SA vs IND 2nd ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
After the opening game of the series in Johannesburg was a one-sided affair with India winning by 8 wickets and 200 balls remaining, South Africa and India go head to head on Tuesday afternoon in the second ODI in Gqeberha. South Africa were bowled out for 116 on Sunday and must bat better in this ODI! Read on as we preview this match. The game begins at 13:00 local time at St George’s Park.
South Africa were let down by their experienced batters in Sunday’s ODI with the bulk of their runs coming from Tony de Zorzi and Andile Phehlukwayo. If their big name batters can produce some big scores in this match then the team will be far more competitive.
India were exceptional with the ball in Johannesburg on Sunday after an equally impressive T20I performance there on Thursday. They can expect South Africa to be stronger in this game with the bat but India should still have enough quality to win this ODI.

SA vs IND Match Toss Prediction
With six of the last seven ODIs at this ground being won by the team batting second, we predict that both teams will want to field first if they win the toss ahead of this game on Tuesday.
SA vs IND Pitch Report
This will be the first ODI since 2019 at this venue but we saw in the T20I that there is good pace in the wicket for the quick bowlers and the stroke making batters to exploit.
The 1st innings average score is around 260 and pace bowlers are expected to do some damage.
Gqeberha Weather Report
According to the forecast, there will be plenty of cloud and humid conditions across this game on Tuesday. No rain is forecast with the temperature above 20 degrees throughout.

SA Team News
Only three days after making his T20I debut, Nandre Burger made his ODI debut in Sunday’s game and he showed some batting ability down the order to go with his bowling skills. No changes are expected for the hosts ahead of this ODI on Tuesday.
SA Key Players
- Rassie van der Dussen - Although he got his first ever ODI golden duck on Sunday, the right-hander still averages 54.00 in this format and will be keen to make amends in this game.
- Aiden Markram - The skipper was one of only two top seven batters to make a double figure score in the opening ODI. He will want to lead from the front to get his team back into the series on Tuesday.
- Keshav Maharaj - It was tough for the experienced spinner to have much of an impact on Sunday due to the low total India were chasing. However, he has an excellent Test record in Gqeberha and will fancy his chances in this ODI.
- Wiaan Mulder - The pace bowling all-rounder impressed with his full length and tight lines in the first ODI. He also picked up the wicket of opener Ruturaj Gaikwad.
- David Miller - Miller did not score runs in the 1st ODI but that does not take away the fact that he is one of the top white-ball players in South Africa. We are backing him for a good knock in the 2nd match. Miller has scored 4448 runs in 171 ODI matches so far at an average of 42.36.
SA Team Form
The heavy defeat in Johannesburg on Sunday means that South Africa have now lost three of their last four ODIs.
South Africa Predicted Playing 11
Reeza Hendricks, Tony de Zorzi, Aiden Markram (c), Rassie van der Dussen, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), David Miller, Wiaan Mulder, Andile Phehlukwayo, Nandre Burger, Keshav Maharaj, Tabraiz Shamsi

IND Team News
After such a brilliant performance on Sunday, it would be a huge surprise if KL Rahul announced any changes at the toss ahead of this ODI. Deepak Chahar is no longer available for this game or the rest of the series due to a family medical emergency.
IND Key Players
- Shreyas Iyer - The number three batter produced another fluent half-century in Johannesburg with an innings which included six fours and one six.
- Ruturaj Gaikwad - After missing the T20I series due to illness, the opener returned to the side for Sunday’s first ODI. He has a top score of 71 in this format but needs a score after hitting only 5 in Johannesburg.
- Arshdeep Singh - The left-arm opening swing bowler produced his second international 5-wicket haul in the opening game of the series and South Africa’s batters will be wary of facing him early in the innings on Tuesday.
- Avesh Khan - On any other day, his figures on Sunday of 4/27, including three maidens, would have been enough for the Player of the Match Award. He is playing at a high level in international cricket at the moment.
- Kuldeep Yadav - Kuldeep Yadav is not a kind of spinner who you can rule out even if pitch favours the pace. He picked 6 wickets in 2 T20Is and then picked 1 in the 1st ODI. We are backing him to pick more wickets in this match. Kuldeep has picked 168 wickets in 102 ODI matches so far.
IND Team Form
India have won 14 of their last 16 ODIs and have won by significant margins across many of those games.
India Predicted Playing 11
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sai Sudharsan, Shreyas Iyer, Tilak Varma, KL Rahul (c) (wk), Sanju Samson, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Avesh Khan

South Africa vs India Betting Odds

Who will win South Africa vs India 2nd ODI Match?
Nothing went well for South Africa on Sunday whereas India were unstoppable. That said, South Africa do have plenty of top internationals, particularly in their batting line-up, who should perform better in this game. The teams should be better matched in this ODI but India look like the top team once more.
🏆 South Africa vs India Prediction
It was a dominant performance from India at the Wanderers Stadium on Sunday and South Africa must respond in this game or they could lose the series at the first opportunity. With a stronger batting display, the hosts can put the pressure back on India and we expect to see that happen in this game. However, overall, India still look the more confident and stronger side. We are backing India to win.
