The SA A side are eager for an improved performance with ball in hand when they take on their counterparts India A in the second four-day match at the Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein on Tuesday.

Cricket fans can catch all the action from the ‘A’ series taking place from November 23 to December 9 live on SuperSport’s YouTube page.

SA declared on 509/7 in their first innings following an impressive batting display with Pieter Malan and Tony de Zorzi starring before the visitors delivered an imposing performance of their own with the bat, recording a total of 308/4 as the conditions cut their innings short.“It was a decent start in terms of the series,” Maketa noted.

“Well done to Pieter Malan on a good innings in terms of what we needed at the time as a team and gladly supported by Sinethemba Qeshile and Jason Smith, guys who came in and really batted well.“When it comes to the bowling, unfortunately we weren’t that good at the start, but we pulled it back quite nicely in terms of our control of line and length, which is encouraging and something we want to build on going forward into the next game,” said Maketa.
