Match Preview
India will play South Africa in their next clash of the ODI World Cup 2023 on November 5 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. India defeated Sri Lanka by a huge margin of 302 runs in their last fixture at the iconic Wankhede Stadium. South Africa, on the other hand, took down the 2015 and 2019 finalists by a margin of 109 runs in their previous clash.
By registering their seventh consecutive win in the tournament, the Men in Blue have already registered their berth in the playoffs.
Toss Prediction
In the last three clashes that India have played, skipper Rohit Sharma won one of the tosses. Temba Bavuma, the Proteas’ skipper also managed to win one of the three tosses in South Africa’s previous fixtures. Speaking of the forthcoming encounter at India’s oldest cricket stadium, we think that home ground factor would back the Indian skipper and he will come on top of the toss war.
Win Possibility
South Africa and India have clashed against each other in 90 ODI fixtures. In those 90 games, the Asian Giants registered a total of 37 victories, while the Proteas managed to clinch victory in 50 games. However, if we have a look at the current scenario, it goes without saying that the hosts have been playing the best cricket. After registering triumph in the Asia Cup 2023, the ODI series against Australia, and several other series in between, the two-time champions went on to win seven matches consecutively.
South Africa, on the flip side, lost one of the seven matches in the tournament. Considering this, we think that the hosts will win the upcoming match and extend their win streak to 8-0.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
Eden Gardens in Kolkata will host its third of five ODI World Cup 2023 matches as India lock horns with South Africa. Speaking of its overall record, the oldest cricket stadium in India has hosted a total of 31 ODI matches so far. The average first-inning score of the venue is 236. For the forthcoming match, we think the first-inning score is likely to be around 285-305, while the powerplay score will be 40-45.
