Team Form

India Team Form

India continue to experiment with their batting order as they find their feet but they have enough batting prowess to take on South Africa with ease. Rohit Sharma is set to open for the team, and Virat Kohli adds strength to their top order.

South Africa Team Form

South Africa come into this series after a 1-2 defeat at the hands of Pakistan in the ODIs, and their batting displays were rather lackluster. This puts them on the backfoot against India in the next game.

India vs South Africa Head-to-Head

South Africa have the edge over India in their ODI head-to-head tally with 51 victories while the latter won 40 times. Head-to-Head Record Total - 94 India - 40 South Africa - 51 No Result - 3

India vs South Africa Best Batters

Rohit Sharma to be India’s Best Batter

Rohit Sharma went hammer and tongs against Australia in their previous ODI series, having garnered a total of 202 runs in three innings while the others failed to cross the 100-run threshold. His best performance was during the third match where he notched up 121* runs, and he ended the series with an average of 101.00 which makes him the top choice against South Africa as well.

Quinton de Kock to be South Africa’s Best Batter

Quinton de Kock top-scored for South Africa during their last ODI series against Pakistan where he amassed 239 runs in three innings. He scored a ton and two half-centuries, and he was also the leading batter in the last match, having posted 53 runs on the board. With an average of 119.50 in the tournament, he is anticipated to be their standout batter once again.

He was particularly impressive in the last game where he delivered 8.4 overs, bagged a four-wicket haul and earned an economy rate of 4.50. He is expected to lead the charge in the upcoming match as well.

Nandre Burger to be South Africa’s Best Bowler

Nandre Burger played two out of three ODI games against Pakistan and stood as South Africa’s top wicket-taker with five wickets.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

India

India’s performance in the tests was suboptimal to say the least but their ODI lineup is a great deal more promising with veteran talents like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli leading from the front. Although Shubman Gill’s absence is far from ideal, the rest of the team can absolutely hold their own with KL Rahul as their stand-in captain for the series. On the other hand, the World Test Champions will likely find it harder to make headway in the limited-overs format. India and South Africa both lost their respective ODI series prior to this but the former have what it takes to bounce back and give the visitors a run for their money.
