The first T20I was washed out owing to rain and South Africa were too strong for India in the second T20I. India went on to beast mode in the third match and won it with over 100 runs. Following the T20I series, a three-match ODI series awaits both contestants starting on 17 December.

Six South African and three Indian players were picked in the ODI squad for the series from the playing XIs in the teams' most recent World Cup matches. That indicates how each team's depth differs from one another. It also indicates that they are quick to try new things. Temba Bavuma and Rohit Sharma, both World Cup captains, are absent. In addition, the two best fast bowlers on their squads, Mohammed Shami and Kagiso Rabada also miss and of course, the two greatest batsmen of the modern era, Virat Kohli and Quinton de Kock.



Opportunities will arise for others as Temba Bavuma, Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee, and Kagiso Rabada are not participating. Nandre Burger, who would be making his debut in the format, and Tony de Zorzi may be among the gainers.

Ruturaj Gaikwad, on the other hand, may be unable to play on Sunday due to a fever. A "family medical emergency" was cited in a BCCI announcement as the reason Deepak Chahar was removed from the series. Akash Deep has taken his position in the team.

Johannesburg's New Wanderers Stadium has proven to be a batting-friendly pitch. The hitters have had success on their outings at this location. But because of the dampness from the constant rain, the surface may also help the bowlers. According to the records, the teams have enjoyed chasing in this location. As per weather websites, it will be a day with high temperatures and a 40% chance of thunderstorms.

IND vs SA 1st ODI: With some bitter memories of their respective last ODI match, India and South Africa are set to play a three-match bilateral ODI series starting today, 17 December. India will take on the hosts South Africa in the first ODI at the New Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg where the weather is forecasted to be overcast. This post reads the IND vs SA 1st ODI Rain Prediction, Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg?in depth.

This ODI series excludes several well-known players as it falls between a Test series and a T20I series during a T20 World Cup year. Instead, it will have a cast of characters, many of whom are not well-known outside of their nations. South Africa's squad includes five players who have played ten or fewer ODIs, and India's as many as nine.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/12/372607-1.jpg" alt="IND vs SA ODI Schedule, Time Table, Full Squads, Head-to-Head Details, and Live Streaming Info | India vs South Africa ODIs 2023" class="wp-image-123684" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IND vs SA (Image- Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



The series will provide these players with an opportunity to somewhat complicate the life of selectors when they convene to choose a team for a more significant series in the future. The Wanderers will wear pink on Sunday to raise awareness of breast cancer, and a sell-out crowd is anticipated to fill the bleachers.

IND vs SA 1st ODI Rain Prediction, Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg?| India vs South Africa 1st T20I

ind-vs-sa-1st-odi-rain-prediction-weather-forecast-and-pitch-report-of-new-wanderers-stadium-johannesburg-india-vs-south-africa-1st-t20i

IND vs SA 1st ODI: After levelling the three-game T20I series 1-1, Team India and South Africa will lock horns in as many matches ODI series, starting December 17 (Sunday). This will be the first assignment of both sides post their World Cup 2023 campaign in India.



The ODI's in the present times is of not much relevance. The format is on the brink of getting overshadowed by the T20Is and many other shorter formats. More so, with the T20 World Cup 2024 lined up ahead, the cricket boards would prioritise the shortest format and the ODIs will sink slightly more.



Team India, under Rohit Sharma, had a memorable World Cup 2023 campaign at home. The Men in Blue went on to win 10 games on the bounce and that too comprehensively. However, fate took a sharp turn in the Final, where Australia remained a better team than India.



On the other side, South Africa got derailed in the semi-final against Australia, after doing extremely well in the league stages. They were one of the dangerous sides going in the tournament, with multiple 300+ scores, however, their strength was put to the test by the mighty Australians, who don't know how to falter in important matches.



Now with some fresh faces in the ODI squad, both teams would look to maximise the opportunities presented to them. Both, South Africa and India, have included a lot of youngsters in the squad. Only a handful of players, who played the 2023 World Cup, from both sides are present in the squad for the ODI series.



The major missings would be the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Mohammad Shami and Jasprit Bumrah among others from the Indian side, while Temba Bavuma, Quinton de Kock, Kagiso Rabada among others from the South African side.



Now let's take a look at Team India's predicted playing11 for the first ODI against South Africa. 



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs SA 1st ODI: Team India's Predicted Playing11 against South Africa</h2>



Team India doesn't have a settle opening order with the current squad and hence new players will be seen taking up the role. The likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sai Sudarshan and Rajat Patidhar are likely to see the opening duties for the team. 



The team will also have the services of Sanju Samson, who has been largely sidelined by the BCCI. However, the glovesman is likely to get decent opportunity in the upcoming ODIs to strengthen his position in the team. 



Veteran batter KL Rahul will lead the side in absence of Rohit Sharma, who has been rested. Rahul has informed that he would play a key role in the middle order, besides donning gloves.



The team's pace attack is all new, the likes of Avesh Khan, Mukesh Chaudhary and Arshdeep Singh are expected to be paried together.



Below is India's predicted playing11 against South Africa for 1st ODI:



India's Playing11: Rajat Patidar, Sai Sudharsan/Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (c &amp; wk), Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar, Avesh Khan

The wait for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be over. The tournament will begin on 19th February, and the final will take place on 9th March. The India team, no doubt, will be one of the hot favourites to win the tournament, which will be played in a hybrid model. 
India will be playing all their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 games in Dubai. The Rohit Sharma-led side will be beginning their campaign against Bangladesh on 20th February, and, after that, will be playing Pakistan on 23rd February, followed by New Zealand on 2nd March. 
The departure date of India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 also has been revealed. As per the reports in Times of India, it is learned that the Rohit Sharma-led side will be travelling to Dubai on 15th February. The reports added that more clarity on the same will come in the coming days. 
<h2>India won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Not only this, it is learned that India also won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because all the teams will be in Pakistan, and hence, it will be difficult for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to arrange the warmup match. 
The reports added that India team management is happy with the net session ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because they will be playing the three-match ODI series against England, which will begin on 6th February across three venues in India. 
Apart from this, it is reported that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 won't be having a captain photoshoot because of the different challenges along with the different arrivals of the team. This means that Rohit Sharma won't be travelling to Pakistan for this and will be staying in Dubai with the team. 
The opening ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Lahore. There were talks of having the event in Karachi but the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to host it in Lahore.

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has provided a massive fitness update about batter Rinku Singh ahead of the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. He mentioned that the left-hander has gained full fitness and will be playing the next match of the five-match T20I series. 
India and England are all set to lock horns with each other in the fourth match of the T20I series. The game is all set to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday (30th January). The series is currently at 2-1, with hosts in the lead. 
India has been without the services of Rinku Singh for the last two games of the IND vs ENG series. The left-hander sustained a low back spasm while fielding in the first game and was then ruled out of the next two games of the series as he was under the observation of the BCCI medical team. 
In his place, the India team added Dhruv Jurel to the XI, and the move didn't pay off. The keeper-batter batted lower down the order and struggled to get going in both games, and it potentially cost them the last match of the series. 
<h2>Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow - Ryan Ten Doeschate</h2>
However, in what will be a massive boost, Rinku Singh has been declared fit for the next two games. The development was confirmed by assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate, who said that the batter hit nets and will be playing. He told reporters. 
"Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow. He batted yesterday night" 
Rinku Singh has been India's one of the best batters in the T20Is. His absence was felt in the last two games as well, but now, with him being fit, it is expected that he would walk straight into the XI and is likely to add Dhruv Jurel to the team. 
The fourth IND vs ENG T20I will be a great opportunity for India to to seal the series, but they need to make some corrections before heading into the next IND vs ENG match. 
India faced a disappointing 26-run loss in the last match at Rajkot. Their batting was one of the main reasons behind the loss and they would be hoping to make a strong comeback.

On Thursday morning, the scene outside New Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium was nothing short of extraordinary. A massive crowd had gathered well before the match, eager to witness Kohli in action. Long queues stretched for nearly 2 km, with fans patiently waiting for entry. Given his status as Indian cricket biggest crowd-puller the frenzy was hardly surprising.
