Match Preview:
The T20I series between South Africa and India will likely kick off in Gqeberha after the first game in Durban was washed out before the toss. The 20-20 leg of the tour will be crucial as both teams will want to find players for the 2024 T20 World Cup, scheduled to take place in the West Indies and the USA. Both teams had a disappointing ODI World Cup and will want to put in some top performances in this series.
Toss Prediction:
South Africa has a better chance to win the toss as they have won more tosses over the last three T20Is than India.
Win Possibility:
Despite missing some big names, the Indian team, led by Suryakumar Yadav, can beat South Africa and take a 1-0 in the series. The conditions may seem foreign for the Men in Blue, but the quality and talent of players can help India continue its winning form after defeating Australia in a five-game T20I series 4-1. The batting has been in top form with the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Yashasvi Jaiswal and others scoring fluently. While the bowling attack could benefit from the seam-friendly conditions.
Predicted powerplay score and Average first innings total:
St George's Park in Gqeberha has allowed the batters to score runs while providing bowlers help as the game progresses. The average 1st innings score is 99 over the three T20I games. At the same time, the predicted powerplay score is expected to be between 45 - 55.
