Pitch Report:

The Cuttack pitch on most occasions plays slower than pitches of other popular grounds. The pitch is mostly favorable to spinners. Since a new pitch will be used in this match, we can also expect it to hit off and support batters initially. The team that wins the toss would like to bat first.

IND VS SA Probable Playing XI: 

India Probable XI: 

Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (c&wk), Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Umran Malik

IND vs SA Power Play scores:

The Power Play score for both innings is expected to be between 40 to 50 runs.   Given the pitch conditions, the first six overs would assist the team in putting up a respectable score. The team chasing will have an edge over the other.

IND vs SA Death Over scores:

As the overs progress, the dew factor could be an impactful element considering that the batting team can gain around 55+ runs in the last five overs of the match. Both the teams have great finishers with Dinesh Karthik and Hardik Pandya for India and David Miller and Van der Dussen for South Africa. With all of them being in form, we can expect to see a shower of sixes.

IND vs SA Overall scores:

Both teams can reach a score of approximately 170+ if their batters establish some momentum in the early overs of the match, especially during the Power Play overs.

IND vs SA Who wins?

What we saw in the previous match will be a lesson for team India for undermining how prepared South Africa is to face them. South Africa may take a lead in the batting department with the kind of form their middle order is in. But since Cuttack is a spinner-friendly wicket, the presence of Ashwin and Chahal will help India. South Africa will be as prepared. Team chasing will have an edge.

Match Prediction:

The absence of star players was felt by India in their previous match and they will try to not let that happen again. South Africa will bring confidence from the previous match and try to emulate their performance. They played seriously well and will count on their batters who are in beautiful form. For India, Yuzu and Chahal will make an impact and will be a deciding factor in limiting SA to a smaller total. Shreyas Iyer will try to improve on his performance. Hardik Pandya will also look forward to bowling more overs. The second game is going to be a tight one. South Africa may have an edge over India.
