IND vs SA 1st ODI Highlights: Sanju Samson hit an unbeaten 86 but India fell short against South Africa in the first ODI at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
Chasing the target of 250, India lost the first two wickets as both Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill were dismissed in the first over. Even Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad failed to impress.
Shreyas Iyer showed great intent, smashing a 33-ball 50 before perishing soon after. Samson initially struggled to get going but picked up speed after reaching the 50-run mark.
Earlier unbeaten fifties from David Miller (75) and Heinrich Klaasen (74) helped South Africa post 249 for 4 in the stipulated 40 overs. The match was shortened to 40 over-a-side due to rain. Indian captain Shikhar Dhawan won the toss and elected to bowl first. (SCORECARD)
