Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The inability of set batters to reach three figures and the loss of eight wickets for 97 runs left India well short of a par score, captain KL Rahul admitted after their eight-wicket One-Day International loss to South Africa in Gqeberha on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

After being sent in to bat at St George’s Park in the second match of a three-game series, India were going well at 114 for two, but were bowled out for 211<\/p>\n

India failed to capitalise on the platform laid by a fine 62 from opener Sai Sudharsan and 56 from captain KL Rahul as the Proteas levelled the series ahead of the final match at Boland Park in Paarl on Thursday (1pm).<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a hard wicket to bat on, but a few of us got set. If one of us, including me, could have gone on to get a hundred we could have controlled the innings and got 50 to 60 runs extra, which could have made a big difference,\u201d Rahul said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we were batting we thought 240 to 250 would be a good total. That is what we were hoping for but we lost wickets at crucial intervals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rahul has faith in his batters ahead of the series decider.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe trust the players to come up with their own gameplan. Games like this will help them learn and get better as a cricketer.\u201d<\/p>\n

South African opener Reeza Hendricks (52) was dropped at slip early in the home side\u2019s innings.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the first 10 overs we beat the edge quite a lot. We had a chance with a catch that we missed. That might have made a difference. But we leave that here at the ground today and focus on the next game,\u201d Rahul said.<\/p>\n

South Africa were outplayed in the first game of the series as they lost by eight wickets but were vastly improved in Gqeberha.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a much better overall performance,\u201d captain Aiden Markram said. \u201cIt was going around when the openers went out to bat. They put up a 100-run partnership and set up the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Left-handed opener Tony de Zorzi, 26, scored an unbeaten 119 in 122 balls to win the game in his fourth ODI.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was huge for him,\u201d Markram said. \u201cTo put in a performance like that, to remain not out at the end and to remember how the crowd was to him, we were pretty much in awe.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was fantastic to watch. Hopefully the first of many for him. The dressing room enjoyed it.\u201d<\/p>\n
