South Africa vs India Toss Prediction
The toss at St George's Park, Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth), is random and can’t be predicted. However, the pitch conditions often guide decisions. Teams winning the toss here frequently opt to bowl first, as early morning moisture can assist seamers, especially in limited-overs formats. St George's Park is also known for slowing down as the game progresses, benefiting spinners and making chasing slightly more challenging.
Weather Report
On November 10, Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) is expected to experience mild and partly cloudy weather. Temperatures are likely to be around 16-18°C. There may be patchy rain in the area, so brief rain showers could occur.
