IND vs SAF 2nd ODI Preview at Johannesburg - India v South Africa Second One Day Teams

After one sided opening game, in which South Africa crushed India by 135 runs, both teams will meet again in the 2nd one day on Saturday, 15th January, 2011 at New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg in day-night game starting from 12:30 GMT, 14:30 local, 18:00 IST. South Africa leading the 5 match series by 1-0.

India has to win this game in order to bounce back and level the series, only Virat Kohli put some fight in the last game and now they want Tendulkar to give good opening and more important some runs from Yuvraj, Rohit and Dhoni in the middle and they has to include Yusuf Pathan in the playing 11 to give more depth in batting and bowling.

South Africa will try to extend their lead after moral boosting huge win. ABD, Duminy and Amla are in good touch and if Smith provides good start they are clear favorite as they have deadly opening bowlers in terms of Sale Staeyn and Morne Morkel.
