IND vs SA Preview

Dinesh Karthik dazzled as India made a comeback to level the series at 2-2. Karthik smashed his maiden T20I fifty to propel India to 169/5. The bowlers did the rest as South Africa were bundled out for 87, handing India a big win by 82 runs. The series decider will be played at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Sunday, June 19.

India

• India have never lost a T20I series at home since 2019.
• Skipper’s Rishabh Pant struggles with the bat is hurting India. The southpaw has scored only 57 in the four T20Is so far.

South Africa

• The Proteas, on the other hand, have never lost a white ball series in India since 2011.
• South Africa needs to fix their batting woes after being bundled out for the second successive game.

Pitch Report: M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru

Over the years, the wicket at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium has produced a run-fest, as seen in the IPL and a handful of international T20Is. With a fast outfield and shorter boundaries, the surface generally stays true across 40 overs.

Weather Forecast

Rain and thunderstorms are expected on match day as the monsoon season begins in India. The wind speed and humidity will be around  75 percent and 14 km/h respectively, while the temperature can hover in the range from 20 degrees Celsius to 27 degrees celsius.

IND vs SA Probable Playing XI

India:

Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan.

South Africa:

Heinrich Klassen (wk), Temba Bavuma (c), Rassie van der Dussen, Quinton De Kock, Lungi Ngidi, David Miller, Dwaine Pretorious, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Tabraiz Shamsi/ Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje

Head to Head (Last 5 T20I Matches)

Betting Tip

Match Prediction for IND vs SA

The form of Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant will be a worry as India head to England for the one of Test and white ball series. The KKR skipper hasn’t justified his position at number 3 and, slowed down the innings in the first two games of the series. Pant lost his wicket for the fourth time in this series by playing the same shot. He has now struck out ten times while hitting wider deliveries. His strike rate has been below 80 in the last two games. India has produced two outstanding bowling performances in a row. Harshal Patel took four wickets in the third game, and Avesh Khan took four for just 18 runs this time. Axar Patel has not picked wickets but held one end. Yuzvendra Chahal got back his mojo and will play a vital role in familiar conditions.

Nothing is going well in the SA camp. Following two victories (seven in a row across all formats) against India, they have now lost two games by the biggest margins. In addition, Temba Bavuma’s injury in the fourth game has caused consternation in the camp. Quinton de Kock will bear a great deal of responsibility. He has fond memories of his time in Bangaluru. The last time de Kock scored 79 runs off 52 balls with six fours and five sixes, South Africa defeated India by nine wickets. Rassie van der Dussen has been the standout performer for South Africa in the shortest format. However, the right-hander has scored only 22 runs in the last 3 games at 70.96. South Africa should bench Tabraiz Shamsi if Kagiso Rabada is fit to play. The leggie has taken only one wicket across four games and conceded at 10 runs per over. South Africa badly missed Rabada in the death overs as they leaked 73 runs which was the turning point.

Yuzvendra Chahal has got back his mojo in the last two games. The leg spinner didn’t pick a single wicket in the first two games of the series. But Chahal has scalped five in the last two and will play a major role in familiar conditions. Having played for RCB, Chahal is well aware of the ground dimensions and his quota of four overs will have a huge bearing on the game’s outcome.

Top South Africa Player

Rassie Van Der Dussen has scored 274 runs in the last 10 T20I innings. He scored a match-winning 76 of 41 balls but has amassed only 22 runs since then at a strike rate of 70.96. Van der Dussen should be promoted to number 3 as Dwaine Pretorius is not having a significant impact with the bat. With the T20 World Cup approaching, the right-hander would be keen to prove his mettle in the shortest format.

IND vs SA Preview

India have bounced back strongly after two consecutive defeats to keep the T20I series alive. It was a picture-perfect game for the men in blue as both the departments clicked in unison. However, South Africa won’t be fussed by the defeat and will aim to clinch the series when both sides meet at Rajkot for the 4th T20I on Friday, June 17.

India

• History beckons India as they have never won a T20I series at home against the Proteas.
• India have batted first in all the three T20Is so far, so if Pant wins the toss he might look to chase.

South Africa

• South Africa has dearly missed the service of Quinton de Kock in the third T20I at Visakhapatnam. The southpaw was among the top five run-getters in IPL 2022
• South African batters failed to counter the Indian spin duo of Axar Patel and Yuzvendra Chahal and they will face another stern test on a dry wicket.

Pitch Report: Saurashtra Cricket Stadium, Rajkot

It is a batting-friendly surface, with an average first-inning score of 183. Two of the three T20Is have been won by the team chasing the score. However, fast bowlers will relish their chances on a fresh wicket. Plus, the new wicket will be of great assistance to the pacers, as monsoon winds may also play a role in the conditions.

Weather Forecast

India and South Africa will be welcomed by partly cloudy weather conditions in Rajkot on Tuesday. The wind speed and humidity will be around 57 percent and 21 km/h while the temperature can hover in the range from 28 degrees Celsius to 37 degrees celsius.

IND vs SA Probable Playing XI

India:

Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Yuzvendra Chahal, Deepak Hooda, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan.

South Africa:

Heinrich Klassen (wk), Temba Bavuma (c), Rassie van der Dussen, Reeza Hendricks, Wayne Parnell, David Miller, Dwaine Pretorious, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Tabraiz Shamsi, Anrich Nortje

Head to Head (Last 5 T20I Matches)

Betting Tip

Match Prediction for IND vs SA

India will be pleased to see Ruturaj Gaikwad back in form after a string of low scores in the first two games. His partner Ishan Kishan has hit the purple patch and the management would want him to continue playing as an anchor for Gaikwad before teeing off. However, Rishabh Pant is struggling time and that is a matter of concern. The stand-in skipper has scored 40 runs in the three T20Is so far. Hardik Pandya also struggled to get his rhythm as he could muster only 31 of 22 balls. The team would want a strong finish from the GT skipper. The bowlers finally clicked at Vizag with Chahal and Harshal among the pick of bowlers. The leggie bounced back with figures of 3/20 after two back-to-back insipid performances.

The batting order of South Africa collapsed for the first time in the series at Vizag as they were bundled out for 131. However, skipper Temba Bavuma has indicated that he isn’t concerned about the loss and won’t make any changes in the batting department. The availability of de Kock is unknown so Reeza Hendricks and Bavuma have to shoulder the responsibility at the top. Rassie Van der Dussen need to pull up his socks after a couple of low scores in the last two games. Heinrich Klassen was the top scorer for South Africa in the 48-run loss and will play another key role in the middle order alongside David Miller. Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje have failed to provide any breakthrough in the powerplay overs. and the spin duo of Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi has leaked plenty of runs in the middle overs. Skipper Bavuma would hope the visitors can improve in these two areas.

Top India Player

Ishan Kishan has been the stand-out performer with the bat in the first three T20Is. After having a mediocre IPL, the southpaw smashed a 48-ball 76 in the first T20I and followed it up with a breezy 34 of 21 balls in the following game. The southpaw backed it up with another fiery half-century in the third T20I as he put on a 97-run stand for the first wicket with Gaikwad. The team would want Kishan to play his natural game and take full toll of the powerplay overs.

Top South Africa Player

Dwaine Pretorius has excelled both with bat and ball in the three games so far. Batting at number 3, the right-hander amassed 53 runs with a strike rate of 155.34. He has been the pick of bowlers as well after having taken 4 wickets in three games. Pretorius is a vital asset to the team who can play as a floater and bowl at the death as well.

IND vs SA Preview

Heinrich Klassen and bowlers help South Africa take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the five-match T20I series. The Proteas are on the brink of another series win against team India. The hosts must buckle up and come back strong in the third T20 international at Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam on Tuesday, June 14.

India

• India are feeling the heat as they have never lost a T20I series at home since 2018/19.
• India displayed a batting masterclass in Delhi but failed even to cross 150, and that hurt as few more runs in the bank would have made the game more exciting.

South Africa

• Klassen, who got an opportunity in place of Quinton de Kock after the southpaw injured himself, rattled India with a counter-attacking 81 of juts 46 balls after the India bowlers gave a few early jitters.
• The Proteas have never lost a T20I series in India. The last time they toured India, the scoreline was 1-1.

Pitch Report: CA-VDCA Stadium, Visakhapatnam

The new wicket will provide plenty of assistance for the pacers, who could benefit from monsoon rains in the state. In addition, due to the recent overcast conditions, there is enough moisture on the pitch to assist the spinners as well.

Weather Forecast

India and South Africa will be welcomed by partly cloudy weather conditions in Visakhapatnam on Tuesday. The wind speed and humidity will be around 80 percent and 15 km/h while the temperature can hover in the range from 28 degrees Celsius to 34 degrees celsius.

IND vs SA Probable Playing XI

India:

Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Yuzvendra Chahal, Deepak Hooda, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan.

South Africa:

Heinrich Klassen (wk), Temba Bavuma (c), Rassie van der Dussen, Reeza Hendricks, Wayne Parnell, David Miller, Dwaine Pretorious, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Tabraiz Shamsi, Anrich Nortje

Betting Tip

Match Prediction for IND vs SA

Rishabh Pant has already raised a few eyebrows in the first T20Is and he will continue to be the center of attraction to see whether the southpaw is the right man to lead India in the foreseeable future. Consecutive losses have raised a few questions about his ability to use the bowlers effectively. Only Ishan Kishan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have been the sliver lining for India in the two T20Is so far. Ruturaj Gaikwad has amassed only 24 runs and the management can go back to Venkatesh Iyer. Axar Patel hasn’t performed to his expectations so Deepak Hooda might get a look in considering he can bowl a few overs of off-spin. Ideally, Yuzvnedra Chahal locks eight overs of spin but the purple cap holder has struggled with consistency. Chahal need to back his rhythm otherwise it will be curtains for team India.

SA captain Temba Bavuma will be relieved that things are going according to plan. Due to an injury, South Africa lost Quinton de Kock prior to the game. Klassen, his replacement, did the job for SA. If De Kock is able to play, Reeza Hendricks will most likely lose his starting spot. Rassie Van der Dussen was out very cheaply and will look to make amends in the third T20I. Van der Dussen is a key cog in South Africa’s batting wheel alongside Miller. Rabada, Parnell, and Nortje will spearhead South Africa’s pace attack. The trio allowed only 6.16 runs per over while taking four wickets. SA will take into account using two spinners in the future. Maharaj and Shamsi both have 11 and 12 economies, respectively. Shamsi has yet to create a wicket account. Lungi Ngidi is ready to take his place in the third T20I.

Ishan Kishan has been the stand-out performer with the bat in the first two T20Is. After having a mediocre IPL, the southpaw smashed a 48-ball 76 in the first T20I and followed it up with a breezy 34 of 21 balls in the following game. With Ruturaj struggling, Kishan has taken the onus on himself to provide the team with a good start. Team India would want him to play his natural game and put India in a position of strength in the 3rd T20I.

Top South Africa Player

Klassen will be the key player for the Proteas having played cracking innings on a tough pitch. The 30-year-old took the Indian spin attack to the cleaners having scored 28 and 18 of Yuzi and Axar. This hurt India as spinners have been their go-to option in tough situations. The right-hander loves playing against India and scored his second fifty against the men in blue in T20Is.

David Miller’s masterclass and Rassie Van Dussen’s later flourish helped South Africa take an important lead in the five-match T20I series. India will look to make amends when both the teams meet at the Barabati Stadium, Cuttack on June 12, Sunday.

India

• The batters did well to post a mammoth 211 runs, their highest T20I score against the Proteas.
• However, the bowlers leaked plenty, especially in the death overs, and will need to make quick corrections in order to make a comeback in the series.

South Africa

• The Proteas endured their highest successful run chase in the T20Is, surpassing 207 against the West Indies in the inaugural season of the T20 World Cup.
• The Proteas batters will be oozing confidence after such a morale-boosting win.

Pitch Report: Barabati Stadium, Cuttack

Only two T20Is have been played at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. Coincidentally in both the games, one team was bowled out for less than 100. The last time India and South Africa played at this venue in 2015, Imran Tahir and Albie Morkel ran through the batting order, as India were bundled out for 92. The pitch is known to aid the spinners due to the uneven bounce off the surface.

Weather Forecast

India and South Africa will be welcomed by partly cloudy weather conditions in Cuttack on Sunday. The rain gods might appear as the game will progress. This might be a relief for the Proteas after playing in the scorching heat of Delhi. The wind speed and humidity will be around 64 percent and 16 km/h while the temperature can hover in the range from 27 degrees Celsius to 32 degrees celsius.

IND vs SA Probable Playing XI

India:

Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal

South Africa:

Quinton de Kock (wk), Temba Bavuma (c), Rassie van der Dussen, Tristan Stubbs, Wayne Parnell, David Miller, Dwaine Pretorious, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Tabraiz Shamsi, Anrich Nortje

Head to Head (Last 5 T20I Matches)

Betting Tip

Match Prediction for IND vs SA

In the first of five T20Is at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, India posted a commanding total of 211 thanks to Ishan Kisan’s 76-run knock-off 48 deliveries. Hardik Pandya was brutal against Wayne Parnell, Anrich Nortje, and Kagiso Rabada, scoring 31 runs from 12 balls at the death. However, the bowling let them down between overs 15-20. The pacers including Bhuvi, Avesh, and Harshal couldn’t stop Miller and co. Axar Patel also failed to make an impact with the ball and will be keen to make full use of the spin-friendly conditions at Cuttack.

South Africa were down and out when the third wicket fell at 82. The asking rate was steadily climbing with each passing ball and by the time Miller reached the crease, it jumped to 14. With the equation reading 56 needed to win from 24 deliveries, India appeared to have the match in hand. The slow and steady Rassie van der Dussen, on the other hand, went full throttle in the next two overs to reduce the required run rate to six per over as Harshal and Bhuvneswar each conceded 22 runs. The Proteas might cut down on a pacer and go with an extra-spinning option.

Top India Player

Yuzvendra Chahal had a forgetful day against the Proteas and Rishabh Pant didn’t bowl him the full quota. However, the IPL 2022 purple cap holder will be keen to rectify his mistakes. Yuzi is expected to play an important role in the second T20I, hoping to take advantage of the spin-friendly conditions. The last time Chahal played here, he bagged a four-wicket haul.

Top South Africa Player

Van der Dussen started his first T20I innings cautiously, scoring 22 runs off 25 deliveries. After switching bats, he smashed 44 runs off the next 16 balls to lead South Africa to a hard-fought victory. Shreyas Iyer gave Rassie van der Dussen a lifeline by dropping a dolly at deep midwicket, but the former and other fielders will be cautious this time. Van der Dussen will once again be the key for South Africa along with Miller.

IND vs SA Preview

After the completion of yet another eventful season of IPL, India are all set to play against South Africa in a five-match T20I series. The first T20 International between the two sides will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on June 9, Thursday.

India

• India are unbeaten in the last 12 T20Is and a win against the Proteas will make the first team to win 13 matches on a trot.
• However, the men in India have been served a huge blow as stand-in skipper KL Rahul and leg spinner Kuldeep Yadav have been ruled out of the T20I series due to injury.

South Africa

• South Africa, on the other hand, have never lost a T20I in India and will look to maintain that record.
• The Temba Bavuma-led side have players who performed admirably in the recently concluded IPL. Hence we are up for some exciting contests between these two sides.

Pitch Report: Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi

Arun Jaitely Stadium in New Delhi, also known as Ferozeshah Kotla, usually has a slower pitch. The outfield, on the other hand, is usually quick due to the small boundaries. As a result, whoever gets to bat first will be eager to put up a total of around 170 and put pressure on the chasing side. Spinners may be able to capitalize on the slowness of the pitch.

Weather Forecast

The weather is absolutely clear for the 1st T20I between India and South Africa. However, the players will have to adjust to the extreme heat as the temperature will hover between 31 to 43 degrees celsius. The wind will blow from the northeast direction at 13-19 kmph aiding swing early on.

IND vs SA Probable Playing XI

India:

Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal

South Africa:

Quinton de Kock (wk), Temba Bavuma (c), Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, Reeza Hendricks, David Miller, Dwaine Pretorious, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Tabraiz Shamsi, Anrich Nortje

Head to Head (Last 5 T20I Matches)

Betting Tip

Match Prediction for IND vs SA

For India, the top four will be Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, and Rishabh Pant. It means India will have to leave out Deepak Hooda which is so unfair on him after having played so well in the IPL for LSG. Hardik Pandya and Dinesh Karthik will play a finisher and hope to provide a strong finish. India will go with Axar Patel as he brings in-depth to the squad with his all-around abilities. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan, Harshal Patel and Yuzvendra Chahal completes a varied attack for team India.

South Africa under Bavuma will rely on the success of Quinton de Kock, David Miller, and Kagiso Rabada in the IPL. Quinton scored 508 runs in 15 games with a strike rate of 148.07. In T20Is, he has a strong track record against India. Rassie Van der Dussen will take the third spot. So far, the right-handed batter has 933 runs in 34 games. South Africa may drop Reeza Hendricks to number 4 and let Aiden Markram open for the first few games. South Africa’s pace attack will be led by Rabada, Nortje, and Dwaine Pretorious. Rabada finished third in the leading wicket-takers table, with 23 wickets at an average of 17.65. Shamsi and Maharaj complete a potent attack for the Proteas.

Top India Player

The pitch will be helpful to the spinners, and who better to seize this opportunity than Yuzvendra Chahal? The famed spinner was at his best during the IPL, surfacing as the tournament’s leading wicket-taker with 27 scalps. Chahal’s confidence will be soaring high against the Proteas batters. He and Kuldeep took 33 wickets between them to help India seal a historic series win against South Africa back in 2018 at their own den.

Top South Africa Player

Quinton de Kock was on fire in the Indian Premier League. His knocks for the Lucknow Super Giants were commendable, as he was a key factor in the team’s success this season. His best game came against KKR when he scored a career-best 140 off just 70 balls, the third-highest individual score in IPL. The south paw would be keen to carry on with the same momentum in the upcoming games.
