HALF TIME: SA lead 2-0. SA are definitely the superior team now. They successfully defended Indian attacks for around 15m. They also have unsettled many Indian players by not letting them have the ball for a long time. As a result, India has not been able to build even a single concrete and convincing move. They are fumbling with the ball trapping under pressure and the team co-ordination is missing too. With down two goals, India will need something different and magical in the 2nd half to save this match now.
