India eye series win against SA on Pink day

India play SA on Pink day
India will play South Africa on Saturday in the fourth ODI
India are set to play South Africa in the fourth ODI on Saturday as the series moves ahead. India once again go into this game as the favorites.

Date and Time : 10th February 2018, 4:30 PM IST

Venue : Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg

India already lead the series 3-0 and will be eyeing a historic bilateral ODI series win against SA in SA. Although South Africa will be boosted by the return of AB de Villiers.

So far India have done well with both Bat and Bowl and another similar performance will see them triumph over the Proteas. The home side so far has been unable to read the spinners.

If South Africa are to make a comeback in the series than they will have to score 300 plus if batting first while restrict India to maybe below 200 if bowling first.

The pitch here is perfect for scoring runs and teams chasing have won more day-night ODI’s here than teams batting first. So the captain who wins the toss will like to bowl first.

India doesn’t have a particularly great record at the Wanderers as they have only won once out of the four ODI’s they played here.


Team news and possible line-ups

AB de Villiers is back from injury and should play on Saturday. While Farhaan Behardien is also available and South Africa might be tempted to play him. Also Lungi Ngidi who had a poor ODI debut in Cape Town will probably be replaced by Morne Morkel.

As for India, they will likely stick with the same playing XI as in the previous game.

South Africa XI : Markram, Amla, De Villiers, Klaasen, Duminy, Behardien, Morris, Phehlukwayo, Rabada, Morkel, Tahir.

India XI : R. Sharma, Dhawan, Kohli, Rahane, Jadhav, Dhoni, H. Pandya, B. Kumar, K. Yadav, Chahal, Bumrah.

Prediction

I think it should be a close game but India should win it in the end.
