Indian cricket team is leading 1-0 in the 3-match ODI series against South Africa. Under the captaincy of KL Rahul, Team India would like to win the second ODI and clinch the series. Of course, Team India won the first match, but despite a big target and a bad start, the South African players took it till the last over. It was not confirmed till the end which team would win this match. Let us know which 4 players of the visiting team can prove to be dangerous in the second ODI.

1. Matthew Britzke

In the first ODI, the top-3 batsmen including the South African captain were out on the score of just 11 runs. Then Matthew Britzke had batted brilliantly, from here there was hope for the visiting team that they can also win the match. Britzke looked in great form, he scored 72 runs in 80 balls with the help of 1 six and 8 fours.

27-year-old Matthew Britzke has played 10 One Day International matches, in which he has scored 614 runs at a strike rate of 95.48. He scores runs at a fast pace, his highest score in ODI is 150 runs. He can prove dangerous in Raipur also.

2. Tony DeGeorge

Tony De Georgi is also in good form, he scored 39 runs in 35 balls in the first ODI. He also batted well in the Test against India, before that South Africa went on Pakistan tour where Georgie played a brilliant inning of 76 runs in the second ODI. He also scored a century in the test against Pakistan.

Looking at Tony De Georgi’s recent form, it seems that he is not facing any problem on Asian pitches, hence Indian bowlers will have to make a special strategy to dismiss him in the second ODI. 28-year-old Tony De Georgi has scored 688 runs in 21 ODI matches, his strike rate is 97.72. He also makes important contribution in fielding.

3. Marco Yansen

India vs South Africa, if we look at the last two matches, Marco Jansen looks like a proper batsman. He played a brilliant inning of 93 runs in the second test against India and also took 7 wickets. For this he was chosen Player of the Match. He performed similarly in the first ODI on Sunday.

Yansen scored runs at a strike rate of 179.49 in the first ODI, he scored 70 runs in 39 balls with the help of 3 sixes and 8 fours. Due to his performance, South Africa’s batting has started looking very strong even in the lower order. The tall Yansen will also trouble the Indian batsmen with his bowling. He can prove dangerous in the second ODI also.

4. Corbin Bosch

All-rounder Corbin Bosch came yesterday after Marco Jansen was out, which means 6 wickets had fallen and there was pressure on the visiting team. Although Yansen and Britzke had increased the pace of runs, still 123 more runs were needed to win. Then Corbyn increased the heartbeat of all the Indian fans by playing a half-century inning.

Corbin Bosch scored 67 runs in 51 balls with the help of 4 sixes and 5 fours, due to which South Africa was in the match till the last over. Although he was caught out in the last over, his game was praised by everyone. He also played a good inning of 41 runs in the first ODI on Pakistan tour. He took a total of 4 wickets in the 3 ODI series against Pakistan.
