India vs South Africa Preview – 2nd Test Cricket Predictions
So, the three-game T20I showdown between India and South Africa has been kind of messy thanks to all the drama happening off the field. Even with all that noise, India kept their eyes on the prize and stayed locked in on the Test series. They crushed South Africa by 203 runs in Visakhapatnam, which means South Africa has to win the next Test to stay alive. Oh, and Rohit Sharma totally owned the first Test, smashing two centuries with the red ball.
2nd Test Match – India vs South Africa Predictions
Ever since they got back from the ICC Cricket World Cup with a rough record, the Proteas just haven’t looked like themselves. India’s chilling at the top of the latest ICC World Test Championship rankings, and South Africa’s stuck down in seventh. Props to Dean Elgar and Quinton de Kock for clawing the deficit back to 71 runs, but India still flexed their skills in the second innings.
If South Africa wants to pull off a comeback against India, they’ll need to toughen up against India’s fast bowlers. Ishant Sharma was on fire, grabbing a wicket in the first innings, and then Mohammed Shami came in and snagged five wickets super fast in the second innings.
Indian Cricket Woes
Indian cricket coach Ravi Shastri basically said it’s totally on MS Dhoni whether he suits up for Wednesday’s game. Dhoni’s been chilling since the World Cup and already told the selectors “nah, I’m out” for the West Indies trip, which got everyone buzzing about retirement.
Even though nobody’s totally sure what’ll happen, the betting folks still think India’s got enough tricks up their sleeve to take the win on their home turf.
