorzi about his goals for the year. De Zorzi would answer: “Some more Instagram posts, more tattoos, more runs and longer hair.”In the last month of 2023, he could safely say that he has achieved all of his goals. The posts on Insta have been piling up, the ink has found more spots on his body, the rasta dreadlocks are shoulder-long. And most importantly, he has been racking up the runs. After an impressive start to his Test career, he showed he has the toolset to thrive in 50-over cricket too, with an unbeaten hundred that was more Caribbean than South African in tune, all flying locks and horizontal-bat flair. If the pull was his most productive stroke, the cut was the most brutal shot in his reper...

IND vs SA 2nd ODI: Sai Sudharsan tames spicy pitch with an elegant 62 against South Africa

[ad_1] The demons Sai Sudharsan had to quell at the St George’s Park had many faces. The bounce was awkward. The venerable seam-master of the past, Vernon Philander, behind the microphone, wished he got a spell or two. The carry and bounce were sufficient. The new ball bent and curved in the air. When it lost its glitter, it began to hoop off the surface. The left-arm seamer Nandre Burger was a throwback, a nasty new-ball wielder with burning eyes and scything stare. The breeze from the Algoa Bay might have whispered notes of doom into Sudharsan’s ears. The commentators kept reminding the audience of his age and rookie-ness. “Tough conditions for a 22-year-old,” or “just in his second game, a big test of his class.” But if you had watched just Sudharsan bat and not the rest, barring KL ...

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd ODI: Nandre Burger snaps up Tilak Varma, IND lose 2nd wicket

[ad_1] India's bowler Arshdeep Singh succefully appeals for LBW dismissal against South Africa's batsman Rassie van der Dussen during the first One Day International cricket match between South Africa and India, at the Wanderers in Johannesburg, South Africa. (AP | PTI) India versus South Africa: Arshdeep Singh shows signs of cracking ODI code The depth of India’s fast bowling is dizzying. The blue-chipped pace trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj, the batsmen-wreckers of the World Cup gone by, were nowhere to be seen in the Bullring. Bumrah and Siraj are preserving themselves for their country’s latest tilt at winning a Test series in South Africa; the hard labour of a frantic year took its toll on Shami’s body. Thrown, thus, into the deep end were a trio with a co...

‘Gazebo’, ‘Gaboora’: Indian players struggle to pronounce Gqeberha, host city of 2nd ODI vs South Africa

[ad_1] The Indian ODI team will be taking on South Africa for the second 50-over match in the three match series on Tuesday and the city which hosts the match has a pretty unorthodox name in Gqeberha, previously named Port Elizabeth. As Team India landed in the city, they were asked to spell or pronounce Gqeberha which stumped a lot of them, including skipper KL Rahul. “What is it called? I do not know how to pronounce it,” Rahul said in a video shared by the BCCI. Other stars like Tilak Varma as well as Yuzvendra Chahal also couldn’t get it right with the former terming it “Gazebo” while the latter said “Gaboora.” Tomorrow India will play the second ODI in 𝐆𝐪𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐡𝐚. We ask #TeamIndia members to spell/pronounce the city’s name. Did they get it right?😀😎 #SAvIND pic.twitter.com/roxHxvuLUP...

India vs South Africa playing XI tip off: Rajat Patidar to slot in for Shreyas Iyer, Sai Sudharsan to keep his spot as opener

[ad_1] Having battered South Africa in the opening ODI at Wanderers, Johannesburg, India will be eyeing to clinch the three-match series at St. George’s Oval in Port Elizabeth. With the T20 series tied, the visitors would run through the Proteas batting lineup as Arshdeep Singh (5/37) and Avesh Khan (4/27) claimed all but one wicket. Only four of the 11 South African batters could cross the double figures as the hosts bundled out for 116. India would chase it down with 33.2 overs to spare and eight wickets in hand. Here’s how they can line up in the second ODI: Rajat Patidar to replace Shreyas Iyer Even though Shreyas Iyer had been named by the BCCI for all three matches of the ODI squad, on Saturday the Indian cricket board had stated in a press release that Iyer will join the Test squa...

India vs South Africa Live Streaming, 2nd ODI: When and where to watch IND vs SA live?

[ad_1] India vs South Africa Live Streaming, 2nd ODI: After young pacers Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan produced a near flawless performance in the opening game that India won by eight wickets, India will be looking to seal the series in the second ODI at Gqeberha on Tuesday. India will also be without Shreyas Iyer, who will join the Test team and in that case India will handover a debut ODI cap to one of its reserve batters. The Indian team management has very specific roles for players and while Rinku is being looked upon as a finisher at No. 6, the 30-year-old Patidar is more of a specialist No. 4 when he bats for his state team Madhya Pradesh. Hence, with Iyer, a right-hander vacating a slot in the playing XI, his like-for-like replacement is Patidar. IND vs SA 2nd ODI live match tim...
