I am afraid its all over for india in this test match...kohli was india's only hope and he has gone out really cheaply.Still a huge lot of runs left to score,we can say that this match is now completely in south africa's pocket.

Yes unless the wall Pujara decides to just stick to the wicket even though it is without scoring any run or there is a problem of rain or light tomorrow Tongue

. These are the ways which might lead the match to draw. I think this tour has really shown Indian team its true colour. They were being thought as the kings of cricket but ofcourse the whole credit of this goes to the playing conditions here in the subcontinent. I think playing on these foreign pitches will be the real test of kohli's captaincy.

Suppose tomorrow rain does not interrupt and match play full day means I am 100% sure India will lose this test match. They need just 252 runs, but they lost 3 main wickets I don't have any hopes of Sharma and Pandya. Poojara alone what he can do. Only rain can help Indians to save this match. Let 's see what will happen.

If you ask me , I would say 60-40 in Indian favour right now. 300 below isn't sufficient and Indians have plenty of time to bat . SA must bowl tight and I know they will .

Anything above 200 is going to be extremely difficult during the 4th innings, especially in the South African pitches. And right now India is struggling at 16/2, with both Vijay and Rahul back in the pavilion. India's only hope is Virat Kohli. If he gets out, then it is over for them. And right now I would rate the match in South Africa's favor, by a margin of 80-20.

Here you say and it happens. Skipper has been found before wicket by Ngidi. Don't know if its his luck or something but Ngidi is looking really good in this second innings. Now all the hopes of the India team resides with Pujara and Rohit sharma. Don't have much faith on the wicket keeper and after that there are just a bunch of hitters with not that much class to play test cricket until now. However Ashwin could be another batsman you can look forward to.

There is a under 19 world cup going on,if anyone interested in gambling this is the perfect time to make some good money as this is the first round of matches and you will get some good odds now and then. Grin

Coming to the test series between India and South Africa it is difficult for the Indian team to win or draw this match too with the batting display they showcased till now.

India is still trailing by 152 runs and only 5 wickets left at the end of day 2. Kohli is playing on 85. If he can stay till the end then India would be near SA score and this will be a boost to them as they would not be behind and then everything will depend upon 2nd inning total of both the teams.

India has scored 307 runs in their first innings and it is a very good come back from Indian batsman particularly Indian captain who scored 153 runs in this innings. Ashwin gave him good support at the lower end to score so many runs otherwise India wouldn't have reached this total. Now SA is leading by 28 runs and if they failed to score more runs in this innings then India may give a surprise in this match.

4th day play has begun and both ABD and Elgar played well for their partnership of 100, Saf lost ABD for well made 80 under pressure and in the crucial time of the match. Lead is already 172, lead of anything above 300 is sufficient for SAF to win the match, India in a spot of bother at the moment.

The match is now drifting away from India as SA have 200 runs lead and 5 wickets still pending. Anything above 250 will be difficult to bat 4th and on last day it will be helpful for the bowlers. So I think SA will now have the upper hand till the end of the match unless India start very well with their 2nd innings batting.

With the help of ABD, Elgar and Du Plessis SA are in good position, they are lead by 281 runs last 2 batsmen are playing if they make 20 more runs then it will become a good target and 5th day chasing 300 runs is not easy. It will be an advantage for SA, and my guessing is either SA will win or else draw India have very less chance to win this match.

That is a fact if the last couple will increase the score for 20 to 30 runs, it will really be a good total and it is really too much difficult to chase the target on very last day.

SA has scored 258 runs in their second innings and for India, the target is 287 runs to win this match. Now India has scored 11 runs in four overs without losing any wicket. India requires another 276 runs to win this match. Indian batsman play responsibly then they can win this match or at least can try for a draw this match. Somehow I feel that India may try to win this match instead of draw.
