The Proteas pacers exposed the chinks in Indian batting's armour amid seam-friendly conditions in the second ODI, and despite young southpaw Sai Sudharsan and captain KL Rahul's half-centuries, the visitors could only get to a well-below-par total of 211. The home team polished off the target with ease, losing just two wickets in the process.

Openers Tony de Zorzi and Reeza Hendricks set the tone with a 130-run partnership, and de Zorzi went on to score an unbeaten ton (119 not out off 122 balls; 9x4, 6x6) to guide South Africa home. The Indian seamers began promisingly but were let down in the field, and eventually lost steam to make the match a one-sided affair.
