India won with 185 balls to spare, handing South Africa its third heaviest defeat on runs in ODIs.

South Africa won the opener in Lucknow by nine runs. India won in Ranchi by seven wickets and picked the same side. A wet outfield delayed the match for 30 minutes and India won the toss and bowled first, to no surprise.

South Africa was 26-3 after 10 overs.

Fast bowler Mohammed Siraj removed opener Janneman Malan and No. 3 batter Reeza Hendricks.

Offspinner Washington Sundar got rid of the other opener, Quinton de Kock as the pitch took spin and turn.
