Team India is recently coming off a tour of New Zealand where they played brilliantly to whitewash the hosts in the T20 series but then, things went downhill as they lost the ODI series as well as the Test series, clean-swept in both series. Now, they will be playing host for a series of 3 ODIs between 12-18 March 2020 and the touring team is South Africa. Today, we’ll help you with some India vs South Africa tips.
South Africa is also coming off plenty of recent cricketing action, with a long home series against England and then against Australia, where they didn’t get as many positive results as they would’ve expected. However, they whitewashed Australia 3-0 in the recent ODI series at home and will be high on confidence coming to this India vs South Africa ODI cricket series. Keep reading for our Cric Gyan fantasy cricket tips and tricks for the IND vs SA 1st ODI…

South Africa
Wicket-keeper batsman Kyle Verreynne recently made his international debut and scored 48 and 50 in 3 ODIs against Australia but I’ll skip the 22-year old because he doesn’t have much exposure of playing in these parts of the world. Among our India vs South Africa predictions is Quinton de Kock who has loved scoring in India and particularly against India, with an average of 60+ and a top score of 135 against India so far.
Janneman Malan also made his debut recently and even scored 129* in his first 3 ODIs against Australia but doesn’t have much exposure here to do well in the India vs South Africa series, so pick the more experienced likes of Faf du Plessis though he hasn’t scored a single fifty in 2020 yet. All-rounders are key and JJ Smuts picked 2/42 and 84 in the 3rd ODI against Australia, and had a 10-fer against Dolphins in December 2019.
India
The India skipper Virat Kohli just had a horrid tour of New Zealand where he scored only 38 runs in 4 Test innings but all signs point to a return in form, including his massive record of 1,200+ ODI runs against South Africa including 4 centuries and 6 fifties in 27 ODIs. He is also the highest scorer in ODIs at this ground. With the ball, Yuzvendra Chahal has done brilliantly against SA, with 20 scalps in just 7 previous ODIs.
There’s a lot of hype over Hardik Pandya‘s return to the side and one of our certain India vs South Africa match predictions is that he’ll do well especially since he was good in the recent DY Patil Cup after recovering from injury. This India vs South Africa match is set to be an exciting one and Shreyas Iyer should also be in your side, with 1 century, 3 fifties and 2 forties in his last 10 games for India.
