South Africa vs India, RSA vs IND, Today Match Prediction 23 January 2022

sa vs ind Match Prediction & Analysis

South Africa have won the Test and ODI series winning 4 matches on a trot after they were being the underdogs in their home soil before the start of the tour. They will be hugely delighted with the way their batting line-up have stood up at difficult situations and has built huge partnerships in the middle in every match. India on the other hand are handicapped by the change in captaincy and players are looking for some inspiration and they are lacking in performance as a team. They will look to end the tour with a victory in the last game.

TEAMS PREVIEW

South Africa Preview

South Africa cruised along easily in the chase as all their top-5 batters scored 35+ runs. Openers Janneman Malan (91 runs) and Quinton De Kock (78 runs) gave momentum with their 132-run partnership at top. Temba Bavuma, Aiden markram, and Rassie Van Der Dussen continue their good work with valiant cameos.

South African bowlers kept the pressure on despite India making a big partnership in the middle overs. Keshav Maharaj, Tabriaz Shamsi, and Aiden Markram shared 4 wickets between themselves in the middle overs. Andile Phehlukwayo and Sisanda Mangala chipped in with 2 wickets each in the match to derail the Indian middle order.

Key players to bet on:

Rassie Van Der Dussen – RVD has scores of 129* & 37* in the two matches played and he is in his red hot form at the moment. We expect him to make a big contribution to South Africa`s batting in this match too.

Tabraiz Shamsi – Shamsi dspite going for runs kept attacking the batters and claimed 2 wickets each in both matches. We expect him to trouble the Indian batters in the middle overs in this final ODI match too.

India Preview

KL Rahul (55 runs) and Rishabh Pant (85 runs) shared a brilliant 115-run partnership in the last game with Pant being the aggressor. India`s top-4 have made fifties but have failed to kick on with a big score in both matches. Shardul Thakur (50* & 40*) & Ravi Ashwin (25*) has made some valiant runs in the lower order for the team.

Jasprit Bumrah has been a class apart in the Indian bowling attack troubling the batters consistently and Ravi Ashwin has been very unlucky as chances has been put down of his bowling mostly. Shardul Thakur and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar have been leaking a lot of runs in both matches while Yuzi Chahal is bowling well in the middle overs with good control.

Key players to bet on: 

Rishabh Pant – Pant made a brilliant 85 runs off 71 balls with 10 boundaries and 2 sixes which set the tempo of the India`s batting. He will be X-factor in the India`s batting line-up and we expect him to continue his good form in this match too.

Jasprit Bumrah – Bumrah had bowling figures of 2/48 & 1/37 in the 2 matches played so far. We expect him to continue his good form with the ball in this match too and claim more wickets and help his team win.

Shikhar Dhawan, , KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Venkatesh Iyer, Risabh Pant (wk), Ravi Ashwin, Yuzi Chahal, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah/Mohammed Siraj
