Team Preview of South Africa vs India 1st T20I Match Prediction 2024
South Africa is not having a great time in the T20I circuit after losing to India. They first lost the series against Afghanistan and then the West Indies. Recently, they drew the series with Ireland by 1-1, which clearly shows that they are having a hard time getting together as a team.
India test team recently suffered the most brutal series defeat against the New Zealand side where they lost the home series by 3-0 and it was the first time ever India being clean sweeped by any side at home and after 12 years they defeated at home which clearly trigged the whole nation.
It is going to be a very important series for the T20 team, who will be under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav. They won every series since he took the role of captain, and India did not lose any of the T20I matches under him, but it is not going to be an easy task as they will be facing the South African team on their own turf, where India struggled the most.
The South Africa side’s two key bowlers, Marco Jansen and Gerald Coetzee, will join the squad and are likely to be in the playing 11. From the Indian side, Ramandeep Singh and Vijaykumar Vyshak got the call-up from the Indian team. The Indian team is also going to be played under VVS Laxman’s coaching, which many fans enjoyed.
