India vs South Africa Chances of Winning

South Africa opted to field first in the first One Day International of their tour of India but it did not quite go in their favor. The latter went guns blazing as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli notched up 57 and 135 runs, respectively, forging a dominant 136-run partnership for the second wicket. Captain and wicket-keeper batter KL Rahul also made a valuable contribution of 60 runs, and miscellaneous scores from the rest of the team gave the hosts a solid 349-run total. South Africa’s bowling attack failed to curtail scoring but Marco Jansen, Nandre Burger, Corbin Bosch and Ottneil Baartman ended up taking two wickets apiece.

During South Africa’s chase, their top order collapsed with virtually no contributions and their middle order attempted to bring stability to their innings. Matthew Breetzke, Marco Jansen and Corbin Bosch did their absolute best by securing scores of 72, 70 and 67 runs, respectively, but they fell short of the mark by 17 runs in the end. Kuldeep Yadav and Harshit Rana were instrumental in India’s victory as they claimed four and three wickets, respectively.

India vs South Africa Prediction & Tips 2025

India to score over 30.5 before first dismissal @ 1.85 (Parimatch)

Yashasvi Jaiswal’s early dismissal in the first ODI resulted in a 25-run stand with seasoned opener Rohit Sharma. The latter went on to score a half-century and proves to be in solid form at the moment, having amassed 202 runs in three innings against Australia in their ODI series prior to this. However, Jaiswal is certainly a powerhitter and will be expected to come good in the second encounter.

Team Form

India Team Form

India’s batters were formidable in the last game and their top order knocked it out of the mark as veteran players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli set the team up for success. Their bowlers, too, held up their end of the bargain as they kept their rivals at bay.

South Africa Team Form

South Africa’s top order did not quite hit their marks and that put immense pressure on their all-rounders to complete a massive chase. Although they made it rather close, they lacked the firepower to overhaul India.

India vs South Africa Head-to-Head

South Africa continue to lead their head-to-head tally against India with 51 victories in 95 fixtures while the latter have 41 wins. Head-to-Head Record Total - 95 India - 41 South Africa - 51 No Result - 3

India vs South Africa Best Batters

Rohit Sharma to be India’s Best Batter

Rohit Sharma went hammer and tongs to score his 60th half-century in his ODI career thus far, having notched up 57 runs in the previous game. Although he was not the top scorer, he has a whopping 11427 runs in 269 innings, along with a stellar average of 49.25. He is expected to lead the charge in the next game.

Quinton de Kock to be South Africa’s Best Batter

Quinton de Kock faced a two-ball duck in the first ODI between the sides but the wicket-keeper batter was their leading run scorer in the previous series against Pakistan where he garnered 239 runs in three innings. He has the potential to bounce back and put on a big total against India in the upcoming match.

India vs South Africa Best Bowlers

Harshit Rana to be India’s Best Bowler

Harshit Rana emerged as India’s second leading wicket-taker in the last outing against South Africa where he picked three wickets in ten overs and achieved an impressive economy rate of 6.50. He currently has an average of 21.66 in the series, and he was their top bowler overall against Australia prior to this tournament. He remains the top contender for the second ODI as well.

Nandre Burger to be South Africa’s Best Bowler

As predicted, Nandre Burger was the leading bowler for South Africa last time out and he was tied for the position with a two-wicket haul in ten overs and an economy rate of 6.50. He was their top wicket-taker against Pakistan with five wickets in two innings and an average of 15.00, making him the favorite for the next encounter, too.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

India

The Proteas dominated the two-match test series against India and decimated the latter on home soil. However, they were a shadow of themselves as they kicked off the ODI series with a defeat where they allowed the hosts to secure a 300+ target. Their batters failed to pick up the slack and despite their 51-41 scoreline against India in their ODI head-to-head so far, the KL Rahul-led outfit are favored to seal the deal in the second fixture.
