South Africa bounced back by winning the rain-affected and lightning-struck Pink ODI in Johannesburg.

The hosts won by 5 wickets after the Duckworth–Lewis (DLS) method reduced the match to 28 overs with a target of target 202 from previous 289.

India's wrist-spinners versus South Africa's batting line-up is still the key contest going ahead in this ODI series.

However, the dual rain intervention affected India's momentum with both the bat and ball.

From Indian bowling side, there are still question marks over the fitness of Kedar Jadhav, who suffered a hamstring injury in Cape Town and missed the previous game.
