IND vs SA 2022, 2nd ODI: Today's match players list, teams & umpires

Down 0-1 in the three-match series, Team India face a must-win situation in the second ODI against South Africa at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi on Sunday, October 9. The Proteas got the better of the hosts by nine runs in a rain-reduced first encounter in Lucknow to take the significant lead in the series.

Batting first after losing the toss, South Africa put up an impressive 249 for four on the board in 40 overs, courtesy of terrific knocks from Heinrich Klaasen (74* off 65) and David Miller (75* off 63).

The Men in Blue got off to a disastrous start in response and were in all sorts of trouble at 51 for four. Sanju Samson (86* off 63) and Shreyas Iyer (50 off 37) batted defiantly to lift India. The hosts, however, fell short of the target.

Team India suffered an injury blow ahead of the second ODI as pacer Deepak Chahar was ruled out of the remaining games due to a back injury. Off-spinning all-rounder Washington Sundar has been named as Chahar's replacement for the remainder of the series.
