South Africa vs India 4th T20I will be played at the iconic Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg, on Friday. With this game, the India Tour of South Africa 2024 comes to an end. 

The Proteas don’t have the option of winning the series, but all they can do is level it 2-2. They fought tirelessly in the 3rd T20I, however, ending up short by 11 runs while chasing a colossal 219. Marco Jansen’s stellar all-round efforts (54 runs and one wicket) couldn’t stop them from losing.

Heinrich Klaasen too delivered a rapid 41 runs that kept the chase interesting. In the first half, they got smacked to all parts, except for Marco Jansen, who finished with figures of 1 for 28. Andile Simelane and Keshav Maharaj bagged 2 wickets each but gave away runs easily.

India are in the hunt and want to wrap up the series 3-1, following a hard-fought win in the 3rd T20I. Tilak Varma, who was promoted to No. 3, set the stage on fire with an unbeaten 107*, which was his maiden T20I century. Abhishek Sharma, who was having a lean patch, came back to form with an explosive 50 runs from 25 balls. The experimentation of playing with only a genuine seamer almost backfired as they pushed it till the final over and ended up conceding 208 for 7. 

SA vs IND, 4th T20I Match Analysis

South Africa Team Preview

Probable Playing XI – Ryan Rickelton, Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram (c), Tristan Stubbs, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), David Miller, Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee, Andile Simelane, Keshav Maharaj, Nqabayomzi Peter / Lutho Sipamla.

The bowling didn’t go in the favor of South Africa in the 3rd T20I at SuperSport Park, Centurion, as they conceded an excess of 200 for the second time in the series. The absence of front-line seamers Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi was seen during the losses in the 1st T20I and 3rd T20I. 

It was not a great decision to send India to bat first on a batting belter and they paid a heavy price for their poor strategy. Marco Jansen ripped off Sanju Samson for no score in the 2nd ball of the innings, after that the rest of the bowlers became just spectators by witnessing fireworks from Indian batters. 

There were a lot of positives to think about in their marginal 11-run loss, where Marco Jansen produced an unbelievable knock of 54 from 17 balls, which was filled with 4 fours and 5 sixes. Everyone in the top 7, got the double-digit scores but they were left behind in the asking run-rate during the middle overs. With hopes of winning the series already vanished, they are eyeing to level it 2-2.

India Team Preview

Probable Playing XI – Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi / Ramandeep Singh, Avesh Khan, Varun Chakravarthy. 

India, who are known for producing new match-winners now and then, used the SA vs IND T20I series as a perfect platform to give rise to Tilak Varma, who hammered an unbeaten 107* runs in the 3rd T20I. Abhishek Sharma’s belligerent 50 at a strike rate of 200 was the other notable batting display in the winning cause. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav found it difficult to defend a huge 220 target as he was left with only 5 bowling options. He didn’t risk bringing in Ramandeep Singh, who could have bowled 2 overs. Left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh stood out with a 3-fer. 

Men in Blue are already in the safe zone as they can’t lose the series, where they are currently leading by a 2-1 margin.

Venue and Pitch Report

It’s a great place for the batters to showcase their big-hitting skills. The average 1st innings score is around 170, having said that, the team chasing holds a 48.5 percent win record overall in the T20Is. Fast bowlers will be expensive but will likely get wickets. Spinners don’t concede runs easily, however, their chances of picking up more wickets are slim.

The South Africa vs India 3rd T20I will be played on Wednesday at SuperSport Park, Centurion. The series is levelled at 1-1, following South Africa’s impressive comeback in the 2nd T20I where they scripted 3 wickets victory with an over to spare. Bowlers pulled up their socks and there was a complete shift in their performance compared to the 1st T20I and were able to limit the visitors to a paltry 124 for 6 in the allotted 20 overs. Later, Tristan Stubbs delivered the best knock under pressure with an unbeaten 47*, and Gerald Coetzee’s late cameo of 19* guided them to a win.

World T20 Champions, India, who comfortably won the 1st T20I by 61 runs, went down in the follow-up by a close margin with an over to spare, despite a stellar bowling effort from Varun Chakravarthy, who bagged his maiden 5-fer in the T20Is. The batters weren’t proud of their shot selection, losing 3 wickets inside 4 overs. Rebuilding acts from Tilak Varma (20) and Axar Patel (27) slightly brought them back into the game. Hardik Pandya’s unusual innings of 39* runs from 45 balls took visitors above the 120-run mark. 

SA vs IND, 3rd T20I Match Analysis

South Africa Team Preview

Probable Playing XI – Ryan Rickelton, Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram (c), Tristan Stubbs, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), David Miller, Marco Jansen, Andile Simelane, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Nqabayomzi Peter. 

South Africa had every right to celebrate the victory in the 2nd T20I as they escaped from a painful stumble in the middle, losing 3 wickets quickly from 64 to 66. Tristan Stubbs’ maturity was on point throughout his unbeaten 47*, where he hit 7 fours, and speedster Gerald Coetzee’s quick-fire 9-ball 19* was a surprise element in the winning cause. The victory was badly needed for them in the context of the series as they levelled at 1-1 with 2 games to be played.

In the first half, on a wicket offering plenty of bounce, Proteas bowlers maximized the conditions to good effect to keep India under pressure, restricting them to a modest 124. Nqabayomzi Peter was the pick of the bowlers, returning figures of 1 for 20.

The lack of runs from their prolific middle-order duo of Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller is keeping them on the back foot. If both rediscover their form, they will just become unstoppable. 

India Team Preview

Probable Playing XI – Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma,  Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Varun Chakravarthy. 

India’s loss in the 2nd T20I was due to top-order failure and death bowling lapses. The Men in Blue put on their best show in the middle overs of both innings, with Tilak Varma, Axar Patel, and Hardik Pandya scoring important runs. Despite defending the lowest total, the Men in Blue gave their everything, but they failed to secure a win in the neck-to-neck contest. 

Mystery spinner, Varun Chakravarthy delivered a magical show with the ball, picking up a 5-fer to create a winning feeling that didn’t last long. Life came in one full circle for Sanju Samson, who scored a century (107) in the series opener and bagged a duck in the 2nd T20I. 

Despite getting frequent chances at the top, Abhishek Sharma hasn’t utilized the opportunity to the best as his last 7 innings scores are 4, 7, 4, 15, 16, 14, and 10, and might get one last chance in the 3rd T20I. Will they bring a change to their bowling setup, we need to wait and watch.

After thumping Bangladesh in the three-match T20I series last month, the Indian T20I cricket team, which has a lot of new faces, will be going on their first overseas assignment in South Africa, which will be a challenging one. On the tricky and bouncy pitches of South Africa, this series will be the real test for the T20 World Champions.

This four-match series, including the two matches against Ireland, will be just the second T20I series the Proteas play after their World Cup final defeat against India. These two teams played in the edge-of-the-seat thriller final match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 in June.

The upcoming matches and the SA vs Ind T20 2024 series will be played on South African pitches that offer a lot of uneven bounce for the bowlers. The fast bowlers will enjoy bowling here, and the batters will also receive some help as the ball will come nicely on the bat and plenty of run-scoring opportunities will be there.

The series will begin on November 8, 2024, with the first match to be played in the Kingsmead Stadium, Durban. It is going to be a thrilling series with both teams having competitive sides who can score a lot of runs. Below is the complete preview of the forthcoming SA vs Ind series on the GUGOBET cricket betting app.

What is India’s win rate against South Africa?

As far as the shortest format is concerned, India has a superior win rate to South Africa in the matches played between these two teams in T20Is. Out of the total 27, India has won 15 whereas the Proteas have won only 11. One match ended with no result earlier. This counts for almost 56% of the win rate by India against South Africa in T20 international matches.

What are the odds for India vs South Africa?

As it stands, the home team are the favourites to win the series against the men in blue by a slight margin. The home advantage has worked in South Africa’s favour a bit as both teams stand an equal chance of winning at any neutral venue. South Africa have a 52% chance of winning the match and the series, whereas India have 48%.

What are India’s chances in the WTC final?

After three shocking and humiliating defeats against the New Zealand cricket team at home, Team India finds themselves in a precarious position concerning the ICC World Test Championship 2023-2025 final. On their upcoming tour to Australia for the Border-Gavaskar trophy, they need to win at least four matches and lose zero to qualify for the final without depending on any other teams. They could still make it to the final if they don’t win four matches and other results go their way.

How many matches should South Africa win to qualify for the WTC final?

South Africa needs to win a maximum of their pending test matches to qualify for the WTC final 2025. They will be playing all the matches at home and will have an advantage over any team that will be visiting the South African shores. At the moment, the Proteas seem to be the favourites to qualify for the World Test Championship final.

South Africa vs India: Squads

The squads of both South Africa and India for the upcoming India tour of South Africa 2024 are mentioned below, along with the complete analysis and predicted playing 11s.

South Africa

South Africa Squad: Aiden Markram (c), Ottneil Baartman, Gerald Coetzee, Donovan Ferreira, Reeza Hendricks, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Patrick Kruger, Keshav Maharaj, David Miller, Mihlali Mpongwana, Nqaba Peter, Ryan Rickelton, Andile Simelane, Lutho Sipamla, and Tristan Stubbs

One big name missing from the squad is Kagiso Rabada, who has been rested for this series to get prepared for the upcoming crucial test matches against Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Tabrazi Shamsi and Anrich Nortje have also not been selected in the squad. Marco Jansen and Gerald Coetzee are once again back in the team after recovering from their respective injuries. Some new and uncapped additions are there in the squad as well, such as Nqaba Peter, Andile Simelane, Patrick Kruger, etc.

Reeza Hendricks and Rickelton will bat at the top, whereas Markram, Stubbs, Klassen, and Miller will be a part of the middle order. Nqaba Peter might make his debut as the second spinner alongside Keshav Maharaj in the series. The three fast bowlers will be Gerald Coetzee, Marco Jansen, and Ottneil Baartman. Lutho Simpala might also get a game going forward in the series on more pace-friendly pitches.

South Africa Predicted Playing 11: Reeza Hendricks, Ryan Rickelton, Aiden Markram (c), Tristan Stubbs, Heinrich Klassen (wk), David Miller, Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Nqaba Peter, and Ottneil Baartman.

India

India Squad: Suryakumar Yadav (c), Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wk), Rinku Singh, Tilak Varma, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ramandeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Avesh Khan, and Yash Dayal

It is confirmed that Suryakumar Yadav will continue to lead the Indian team in the shortest format of the game. The Indian squad travelling to play against the Proteas this time around consists of a lot of young players who might be going for the first time as international cricketers. Due to some last-minute injuries, Mayank Yadav, Riyan Parag, and Shivam Dube have been replaced by Yash Dayal, Vijaykumar Vyshak, and Ramandeep Singh in the team. The rest of the team is almost similar to the one that played against Bangladesh.

Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson will open the innings, with Suryakumar Yadav all set to bat at number 3 in the series. Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, and Rinku Singh will take care of the middle order. Axar Patel and Ravi Bishnoi will be the two spinners, whereas Vijaykumar Vyshak and Yash Dayal will be making their T20I debut in this upcoming India tour of South Africa.

India Predicted Playing 11: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wk), Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan, and Yash Dayal.

South Africa vs India: Winner Prediction

Both teams are competitive and have a strong roster. South Africa lacks a little in the fast bowling department, although they have a sensational middle order. India has a fantastic batting lineup but lacks experience, and it cannot be predicted how they will perform on these tough pitches.

Adding to this the home advantage that the Proteas have, it is going to be a huge task for the Indian players to win this series. However, this new-age Indian team fears none and can do the unthinkable. We expect the series to be a close-fought contest right from the beginning and end with a scoreline of 3-1 in favour of the visitors.

South Africa vs India: Key Players

It is now time to predict and see which players could hold the key for their respective teams in this upcoming series, which is very important for both nations to start their preparations for the next T20 World Cup.

South Africa

Many batters in this team are game-changers, such as Aiden Markram, David Miller, Reeza Hendricks, or Heinrich Klaasen, but we are putting our money on Tristan Stubbs to be the x-factor player in this series for the home team. Stubbs is a magnificent cricket player who can tonk the ball as far as possible and can also build the innings. In the last 10 T20Is, he has scored 245 runs at an average of almost 40 and a strike rate of over 151. Stubbs is someone who can save a lot of runs in the field as well and will be the key batter for South Africa in the series.

As for the bowlers, we predict the left-arm pace of Marco Jansen and the left-arm spin of Keshav Maharaj could be difficult to play for the Indian batters.

India

If we go a little out of the box, we are thinking that Abhishek Sharma could be the player who lights up this series with his bat and becomes India’s highest run scorer in the four T20I matches against South Africa. Abhishek is a top player of pace, and his strength is playing against the short ball. On the pitches where the bounce will be extra but the ball will come on the bat nicely, Abhishek can score huge runs at a quick pace for the Indian team. He can also give you 2-3 overs of left-arm spin if required.

The Indian bowling lineup for this series is inexperienced, and most of them will be going to South Africa for the first time in their career to play an international series. However, we predict Ravi Bishnoi to be the pick of all, as his leg-spin will be difficult for the Protean batters to play.
