Despite this fuckery i would say this is good team but going through some bad phase (last month or so), not the other way around.

I agree with JSRAW. The real issue with the Indian team is not regarding the availability of talent. The real issue is the way this talent is being managed. The elevation of KL Rahul as the captain of the Indian team was perplexing to me. He is having a poor record as the captain, in the IPL for Punjab Kings. There were more deserving people in the team who could have captained the side. And Rahul's captaincy tactics were quite pathetic in the first two matches to be honest. Also, Dravid as the coach needs to step in and remove the toxicity from the team.

There is no shortage of talented players in the Indian team, even their second-tier team is talented enough.
Their main problem now is the lack of leadership.
Secondly, the players are not in form.
Thirdly, is the lack of confidence of the players.
I do not understand why Rahul was given the captaincy instead of Kohli. Is Rohit Sharma not more experienced than Rahul? I think Kohli is better than Rahul as captain and batsman.

Where the heck is Shami? Also, how many more chances will they keep giving Bhuvi who has been struggling for a long time now?

Even i was thinking what happened to Mohammed Shami, he is the best bowler along with Jasprit Bumrah and they are sticking with Bhuvneshwar Kumar who is not able to get the swing like he expected in these pitches.

India lost the test series and they are about to lose the ODI series which could end as a whitewash by South Africa considering how some of their key bowlers and batsmen have been underperforming in recent times.

I was not having any hopes when India travelled to Australia or England and they surprised me with the performance and in this tour against South Africa i thought if they beat teams like Australia and England then South Africa who i think have the weakest team in a long time will not be a huge task, but the situation is far from the truth Cheesy

.

Shami is rested because of work management issue and so its fine i suppose, even Bumrah needed some rest.

Despite this fuckery i would say this is good team but going through some bad phase (last month or so), not the other way around.

India lost the second match, as well as the ODI series. I don't know who to blame, the pitch was good for batting. India did a well start but KL Rahul has given a lot of dot balls while he was trying to build a long partnership with Rishabh Pant. This match would be more competitive if India scored above 300 runs. Indian bowlers are also in poor form now. Seems like India will be whitewashed by South Africa in the ODI series.

I would not be surprised if India will win the last match but it will be of no use. India lost the test and the ODI series against the team which is not one of the best teams in recent times. Both the batsmen and bowlers were not able to show any strength against SA. I think India needs to forget about this series and think on how they can improve and avoid the current mistakes.

After losing test series now they lost ODI series as well without any big trouble South African outclass India in all fields and change of captaincy is also having some big impact on Indian player's performance just Pant was in good touch all others were completely out of way Kohli is also losing confidence management need to give him some time for having positive comeback into team.

Moreover, Indian players must need some rest as well because having very tough schedule is also having some bad impact on their performance they need to have some good number of changes for test matches and other formats which give some good rest to players those are playing without any break for long time Bhuve is also having very bad time as he is still very good bowler but recently some good number of voices coming against him for having some better performance.

Since the most experienced batsmen in the Indian team are now KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli. Since they are the most experienced and senior in the team. It is normal for everyone to expect more from them. But they did not live up to expectations. KL Rahul and Dhawan played well but wasted a lot of balls. Kohli was out for zero. The bowlers' performance was worse. Bowlers may not be accustomed to bowling on such a pitch. I think South Africa is taking some home advantage. However, India have lost both the Test and ODI series. Tomorrow they will play the last ODI match.

Cant say about whitewash but India surely are at the verge of losing the odi series after test series loss. If India cant win series at SA with current SA team I guess they can never win series in the future. SA was very much down and out but there players are back in form in this series. See the consistency in batting line up of SA in today's game. They all have scored over 30 runs.

Right now, it seems this match is turning upside down. India suddenly took 2 quick wickets to make South Africa into back foot but in these modern days hitting at 5.2 run rate is not a big problem for any team with 7 wickets in hand. Still, if India will be able to keep chipping up wickets then I guess we are going to have this series alive at the end of the day.

I am disappointed to see India's bowling today. The bowlers' performance in the previous match was a bit better. Their performance today is disgusting. They could not take a single wicket in 21 overs. South Africa scored 128 runs in 21 overs. Janneman Malan scored 49 off 63 balls and De Kock scored 77 off 63 balls. Only 160 runs are needed to win. After losing the Test series, India will also lose the ODI series as well.

South africa are 196-1 right now. Very ordinary bowling from the Indian and it is going to be another easy win for south africa. These are not good signs for indian team as their bowling unit does not look like taking wickets. Apart from bumrah no other bowler is bowling well. I think time has came to an end for Bhuvneshwar kumar.

Right now, Dussen and Markram are batting with ease as they do not need to rush for scoring below 6 per over. Venkatesh Iyer got ball today and it seems he may more over toward the end as Bhubaneshwar Kumar and Ashwin are too expensive today.

KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant's extraordinary batting skills helped India to score 287 runs. I don't think South Africa will win easily if they bat at the target of 288 runs. The chances of the two teams winning the match are equal. Bharati pacers have to play an important role if India wants to win.
South Africa scored 38 runs in 5 overs, did not lose any wickets. I am still optimistic India will win and I will not lose money.

Opening batsman Malon followed up Quinton de Kock's excellent fifty. South Africa's two opening batsmen reach 130+ runs. This puts the team in good shape. A win is easy for the South Africans. An edgeless bowling unit from India. Looks like they will not be able to pick up a single wicket. From a World Cup's perspective, there are batting and bowling problems for this team. It's obvious again that they're losing.

India is going through a very difficult time now. The players are consistently playing badly, and from the board, all the players are under some mental pressure. Kohli has relinquished his captaincy. KL Rahul is now the new captain. He is not succeeding anywhere in captaincy and batting. Fans in India will definitely want to see a better innings from Rahul in this match.
I will take the risk of betting for India today. I want to take this risk even if India's odd's is low. I don't think India will make the same mistakes in today's match as in the previous one.

After winning the toss, India captain KL Rahul decided to bat. If the top order is successful, India will be able to give a big target. Because Iyer and Ashwin don't seem to be in good form now. It would be foolish to expect more from them. With a target of less than 280 runs on this pitch, India will not be able to win today. Because the pitch is batting friendly at the same time, the Indian bowlers could not do well in the previous match except Bumrah. So today if India wants to win or dominate the match then they must give more than 300 targets.
At the end of 4 overs, India collected 26 runs without losing a wicket

@Minor Minor, Looks like you're going to lose the bet today. India have lost two of their key batsmen. However, KL Rahul still survives at the crease.
India also lost their first wicket for 63 runs in 11.4 overs. Shikhar Dhawan was dismissed for 29 off 36 balls. Virat Kohli returned to the dressing room with zero runs. The expectations of the team from Rahul and Kohli are always higher. However, if Rahul can't play well today, and if they lose more wickets before 20 overs then I guess India will lose this match too.

Sri Lanka are now playing the last ODI match of the series against Zimbabwe. Although Sri Lanka won the first match, they lost the second match. Batting first in both the matches, Zimbabwe set a target of 296 and 303 runs respectively.Today, Sri Lanka won the toss and was elected to the bat first. Zimbabwe's batsmen have played well in the last two matches. So in today's match if Sri Lanka gives less than 300 target then maybe they will lose.

Afghanistan is now playing against the Netherlands. The first match of the three-match ODI series is being held today. Afghanistan collected 110/2 in 28 overs. Afghanistan's bowling is good enough. They shouldn't have a problem winning against the Netherlands.

Lots of ODI cricket going on, SL/Zim - Afghan/NED and India/SA. Zim SL series is tied at the moment as both have won one match. Today probability of win for SL is more 85% then Zim 15%. Bet at your own risk, these odds may deceive you badly. Its good to see ODI cricket going on as most of times we have leagues in progress.

What is your prediction about the second ODI match between South Africa and India to be held shortly? Neither the Indian bowler nor the batsman played well in the first match. India lost by 31 runs.
In today's match, captain/opener KL Rahul will have to play well. The match will be under control if the top-order batsmen can play well. If Iyer and Aswin had batted better in the previous match, India could have easily won the match. But the players could not be set at the crease.

My prediction for today's match would be South Africa will win this match to clinch the series due to home advantage and weaklinks of Indian attack in all departments. Indian spinners are not effective and in pace attack only Bumbrah seems good and in batting department, I guess India needs to fix lots of things hence just making 1 or 2 changes may not get back everything on their way. I am afraid that this is going to be very hard time for Kl Rahul and Rahul Dravid.

South Africa got better odds for today's match against India's odd of 1.65, so I guess I may get better profits if my prediction goes right as I have placed my bet on South Africa with odds 2.16
