South Africa earned a hard-fought victory in the first ODI encounter played at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on October 6 (Thursday). Indian batters Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, and Shardul Thakur gave their best with the bat during the chase, but fell short of the target by mere nine runs.

Team India was chasing a target of 250 runs, but the South African bowlers applied pressure right from the word go as team India top order batters Shikhar Dhawan, Ishan Kishan, and Shubman Gill failed to get going with the bat. 

A late fightback by the Indian middle order ensured that the home team still remain in the match, but it was too much of an ask for the Indian batters. For South Africa, pacer Lungi Ngidi was the pick of the bowlers as he took three wickets for his team. Kagiso Rabada also took two wickets for his team. Wayne Parnell, Keshav Maharaj, and Tabraiz Shamsi also took one wicket each. 

David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen were the heroes of the Proteas side

Earlier in the innings, team India bowlers bowled well with the new ball as they took a few wickets upfront. However, senior Proteas batters including Quinton de Kock, David Miller, and Heinrich Klaasen played some excellent knocks for their team, and the visiting team managed to give a target of 250 runs to the Men in Blue.

For team India, all-rounder Shardul Thakur was the pick of the bowlers as he took two crucial wickets for his side. Spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Ravi Bishnoi also picked up one wicket each for their side. The Men in Blue were also very sloppy on the field as they dropped several catches in the first innings. 

Both teams will take on each other in the second ODI encounter to be played in Ranchi on October 9 (Sunday). The Men in Blue will look to level the series before going to the series decider.
