Complete India Women won by 4 runs

Harmanpreet Kaur: We were looking to bat only. In the previous game, somehow we managed to score 260 on the board. Today's wicket is even better. As a batting unit, we are looking for a more positive approach.
Laura Wolvaardt: We are gonna have a bowl first today. It's the first toss that I have won in a while. Looks a bit greener today, so we are hoping it skids on nicely later under lights. We've got two changes today. Nadine de Klerk returns from illness and comes in for Shangase. Jafta suffered a mild concussion at the training yesterday. So, Mieke de Ridder makes her debut. It's pretty much like-for-like.Nadine, being the all-rounder, offers with bat and ball and Mieke being the keeper should be pretty balanced again. Hopefully we are able to deliver batter as a group with the bat. A bit disappointed after the last game. We've had two days to reflect and have a couple of good, hard chats to talk about where we went wrong. Ready to go today, the series is still on the line and alive. If we can get that big win, all to play for in the last game. 
Debutant ArundhatI Reddy replaces Renuka Thakur Singh.

Pitch Report | Dane van Niekerk: "Dimensions - 58m and 56m square boundaries, straight down the ground - longest part - 66m. A lot more even grass coverage from the last match. It looks drier, it looks firm. It's pretty hard. The last two days, they've been rolling it really well. Looks a good track. India's spinners were running through the South African line-up in the last game. I think it won't take as much spin today. There'll be a lot more runs on offer. If I was the captain, I would chase. It's a beautiful chasing ground and we can expect a lot of runs - excess of 300." 
12:30 Local Time, 07:00 GMT: Hello everyone and a warm welcome to the second ODI between India and South Africa. The hosts notched up a convincing win in the opening match. Smriti Mandhana's ton coupled with two handy knocks down the order propelled India to 265 and South Africa never threatened to hunt down that total. While the pacers struck twice with the new ball, the rest of the damage was done by the spinners. Asha Sobhana had an impressive debut as she finished with impressive figures of 4/21. The battleground remains the same - Chinnaswamy. Can South Africa level the series? Or will India seal the ODI series with a match to go? Once again, Indian spinners vs SA batters will be the key battle. Let's find out who comes out on top today. Stick around, toss and team updates coming up shortly...
