South Africa vs India Betting Tips
South Africa to score under 25.5 runs before 1st dismissal (1.85 @Parimatch)
The Proteas are in a tough spot deciding upon their openers since Quinton de Kock retired and Temba Bavuma is absent from the current series. In the two T20I games, SA posted the scores of 42 & 4 runs before 1st dismissal. Reeza Hendricks has fixed his place as an opener in the team currently. But the batting has not been impressive in the ODIs where India dominated over SA completely. In their World Cup clash, SA scored 4 runs before 1st dismissal. The team opened with new openers in the current series. Reeza Hendricks and Tony de Zorzi opened for the team in the first ODI. Hendricks averages at 28.60 in the format whereas that of Zorzi reads as 25.33 with a very little experience in the ODIs. The pair posted 3 runs before Hendricks lost his wicket in the first ODI. India has been merciless with their bowling in the series and will be looking to continue the same.

St George's Park is known for offering balanced pitches, allowing batsmen to showcase their strokes and providing opportunities for bowlers. In the recent SA20 series, the average first-innings score across five matches was 164, with the highest total being 210/2 by Sunrisers Eastern Cape, who eventually became champions. Out of the five games, teams chasing targets emerged victorious in three, while teams batting first secured wins twice. Given the venue's nature, winning the toss might lead the captain to choose to bowl first, considering the historical trends and the competitive dynamics of the matches played at St George's Park.

South Africa vs India Betting Odds
In the first ODI, South Africa batted first and they were bowled out for 116. Arshdeep Singh started off very well with the ball. He picked up 2 early wickets and put South Africa on the backfoot and managed to pick another 3 wickets by the end. Wickets then kept falling at regular intervals and South Africa looked completely out of the game. They were eventually bowled out for a paltry 116. Andile Phehlukwayo was the top scorer from South Africa with the score of 33 runs. It was an easy chase for the Indian team as they surpassed the target in the 17th over itself. India lost Ruturaj Gaikwad early on. After his dismissal, Sai Sudarshan and Shreyas Iyer started smashing the bowlers to all parts of ground, scored 55 and 52 runs respectively and took India home with 8 wickets in hand.
