IND vs SA Playing 11: India vs South Africa 2nd ODI Predicted Lineups

India are up against South Africa in the 2nd of the three-match ODI series on Wednesday (December 3) at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Stadium in Raipur.

India hold a 1-0 lead after defeating South Africa by 17 runs in the series opener at Ranchi on November 30, where Virat Kohli's 135 and half-centuries from Rohit Sharma (57) and KL Rahul (60) powered them to 349/8, while the Proteas fell short at 332.

As they take on each other again, the hosts will be eyeing to seal the series, while the Proteas will try to find a way of parity.

Raipur's surface starts batsman-friendly with bounce but grips later, assisting spinners like Kuldeep Yadav and Keshav Maharaj while favoring chases due to potential dew. Fast bowlers such as Harshit Rana and Marco Jansen could exploit early swing in this medium-scoring venue.
