India vs South Africa, 2020 1st ODI – Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report
Team News
India: The hosts would likely thrust all the three men on comeback trail straight into their XI especially since they've all proved their match fitness in a local T20 competition in Mumbai. Prithvi Shaw could continue at the top of the order, this time partnering Dhawan, even though the squad sees Shubman Gill returning to the format after a year. Pandya and Jadeja at No. 6 and 7, along with one of the two wristspinners, gives India the luxury of six frontline bowling options to address their inability to defend big totals in New Zealand. Alternatively, if they look to stretch their batting order and give Manish Pandey an extended run, Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav could both make it at the expense of Jadeja and Navdeep Saini.
Squad: Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Virat Kohli (C), KL Rahul, Manish Pandey, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah, Navdeep Saini, Kuldeep Yadav, Shubman Gill.
South Africa: The tourists had only forced changes, whatever little they made, in their three-nil whitewash of Australia. But to accommodate the returning duo of du Plessis and van der Dussen, the visitors might be handing out some pink slips for the time being. Bowling-wise, they've brought left-arm George Linde back on tour but the conditions in the lead-up may not warrant a second spinner in the line-up for them. Lungi Ngidi should be back, having given been adequately rested ahead of this short, packed tour while Temba Bavuma - due to undergo a fitness test on the sidelines of what will be their only hit in the nets before the game - remains a doubtful starter according to skipper Quinton de Kock.
Squad: Quinton de Kock (C & wk), Temba Bavuma, Rassie van der Dussen, Faf du Plessis, Kyle Verreynne, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Jon-Jon Smuts, Andile Phehlukwayo, Lungi Ngidi, Lutho Sipamla, Beuran Hendricks, Anrich Nortje, George Linde, Keshav Maharaj, Janneman Malan.
Pitch and conditions
It's amazing that there have been six completed internationals in Dharamsala given how much rainfall the region receives throughout the year. The last time these teams were scheduled to play a T20I here in September the game was washed out, and the same result cannot be ruled out with rain predicted on match day. That apart, history suggests Dharamsala is a field-first venue, with teams chasing winning three out of the four ODIs played here. The last time these teams met here in a T20I in 2015, South Africa chased down 200. Faf du Plessis and David Miller from the current squad were part of that XI.
Stats and trivia
Since Bumrah-Bhuvneshwar first played together in an ODI, India have a 31-10 win/loss record when both play, 19-9 when one of them plays, and 5-4 when neither of them plays.
Quinton de Kock's ODI average of 60.3 is the second-best for an opener with 500 runs or more against India
Yuzvendra Chahal has taken 20 wickets against South Africa in seven matches, most against any opposition for him. His average of 15.65 against South Africa is also his best against any opposition (excluding Hong Kong and Zimbabwe).
