IND VS RSA - 2nd ODI, South Africa tour of India, 2025

Corbin Bosch: I just said to Kesh, let's run hard. We still need less than a run-a-ball. I just told Kesh, let's stay nice and calm, run nice and hard, and we'll be able to pick off the runs. There's always the belief in this team that we can chase anything. Tonight just shows that we can do incredible things when the game is set up perfectly. The guys in the top of the order set up this game beautifully for us to finish it off at the end. (On the conditions) Bowling on it was a little bit tricky. Obviously, not my best bowling performance, but the dew definitely played a factor. The ball started coming on quite nicely. It was quite sticky when the outfield was still nice and dry, but as soon as the ball got a bit wet, it got a little bit tougher. Obviously, it made it a little bit easier for us to score the runs. I had full belief that if needed, Nandre would come in. I just told Kesh, let's be nice and calm and take it one ball at a time, one run at a time, and we'll get over the line. (On batting at eight) That's my job. It's so much easier batting at number 8 than opening, but I'll take it. Whatever I can do to contribute for the team, I'll happily do it.

22:09 Local Time, 16:39 GMT: That was a well-paced run-chase by South Africa. The conditions got better for batting with dew coming in, India were also ordinary with the ball and in the field, but it still needed some smart and composed batting to see the chase through. Quinton de Kock went early but Markram shouldered the responsibility at the top of the order and added crucial partnerships with skipper Bavuma and Breetzke. Jaiswal dropped Markram on 53 and he made India pay by breezing to a 88-ball century. Once he was dismissed, Breetzke and Brevis joined hands to stitch a 92-run stand for the fourth wicket. Both reached their fifties but neither could finish the job. That opened the door ever so slightly and India sensed a flicker of hope especially after Jansen fell and de Zorzi hobbled off injured. But that glimmer was swiftly extinguished by Bosch. He ran out of partners in the first ODI and could not take them over the line, but he closed out the chase today along with Maharaj. Presentations coming up..

Prasidh to Corbin Bosch, FOUR, South Africa level the series. They win by 4 wickets. This is their third highest chase in ODIs. Bosch is pumped. Fullish delivery around off, Bosch drives it straight of mid-on and the fireworks go off in Raipur

Prasidh to Corbin Bosch, 2 runs, that's unlucky! 137.8ks speared into the blockhole, Bosch jams it off the inside edge to fine leg and the batters scamper back for the second as Arshdeep tidies up in the deep

Prasidh Krishna [8.0-0-79-2] is back into the attack

3 from the final over. Prasidh is going to bowl. Conference between Rohit, Rahul, Arshdeep and Prasidh. An extra fielder inside the ring might be a good thing for India. How many balls does Bosch need?

Arshdeep Singh to Maharaj, 1 run, 135.1ks full pitcher around off, Maharaj drives to long-off
