India and South Africa (IND vs SA 2nd ODI) are all set for the 2nd of the 3-match ODI at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Raipur. Both teams are on the ground with one target—a win.

India is the favorite to win the game, after their dominating performance in the previous match in Ranchi. With the win in the first ODI, Team India is currently leading the scoreline by 1-0. If they manage to continue the momentum, then the scoreline will be 2-0 after today's (December 3) match, and South Africa's hope to win the ODI series will be demolished. All eyes will be on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli again. Sharma scored a half-century in the last game, while Kohli registered his 52nd ODI hundred. The contest in Ranchi was a high-scoring affair, as multiple batters from both of the teams played some attacking batting performances.

The nature of the surface in New Raipur will be interesting to see. Pacers got help with the new ball in Ranchi. Along with the brilliant batting, Indian bowlers also did their tasks well to protect the total. Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, and Arshdeep Singh were the star performers with the ball. In this match too, Team India will miss the service of their regular captain, Shubman Gill. Gill is recovering from a neck injury. KL Rahul will be in charge of leading the team.
