Preview:
Although it was anticipated that India would defeat Sri Lanka, none anticipated this crushing defeat. India was asked to bat first and eventually scored 357-8. Then, Sri Lanka was bowled out for just 55 runs thanks to an outstanding performance by Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami, and Jasprit Bumrah. India’s bowlers have been dominating the competition and currently seem to be nearly unstoppable.
Mohammed Shami’s presence in particular has increased the potency of the bowling assault. Shami has taken 14 wickets at an incredible average of 6.71 and an economy of 4.27 in just three games.
However, before Shami, the opposition batsmen would have to contend with Mohammed Siraj (9 wickets in 7 innings at 34) and Jasprit Bumrah (15 wickets in 7 innings at 14.60).
If that isn’t enough, India also has two outstanding middle-overs performers in Kuldeep Yadav (10 wickets in 7 innings at 26.40) and Ravindra Jadeja (9 wickets in 7 innings at 23.33).
Naturally, India’s batting is always potent, with skipper Rohit Sharma setting the example. The mainstays of this batting lineup have been Virat Kohli (442 runs in 7 innings at 88.40) and Rohit (402 runs in 7 innings at an average of 57.42).
Shubman Gill (92 off 92 balls) and Shreyas Iyer (82 off 56 balls) scored some runs against Sri Lanka, which would also make India delighted.
Despite his subdued recent performances, we anticipate that KL Rahul will have a significant game against South Africa.
Full Squad:
Rohit Sharma (c), Hardik Pandya (vc), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Ravichandran Ashwin Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav.

South Africa (Match Odds- 2.45)
Preview:
South Africa recently defeated New Zealand by an overwhelming 190 runs in Pune. They only need to win one more game to guarantee their place in the semifinals after their sixth victory. But they’ve already secured 12 points and a remarkable 2.290 net run rate. Thus, even in the event that they lose this game, they will still have a great opportunity to advance.
In this World Cup, South Africa’s hitters have been very dominant against opposing teams. The Proteas have already produced totals above 300 five times in the seven games they have played!
Quinton de Kock has always been a man with a goal. Right now, the tournament’s top run scorer is the opening batsman, with 545 runs at an average of 77.85 in 7 innings.
The middle order has benefited greatly from the consistency offered by Aiden Markram (362 runs in 7 innings at 60.33) and Rassie van der Dussen (353 runs in 7 innings at 50.42).
South Africa’s middle order and openers consistently lay the groundwork for players like David Miller (220 runs in 7 innings at 129.41) and Heinrich Klaasen (315 runs in 7 innings with a strike rate of 151.44) to go crazy in the closing stages of the game.
Marco Jansen is one of the bowlers who has been outstanding in the powerplay overs and consistently takes wickets in nearly every match. With 16 scalps under his belt, he is one of the competition’s best wicket-takers.
Gerald Coetzee (14 wickets in 6 innings at 21.78) and Kagiso Rabada (11 wickets in 6 innings at 21.36) have also been doing admirably.
Full Squad:
Temba Bavuma (c), Gerald Coetzee, Quinton de Kock, Reeza Hendricks, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Andile Phehlukwayo, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi, Rassie van der Dussen, Lizaad Williams.

India vs South Africa Head-To-Head:
India and South Africa have played each other five times in the history of the ODI World Cup. The Proteas have triumphed three times, while India has won twice.
India vs South Africa Toss Prediction:
It’s usually a smart idea to bat first in Eden Gardens. 19 of the 33 ODIs that have been played here have been won by the team batting first, and 13—including the most recent match between Pakistan and Bangladesh—have been won by the chasing team. In this India vs South Africa match, we believe the team that won the toss will probably bat first.
India vs South Africa Pitch Report:
A great surface for ODIs is the Eden Gardens pitch. It gives the fast bowlers some zip, and the spinners some turn and bounce. But after the adversity has passed, hitters may rely on the real bounce and score significant runs in this India vs South Africa situation. Set players can make a killing since the boundaries are short and the outfield is quick.

India vs South Africa Match Report:
Both teams appear to be virtually unbeatable this time. The batting attack of South Africa will square off against the bowling attack of India in this encounter. It will be interesting to watch which unit wins because both seem to be in excellent shape. South Africa possesses the batting strength to completely crush India and force them out of the match, thus this is a really difficult one to call. However, they have a small advantage due to home-field advantage and general balance. We believe that India is winning this game by a slight margin.
India is predicted to win the India vs South Africa match at the odds of 1.55
India vs South Africa Most Recommended Player to Bet:
