IND vs SA Match Preview

After a one-sided first ODI in Johannesburg in which India won by 8 wickets with 200 balls remaining, South Africa and India face off in the second ODI in Gqeberha on Tuesday afternoon. South Africa were bowled out for 116 on Sunday and will need to bat better in this one-day international. South Africa’s experienced batters let them down in Sunday’s one-day international, with Tony de Zorzi and Andile Phehlukwayo scoring the majority of their runs. After an equally impressive T20I performance in Johannesburg on Thursday, India was exceptional with the ball on Sunday. They can expect South Africa to be stronger with the bat in this game.

Topmost Picks for IND vs SA Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – India

• Ruturaj Gaikwad – After missing the T20I series due to illness, the opener returned to the side for Sunday’s first ODI. He has a top score of 71 in this format but needs a score after hitting only 5 in Johannesburg.
• Arshdeep Singh – The left-arm opening swing bowler produced his second international 5-wicket haul in the opening game of the series and South Africa’s batters will be wary of facing him early in the innings on Tuesday.

Top Picks – South Africa

• Rassie van der Dussen – Although he got his first ever ODI golden duck on Sunday, the right-hander still averages 54.00 in this format and will be keen to make amends in this game.
• Wiaan Mulder – The pace bowling all-rounder impressed with his full length and tight lines in the first ODI. He also picked up the wicket of opener Ruturaj Gaikwad.

KL Rahul, Heinrich Klaasen, Ruturaj Gaikwad(C), Sai Sudharsan, Tony de Zorzi, Aiden Markram(VC), Rassie van der Dussen, Nandre Burger, Keshav Maharaj, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav

IND vs SA Probable Winners:

India dominated at the Wanderers Stadium on Sunday, and South Africa must respond in this game or risk losing the series at the first opportunity. The hosts can put the pressure back on India with a stronger batting display, and we expect that to happen in this game. Overall, India appears to be the more confident and stronger side. Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.
