As the first match progresses, it seems like the match will get a result which is favor to anyone of the sides.
At the current stage of day two, India is in the driver seat. With the help of Kholi's magnificent century team India managed to put 280 runs on the board.
On their own soil the South African team have been batting since earlier this morning. They started their innings on a confident note. But they lost the wicket of Alviro Pieterson early. But the partnership between Skipper Smith and Hasim Amla helped South Africa to cross 100 runs mark.
Earlier Ashwin dropped a catch when Smith was on 19. Smith used this opportunity well as he reached half century.
On 130 runs, South Africa lost three quick wickets of Amla, Kallis, Smith. After that South Africa lost two more wickets.
If they manage to have one good partnership, they may put 250-300 runs in the board in the first innings.
With this score India will start to play. As the match has progressed two days already the pitch may assist batsmen later. So India may try to get 400-500 runs in the second innings.
With a target of around 450 runs South Africa may begin to play their second innings in the last session of day four. If they manage to have some good partnerships in earlies of their second innings they will try to chase the target. Or if they lose some wickets earlier India will try to wrap up the South African batsmen in the second innings.
In the current stage both the teams have the balanced chances. So we have to wait until the day five.
