India Steep 350 chase with India in control as South Africa
India’s total of 349/8 put them firmly in the lead in the first Odi in Ranchi and the match settled further in their favor with South Africa reeling at 136/5 in 22.2 overs. Harshit Rana struck twice, removing Rickelton and De Kock to leave the visitors stunned at 7/2. Arshdeep Singh’s early damage with Markram’s wicket tightened India’s grip on the contest. Tony de Zorzi and Breetzke briefly revived the chase with positive batting, but Kuldeep Yadav broke the partnership as the threat began to loom.
Devald Brevis was faced with three sixes but he was too stiff to end South Africa’s last great hope. At 136/5, the required run rate increased to 7.73 and the pressure quickly set in the lower order. India’s bowlers maintained superior discipline as they backed the fields with sharp efforts inside the circle, using pitch grip and uneven bounce. With Jansen showing only one intention, the chase now hinges on a miracle effort from the tail. Meanwhile, India are hunting for quick wickets to close the innings early.
