IND vs SA match expert tips (2nd ODI)
Keshav Maharaj has been at his best on this tour of India, even putting in an economical performance in the previous game. However, India are likely to field a middle order that is adept at playing spin. With the likes of Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad in the opposition ranks, Maharaj could be a slightly risky selection in your IND vs SA Dream11 prediction team.
