India vs South Africa 1st ODI Match Prediction: While the Indian players and management continue to reel from the Test series loss against South Africa, they must now focus on the task ahead: a three-match ODI series against Temba Bavuma’s side.
The three-ODI rubber will begin on Sunday in Ranchi. India suffered a 2-1 defeat in their last ODI series in Australia. The Proteas, too, lost their last ODI series by the same scoreline in Pakistan earlier this month, but prior to that they had registered ODI series triumphs in England and Australia.
India vs South Africa 1st ODI Match Prediction:
Three first-choice Indian players, including the captain, will miss the ODI series against Australia due to injuries: Shubman Gill (neck), Shreyas Iyer (spleen laceration), and Hardik Pandya (quadriceps). KL Rahul will captain the side.
Ravindra Jadeja returns to the ODI side after being left out from the Australia tour, while Axar Patel is excluded this time. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj are rested.
For South Africa, skipper Bavuma will make his comeback in ODIs after missing the series in Pakistan due to an injury. In Pakistan, Quinton de Kock made his return to ODIs from retirement. Interestingly, Tristan Stubbs has not been picked for the ODIs.
