ndia, 2-0 ahead in the six-match ODI series against South Africa, have returned to Newlands at Cape Town, as they look to taken an unbeatable 3-0 series lead.
Cape Town is where India's batting frailties against swing and movement had been brutally exposed by South Africa's pace attack in the New Year's Test. What followed was sharp criticism and another defeat in Centurion and with that was dashed all hopes of a 10th successive Test series triumph.
The world's Womens Yu Darvish Jersey number one Test team had been humbled in their first big challenge away from home. ((Virat Kohli can be intimidating in dressing room, says ex-RCB coach Ray Jennings)Not Marcus Martin Jersey surprisingly then, India are being considered outright favourites when they square off against South Africa in the third ODI on Wednesday. Only last month, India had looked good enough to stun South Africa at Newlands. Bhuvneshwar Kumar had bowled a brilliant spell on the Womens Victor Martinez Jersey opening day, Hardik Pandya then smashed an aggressive 93 and bowled with heart but the Proteas found a way to keep hitting back and eventually stopped India from reaching a modest 208-run target. The low-scoring thriller saw both sides struggling to deal with the pace and bounce on offer for the fast bowlers with Bhuvneshwar making an early http://www.bearsfootballonline.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_BRIAN_URLACHER_JERSEY.html impact with three quick wickets in the first innings. Bhuvi removed opener Dean Elgar with his third http://www.officialsanfranciscogiantsshops.com/WOMENS-BRANDON-BELT-JERSEY.html delivery and then got rid of Hashim Amla and Aiden Markram in quick http://www.authenticoilersshoponline.com/authentic-2-andrej-sekera-jersey.html succession but India lost their early advantage after AB de Villiers and Faf du Plessis started to counter-attack while the tail-enders also chipped in with telling contributions. India eventually lost the Test match by 72 runs and thus, the momentum shifted in South Africa's favour who then crushed the visitors in the second Test at Centurion to bag the series. India then won a dead rubber on a difficult Wanderers pitch at Johannesburg. Defying odds, the visitors showed great character to script a 63-run victory. They carried that momentum to the first two ODIs in Durban and Centurion, winning by massive margins. Moreover, India have looked much sharper on the field than South Africa, who have had to do without the services of AB de Villiers in Durban and Centurion. The world's number two-ranked batsman will also miss the third ODI in Cape Town. Skipper Faf du Plessis, who scored 120 in the opening ODI, was ruled out of the remainder of the limited-overs series due to injury while Quinton de Kock was sidelined from the last four ODIs and the Allen Bailey Jersey following T20I series after sustaining a wrist injury.
