After a magnificent Test series victory, the Proteas took their momentum into Wednesday's first ODI and eased to a 31-run victory. In large part, that was thanks to splendid centuries from Rassie van der Dussen and captain Temba Bavuma. Despite 50s from Shikhar Dhawan, Shardul Tahkur and disposed former captain Virat Kohli, they never really looked in the chase.

But this India team are a resilient bunch, and they've shown time and again that they have strength in depth. If they choose to ring the changes for this 2nd ODI at Boland Park, the fresh faces will be desperate to bring parity to the series score.
