IND vs SA: The battle of the top two teams, the battle for the Top position in the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/world-cup-2023-points-table-updated-november-5-after-eng-vs-aus-england-eliminated-from-wc-semi-finals-world-cup-2023-most-sixes/">ICC World Cup 2023 Points table</a>, the undefeated and undisputed India will take on South Africa in the 37th match of ICC World Cup 2023 on 5 November. The game will be played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata from 02:00 PM. Overcast weather and rainy conditions are in Kolkata right now so let's check out the IND vs SA Rain Prediction, Weather Forecast of Kolkata, and Pitch Report of Eden Gardens.

India and South Africa have been like big boys in the room. Both have made their domination and fearsome character in this tournament. Men in Blue and Proteas are already officially qualified for the semifinals but they will fight this for their reputation.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/Team-India-world-cup-2023.jpg" alt="Champions Trophy 2025 Qualified Teams, Host Country, Qualification Complete Details" class="wp-image-121981" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Team India | Image: ICC/Getty Image</figcaption></figure>



On a surface where the South African skipper felt his team could use an additional spinner, India would also be tempted to go with the R Ashwin route. But if past performance is any indication, they will continue with the lineup that has worked well for them in the last few games, even if it entails using the same five bowlers in back-to-back games.



India appeared to be a greater danger when they chased after they amassed five victories when batting second. However, that was because they were unfamiliar with batting first. When they did, they dominated by a margin of 100-run and 302-run victories. Thus, India appears more confident and fluent than ever.



South Africa have been an absolute beast batting first. They have breached the 350-run mark four times in 7 matches in this ICC World Cup 2023. They lost one to Netherlands while chasing the target but they are a strong side while chasing too.

The eyes will be on the Birthday Boy- Virat Kohli. He has never played an ODI on his Birthday. This will be the first time he will play an ODI on his Birth date and we must expect a record century from the chase master run machine Kohli.



Overall, it is going to be a good match. South Africa have always put up a tough fight against India and this time it is the stage of the World Cup if they can do the same. Down below is the IND vs SA Rain Prediction, Weather Forecast of Kolkata, and Pitch Report.



IND vs SA Weather Forecast



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/11/ind-vs-pak.png" alt="IND vs SA Rain Prediction, Weather Forecast of Kolkata, and Pitch Report. Will Rain Interrupt India vs South Africa ICC World Cup 2023?" class="wp-image-122283" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IND vs SA Weather Forecast of Kolkata (<a href="https://weather.com/en-IN/weather/hourbyhour/l/6ecbadd5ca4ce6c97d16802065235a0e2d6f88cb05cd22dd3fe0fb1da4df330c">weather.com</a>)</figcaption></figure>



It is predicted an overcast and rainy day in Kolkata City before the match hours. Kolkata has a humid and overcast kind of weather throughout the match. Today, on 5 November 2023, the temperature of Kolkata City is expected to peak at 30?C in the afternoon and drop further as the sun goes down.



Humidity is predicted to hover between 60-80% in the match hours and winds will gust towards the Northwest at a speed of ~7Kmh during the day.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-sa-rain-prediction">IND vs SA Rain Prediction</h2>



There are relatively high chances of rain in Kolkata City of West Bengal. The rain possibility is around 60% just before the match starting time, however, there are around &lt;5% chances of rain in the match hours. There will be &gt;60% of the sky covered under clouds. An overcast day for India vs South Africa is what&nbsp;weather.com&nbsp;predicts. Though, as it is aforementioned, the weather here in Kolkata is rainy in the morning so the game might start a bit late.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pitch-report-of-eden-gardens">Pitch Report of Eden Gardens</h2>



The Eden Gardens pitch is seen to be favorable to the batters. It is easy for the batsmen to play strokes because of the pitch's reliable bounce. Fast bowlers do, however, also display their strength when opening with a fresh ball. On the other hand, the value of spin bowlers grows in the second half.



The first innings totals in the tournament's two games played here were 229 and 204, respectively. However, Bangladesh and the Netherlands were the ones who managed to score them. The reality on Sunday looks very different.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="who-will-win-ind-vs-sa">Who will win IND vs SA?</h2>



When we come to Men-to-Men marking, it is a neck-to-neck fight. India have won all of their matches in the tournament till now and will want to carry this momentum forward. Where South Africa lost one unfortunately but they are spitting fire off their bats and balls.



Though, it is very hard to predict who will win as both teams are the best on their day, India with a home crowd advantage may prevail.

South Africa is already leading the series 1-0 after they defeated India in the 2nd T20I. Batting first, India got a shaky start but Tilak and Surya retaliated positively. SKY smashed a half-century and Rinku's 68*(39) pumped India's innings to 180 in 19.3 overs when rain intervened.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/12/India-vs-South-Africa-3rd-T20I.jpg" alt="IND vs SA 3rd T20I Playing11, Dream11 Prediction, India vs South Africa Dream11 Team, New Wanderers Stadium Johannesburg Pitch Report, India Playing11 | India tour of South Africa 2023-24" class="wp-image-123642" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: Associated Press</figcaption></figure>



South Africa's updated target was to score 152 runs in 15 overs. Hendricks and Breetzke scored 42 off of 17 balls to put their side on a rapid pace. The latter fell victim to a run-out, but the stage was already laid. Hendricks was hitting the ball with all of his might from the opposite end as Markram entered and expertly carried it. 



India managed to come back a little bit after picking up a few wickets, but it was too little too late, as South Africa triumphed by five wickets.

Now, the fight for India is to take at least some ground in the 3rd T20I, and for South Africa, it will be more for locking up the series. For Marco Jansen and Gerald Coetzee to get ready for the next Test series, they have been announced as unavailable for this match. That may imply Ottniel Baartman and Nandre Burger making their debuts.



Similarly, two changes are expected in Indian playing 11 as well. Shubman Gill might make way for Ruturaj Gaikwad, who didn't play on Tuesday due to illness. Ravi Bishnoi looks set to crack the nod ahead of Kuldeep Yadav who didn't have anything much to show in the 2nd T20I.



Down below is the IND vs SA 3rd T20I Rain Prediction, Weather Forecast, and Pitch Report of New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg:

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 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.

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: Two matches, and two completely different performances by both teams. With the series in line, India and South Africa will lock horns for one more time in the third ODI of India tour of South Africa 2023. A windy and dry day is expected at Paarl and this post will lead you to the IND vs SA 3rd ODI Rain Prediction, Weather Forecast of Paarl, And Pitch Report of Boland Park.

India were in the dominating position in the first ODI when they bowled out South Africa in just 116 runs and chased it under 17 overs with 8 wickets in hand. South Africa occupied the identical position on the second ODI at Gqeberha. They bowled out India for 211 runs and South Africa chased down the target with 8 wickets in hand. 



Dominators of New Wanderers were dominated in Gqeberha! It was an amazing turnaround, made possible by the Proteas. Now, KL Rahul will be hoping to return to winning ways at the Boland Park Stadium in Paarl on Thursday in order to wrap up the three-match series in their favour.

There will be a lot of concerns for the Indian team management to consider heading into the third One-Day International, especially considering the form of Tilak Varma and Ruturaj Gaikwad. With scores of 5 and 4, respectively, Ruturaj, who batted first for India along with Sai Sudharsan, has not been able to get going in the first two matches. Tilak Varma, who was dismissed for 10 in the second ODI, has not yet had an impact with the bat.



While, bowling was also not up to the mark in the second ODI. Mukesh Kumar is getting back to back chances but any impactful performance is due from his side. Hopefully, he is going to have his day today in the IND vs SA 3rd ODI.

With an average first innings score of 250 at Boland Park Stadium, the pitch helps batters once they've become confident in the crease. Pacers and spinners receive help concurrently. In this particular venue, teams who have batted first have won more games than the teams that are chasing.



A rather slow wicket as three times in the past 15 matches, teams were able to score 300+, and the happiest spectators in the entire country, if not all of cricket.

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.

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: India to travel to Dubai on this date; unlikely to play warmup game

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.

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.
