South Africa vs India Betting Tips
India to score under 23.5 runs before their first dismissal (1.86 @Parimatch)
India is coming from a 0-3 Test defeat against New Zealand. Before that, India played a T20I series against Bangladesh. The team opened with Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson. The pair scored 25, 17 & 23 runs before their first dismissal in those three matches. Sharma is new to the team whereas Samson has lacked vigour in the 20 over format. In the last clash against the Proteas, India scored 23 runs for their first wicket in the game. That said, India will lose an early wicket and score under 24 runs before their first dismissal in the next game.

South Africa vs India Toss Prediction
Toss predictions are speculative as toss outcomes are based purely on chance, with no data-driven method to reliably forecast them. However, at Kingsmead in Durban, teams might often opt to bowl first, given that the pitch can favor seamers early due to coastal conditions, with potential for evening dew affecting fielding and bowling under lights in limited-overs formats.
Weather Report
On November 8, Durban is expected to experience mild temperatures, with a high of around 22°C and a low near 16°C. There is a moderate chance of rain with an estimated 3 mm of precipitation possible throughout the day.

Ravi Bishnoi to be the top bowler for India
He is one of the best T20I bowlers in World Cricket. Bishnoi has a knack of picking up wickets when the team is in troubled waters. He picked 8 wickets in the last three T20Is against Bangladesh. Looking at his form, he will enter as the best bowling pick from the side.
Keshav Maharaj to be the top bowler for South Africa
Keshav Maharaj is a wily left arm spinner, who doesn't leak runs and also provides breakthroughs when it matters the most, especially in the shortest format of the game. Maharaj picked 2 wickets in the last game against India.
