In the first ODI match against India, South Africa faced a series of record-breaking defeats, including their lowest total at home in Johannesburg and their second-biggest ODI defeat in terms of balls remaining. Despite their previous high-scoring performances in 2023, South Africa struggled to score runs in challenging conditions. Additionally, Andile Phehlukwayo was ruled out of the ODI series due to an injury. In the second ODI, India scored 211 all out in 46.2 overs, with Sai Sudharsan being the top scorer with 62 runs. Nandre Burger, who performed impressively, secured an IPL deal. Tony de Zorzi's maiden ODI ton led South Africa to an eight-wicket victory over India, guiding the series to a decider.
