After an entertaining IT20 series concluded on Tuesday evening in Indore, India and South Africa begin a three-match ODI series in Lucknow on Thursday afternoon. This is the second time the sides have met in an ODI series this year after playing three games in South Africa in January. Read on as we preview this day-night fixture. This game gets underway at the Ekana Cricket Stadium at 13:30 local time.
Under the leadership of Shikhar Dhawan, India have continued to play good cricket and win ODIs over recent months. They will be very confident in home conditions.
South Africa put in an excellent display in the final IT20 on Tuesday and have some white ball batters in excellent form. They will play in an aggressive manner with the bat.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on the Star Sports Network and Utsav Gold.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney+ Hotstar.
India and South Africa both prefer to chase a total in white ball cricket. We predict that they will both choose to field first if they win the toss.
There is something for all types of bowlers in this pitch in Lucknow. We expect a par score to be no higher than 300 in this game.
It will be very humid throughout this clash and there will also be a high chance of thunderstorms interrupting. The temperature will be in the mid-20s from start to finish.
Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for India vs South Africa 1st ODI Match 2022
The India side will be almost unrecognisable from the side who played in the IT20 series against South Africa with all the frontline players rested ahead of the T20 World Cup. Mohammed Siraj, Deepak Chahar and Shreyas Iyer are the only players who have combined both series.
India have won their last seven ODIs with wins against England, West Indies and Zimbabwe.

Shikhar Dhawan (c), Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson (wk), Rahul Tripathi, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Deepak Chahar
We expect to see many of the same players who took part in the IT20 series involved in this game for the visitors. Although Janneman Malan and Heinrich Klaasen are likely to come into the team, we predict that South Africa will use this series as further white ball practice for their top T20 players.
South Africa lost their last ODI but have won two of their last four games with victories over England and Bangladesh.
Janneman Malan, Quinton de Kock (wk), Temba Bavuma (c), Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, David Miller, Dwaine Pretorius, Keshav Maharaj, Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi
South Africa have the overall lead by 14 games in ODIs. The two teams played each other in a three match ODI series earlier this year with South Africa winning 3-0 at home.

Even though South Africa won Tuesday’s IT20 and the last three ODIs between the teams, the bookies are backing India to win this opening match of the series.

The strength in depth in Indian cricket is immense and, even though they will not put out their strongest XI, it will take a big performance from South Africa to win this clash.
We are backing Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer with the bat for India. Iyer averages 42.61 in this format.
Quinton de Kock, Janneman Malan and David Miller are our batting picks for South Africa. Miller averages 40.67 from 124 innings in ODIs.
Our bowling tips are Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav and Avesh Khan for India. Thakur has 36 wickets in ODI cricket and should be able to utilise the overhead conditions in this match.
Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi and Anrich Nortje are our bowling recommendations for South Africa. Nortje has 28 wickets at an average of 24.03.
With the T20 World Cup just around the corner, this series will be another entertaining example of white ball international cricket. We expect South Africa to put in a strong performance but are predicting India to win this game to go 1-0 up in the series.
