They batted better than us in middle overs but not having played lot of ODIs was also a factor: Rishabh Pant

PAARL: Flamboyant Rishabh Pant believes that the difference between the two teams in the just lost ODI series was far better middle-overs batting by the South African side.

Having lost the first game by 31 runs, Indians were once again soundly thrashed by seven wickets after having put up a reasonably good 287 runs on the board.
