IND vs SA: Ground Pitch Report

Narendra Modi Stadium is a good venue for the batters. The wicket is pretty flat, and bowlers will have very little assistance from the wicket. The toss will be vital, and chasing can be better because there might be dew. The bowlers will have a little help with the new ball as well.

IND vs SA Possible XIs

India: Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wk), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Axar Patel, Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah

South Africa: Aiden Markram (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Ryan Rickelton, Tristan Stubbs, Dewald Brevis, David Miller, George Linde, Kagiso Rabada, Corbin Bosch, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi

IND vs SA: Player to Watch Out For

Probable Best Batter

Ishan Kishan has been in prime form, and he can be very dangerous if he gets set. Quinton de Kock has exceptional numbers against India, and he always scores runs against this team.

Probable Best Bowler

Varun Chakravarthy has been India's prime wicket-taker in this format. He brings in different varieties, which makes it hard to pick. For South Africa, Keshav Maharaj can be the standout bowler in the middle.

Today Match Prediction: South Africa have a strong core, and they have a good chance. But India are strong with all bases, and we predict them to win this game.
