Key Players

Hardik Pandya – Hardik Pandya had a wonderful IPL season. He showed his ability to bat up the order, led the side beautifully and bought back his bowling skills. In this series though, Hardik Pandya is likely to be used as a finisher. He has been named vice-captain as well and is likely gonna have a role to play as a leader.
David Miller – Like Hardik Pandya, David Miller had a potential career-changing IPL season. He was at his best and came out with a lot of clarity in his role. With a lot of confidence behind him and an improvement in his ability against spin, David Miller will be a dangerous player in the small Delhi ground.

India vs South Africa Match Prediction

With India playing an inexperienced squad, they may have a tough time against South Africa. The last time these two sides played in a white-ball series, South Africa whitewashed the Indians, and with their strength, they come into this game with a huge advantage.

Match Prediction: South Africa will win the match.
