IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022 LIVE score and updates

FIFTY for Sanju Samson! What a knock this has been so far. He took his time when Iyer was going all guns blazing at the other end and now he is unleashing the brutal self. He has slammed a fifty and his ultimate target is to take India past the winning mark. 

IND 187/5 (35.5)

India need 63 runs in 25 balls - Match reduced to 40 overs per side due to rain

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022 LIVE score and updates

South Africa have lost both of their reviews and it has frustrated de Kock who did not want either of them. More on that story later. Currently, Samson is playing beautifully. He needs more support from Thakur at the other end in terms of power-hitting as the required run rate swells. 

IND 167/5 (33.3)

India need 83 runs in 39 balls - Match reduced to 40 overs per side due to rain

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022 LIVE score and updates

Sanju Samson survives two LBW appeals. Both went upstairs and both denied, SA lose the 2 reviews. All Indian hopes now pinned on Sanju and Thakur. Sanju's wicket especially important for Proteas and that why Bavuma took those DRS. 

IND 148/5 (30.5)

India need 102 runs in 55 balls - Match reduced to 40 overs per side due to rain
 

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022 LIVE score and updates - WICKET!

Oh man! Terrible news for India as Shreyas Iyer is walking back. He is gone for 50 off 37 balls. Tried to take on Ngidi, ball hit the bottom edge and flew to mid on where Rabada makes no mistakes and takes a safe catch. Iyer's dismissal pushes India on back foot yet again. Shardul Thakur joins Sanju in the middle. 

IND 118/5 (26.5)

India need 132 runs in 79 balls - Match reduced to 40 overs per side due to rain

What a knock from Shreyas Iyer. A counter-attacking innings from Iyer when the chips were down. He scores the half century from 33 balls. Healthy strike rate. Sanju growing in confidence at the other end. India are still in it. The 5th-wicket stand keeps India afloat in chase. 

IND 118/4 (26.1)

India need 132 runs in 83 balls - Match reduced to 40 overs per side due to rain
 

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022 LIVE score and updates

Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer stepping on the gas now. Especially Iyer who is very good against spin. Partnership 44 off 26 balls and these 2 need to go at the same speed to make a match out of it from here. 

IND 96/4 (22.1)

India need 154 runs - Match reduced to 40 overs per side due to rain

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022 LIVE score and updates - WICKET!

One more Indian wicket falls. What is happening! Ishan Kishan comes down the track and then checks the shot as Maharaj shortens the length and Kishan ends up playing it to leg slip hands. India on back foot and runs too hard to come by here in Lucknow. Sanju Samson comes in to bat, joins Shreyas Iyer in the middle. India have gone past 50 but it has taken them a long time to do so.

IND 51/4 (17.5)

India need 199 runs - Match reduced to 40 overs per side due to rain
 

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022 LIVE score and updates - WICKET!

Alright, the small partnership that was now looking to grow further at quick speed has been broken thanks to Tabraiz Shamsi. Smart glove work by Quinton de Kock as Ruturaj Gaikwad is dismissed stumped. Shreyas Iyer joins Kishan in the middle. Gaikwad made 19 off 42 balls on his ODI debut. Iyer and Kishan need to score at quick speed now. 

IND 49/3 (17)

India need 201 runs - Match reduced to 40 overs per side due to rain
 

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022 LIVE score and updates

India going too slow at the moment and the chase will enter the half way stage soon. 14 overs already gone and India just have 36 runs on the board. The required rate is over 8 but one must admit that India are facing one superb bowling attack. Rabada and Co have been on top of their game in the innings. After th Drinks Break, Gaikwad smashes a boundary. That will do. 

IND 40/2 (14.1)

India need 210 runs - Match reduced to 40 overs per side due to rain
 

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022 LIVE score and updates

Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad steady the Indian innings despite the fact that the asking rate continues to build up. Maharaj and Lungi Ngidi from two ends. Either of them need to take the task of hitting the boundaries but there is a lot of juice for bowlers still in the track. 

IND 29/2 (11.5)

India need 221 runs - Match reduced to 40 overs per side due to rain

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022 LIVE score and updates

India under the pump here. South African pacers dominating the proceedings right now. KG Rabada and  Parnell spitting fire. The asking rate continues to jump. Ishan Kishan and Gaikwad have looked shaky but they are showing a lot of fight. Keshav Maharaj now comes into the attack and Bavuma introduced spin. 

IND 22/2 (9.2)

India need 228 runs - Match reduced to 40 overs per side due to rain
 

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022 LIVE score and updates: WICKET!

Another one bites the dust. Wayne Parnell strikes as skipper Shikhar Dhawan chops one on to the stumps. Both openers back to the change room. Ishan Kishan joins Ruturaj Gaikwad in the middle. This is a big ask for both these batters here, a big opportunity as well. South Africa on top right now. 

IND 8/2 (5.2)

India need 242 runs - Match reduced to 40 overs per side due to rain
 

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022 LIVE score and updates - WICKET!

That's the wicket of Shubman Gill, Kagiso Rabada cleans him up with an absolute beauty. India lose their first wicket in the chase in the third over. Rabada and Parnell bowling in tandem at the moment and that are looking very threatening with the ball. 

IND 8/1 (2.4)

India need 242 runs - Match reduced to 40 overs per side due to rain

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022 LIVE score and updates

SA 249/4 40 over match

Brilliant hitting from Klaasen and Miller takes South Africa to a very good total. Klaasen makes 74 off 65 balls, Miller finished with 75 off 63 balls. India have been terrible in the field. Dropped catches aplenty and misfields in numbers as well. Many red lines in that notebook. 

250 to win for India and this is still a chaseabl target. Chase coming up in half an hour. 

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022 LIVE score and updates

Top knocks from Miller and Klaasen, both reach their respective fifties and South Africa look set for a BIG score in Luckno. India under the pump here. If they want to chase anything less than 250, they need to get rid of both these batters. 24 balls still remaining in the innings. 

RSA 207/4 (36) - 40 over match

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022

Klaasen and Miller still there and looking to take take the side to over 250. They can even go beyond that to 280. That would be some target to chase. Kuldeep Yadav finishes his spell. Picks up one wicket in 8 overs for 39 runs. Top work thos. But India need to close well here. Need one wicket to break this stand. 

RSA 184/4 (33) - 40 over match

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022 LIVE score and updates

Klaasen and Miller stand for the 5th wicket is of 50 now. They are getting many short deliveries from the spinner and they are making most of it. The counter-attack has stunned the Indians. Klaasen, especially, has taken over and is inching towards his individual fifty. India need a wicket to break this dangerous partnership. 

RSA 164/4 (30) - 40 over match

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022

David Miller, in form, has come in and has started counter attacking. He is already 20 off 13 balls, that includes 2 fours and 1 six respectively. Terrific hitting, targetting the spinners. Maybe it is time to put on some pace on the ball. Drinks called, momentum breaks and 15 more overs to go in this innings. 

RSA 134/4 (25) - 40 over match

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022: WICKET!

And Bishnoi strikes, traps De Kock in front of the stumps. The left-handed batter departs fpr 48, two short of fifty. He tried to reverse sweep Bishnoi who bowled a flatter and straighter line, de Kock and missed and hit him right in front of the stumps. Went upstairs, but the decision was not overturned. SA lose their 4th wicket. 

RSA 111/4 (22.3) - 40 over match

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022

Quinton de Kock and Klaasen have begun South Africa's recovery. De Kock inching towards his fifty. Klaasen also looking good in the middle. Some concerns for Dhawan as he looks to break this growing stand. 

RSA 99/3 (20.3) - 40 over match

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022: Wicket!

One more wicket for Shardul Thakur as he dismisses Temba Bavuma, who continues to have a bad series. Gone for 8 off 12 balls. SA lose their 2nd wicket in quick succession. An absolute peach from Thakur and Bavuma had no clue whatsoever and lost him timber. 

RSA 70/2 (15) - 40 over match 

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022: WICKET!

That's it, the first wicket has finally fallen and Shardul Thakur strikes, bowled on the legs, and Malan fails to control the flick and the catch is taken at mid-wicket region by Shreyas Iyer. Malan made 22 off 42 balls including 3 boundaries. India finally break the opening stand. 

RSA 49/1 (12.1) - 40 over match 

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022

DROPPED! Shardul Thakur comes into the attack and almost got his man. Genuine nick off Malan's bat but has been put down by Shubman Gill at first slip. India's fielding continues to disappoint. Gill is gutted, Thakur is upset but nothing can happen. Need to pull back focus on the game and be ready for the next bll. Malan and De Kock going slow but steady in the middle.

RSA 31/0 (9) - 40 over match

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022

Malan and De Kock have looked shaky but they are still hanging around. Siraj and Avesh have bowled well with the new ball but without any success so far. Dhawan sticking with these two even after 6 overs. Remember a bowler can bowl only 8 overs in this rain-curtailed match. India continue for first wicket. 

RSA 20/0 (6.3)   

IND vs SA 1st ODI 2022

Proteas openers Janneman Malan and Quinton de Kock off to a slow start. Mohammed Siraj and Avesh Khan begin well for India with the new ball. Huge appeak vs Malan for LBW in just the first over but the ball was pitching outside off and India lost the review. De Kock hit on his left upper thigh by Avesh's delivery and he looked in some sort of trouble but recovers quickly to hit a boundary on the next ball. 

RSA 8/0 (2.4)

Every opportunity is what these youngsters look for. The talent in the batting department, we are spoilt for choices. The selectors are going to have a tough decision next year (for the ODI World Cup). It is an opportunity for the youngsters.
