Harshit Rana out Dewald Brevis

South Africa is pushing hard to challenge Team India (IND vs SA 1st ODI) in the second innings at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi while chasing a target of 350 in 50 overs. After sustaining 3 early blows, the visiting team looked promising for their middle-order batting line-up.

Harshit Rana was brilliant with the new ball in hand. He took the wickets of Ryan Rickelton and Quinton de Kock in the second over of the second innings. Arshdeep Singh got the wicket of captain Aiden Markram; South Africa lost 3 wickets for 11 runs only on the scoreboard. The three early departures gave India an instant boost, and South Africa took a wallop. Three middle-order batters—Matthew Breetzke and Tony de Zorzi—provided South Africa some much-needed stability in the middle.

Dewald Brevis walked into the ground with the bat as Zorzi departed for 39 off 35. With the appearance of Brevis, the X-factor of the South African batting lineup came into the contest. As long as the partnership of Breetzke and Brevis remained on the pitch, the crowd at the JSCA International Stadium got multiple moments to be excited as the young South African batter on multiple occasions sent the ball into the gallery for maximums.

The entertaining innings of Brevis stopped because of Harshit Rana. The pitcher sent off the aggressive batter with a brilliantly planned delivery. On the 4th delivery of the 22nd over of the second innings, Rana delivered a full, outside-off delivery. Brevis hit the ball towards the deep point cordon.

He got the height; the ball went miles into the sky but did not get the required distance to clear the rope. Near the rope, Ruturaj Gaikwad waited for a long time and grabbed the ball safely into his palms. Dewald departs for a breezy 37 off 28 balls.
