South Africa vs India, 1st ODI at Paarl, SA v IND, Jan 19 2022 - Match Result

Rassie van der Dussen is the Player of the Match. "I knew I had to get my sweeps and reverse sweeps quite early on because we couldn't let them settle. Two high pressure run chases in the Tests meant we were quite confident as a unit. All in all, a good day for the batters." And that's it from us here today. Thanks so much for joining us, and see you again soon!

"We played close to the perfect game," Temba Bavuma says. "Throughout my innings, I struggled to get the ball out of the middle and hit the ball in the gaps. Rassie though seemed to be batting on a different wicket. I think that partnership was quite key for us."

"There's so much to learn, KL Rahul says. "We started really well and couldn't get wickets in the middle. I didn't bat after the 20th over so I don't know if the pitch changed, but Virat and Shikhar said it was a good wicket to bat on once you were set. Unfortunately we couldn't get those partnerships in the middle."

They judged the conditions perfectly when setting a target, and once that second wicket partnership between Dhawan and Kohli was broken, India crumbled

Shardul on 49. Can he get to his maiden half-century off the last ball?

Dipanjan Show: "Both Thakur and Bumrah has now achieved their highest ODI score."

South Africa have let India hang around in this game for a bit too long. They'll still almost certainly win this, but they maybe should have won with more authority

Werner Spreeuwe: "They should open with Djokovic. It took the Aussies 2 weeks to get him out. "

Jeetu Sangwani: "I hope they don't try to do a Agarkar/pathan on Thakur and try to make him an all rounder"
