Faf wary of resurgent hosts

South African batsman Faf du Plessis yesterday said his team has let some of its own momentum pass and allowed India to gain in confidence by committing tactical errors during the second one-day international in Indore.

"That's the most disappointing thing from the team's perspective. We had India on the ropes and we had momentum behind us, but now we have given them a sniff," du Plessis said.

"One-all in the series and they will be confident again winning."

Du Plessis said his team allowed Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni to rescue the hosts out of a precarious position with a blistering knock in Indore.

However, there are fears of a protest at the stadium. A quota spearhead in Gujrat has taken offense as tickets were allegedly not sold to his community members. This has caused the police to make elaborate security arrangements to ensure smooth conduct of the match.
