IND vs SA: South Africa Announces Strong Squads for ODIs, Test &amp; T20I Series against India | India Tour of South Africa 2023-24

ind-vs-sa-south-africa-announces-strong-squads-for-odi-test-t20i-series-against-india-india-tour-of-south-africa-2023-24

IND vs SA 1st Test: South Africa has copped a big blow after their skipper Temba Bavuma was revealed to have suffered a left hamstring injury on day one of the ongoing India vs South Africa 1st test in Centurian. The South African medical team will closely monitor the batter through the course of the 1st test.



Unfortunately, Temba Bavuma had to leave the field, early on day one of the IND vs SA 1st test, after sustaining an injury in his left hamstring. 



The incident took place in the 20th over of the innings when Bavuma was chasing a ball off Virat Kohli's blade. Though Bavuma managed to stop the delivery in the extra cover regions, he looked in discomfort as he clutched his hamstring and walked off the field.



Veteran batter Dean Elgar spearheaded the South African side post-Bavuma's exit in the 1st session of the IND vs SA test at the SuperSport Park.



During the course of the game, the commentators revealed that Temba Bavuma has suffered an injury to his left hamstring and the Proteas medical team would continue to monitor him for the remainder of the fixture. Cricket South Africa (CSA) is yet to comment on Bavuma's further participation in the test series. 



Notably, the South African captain played with a right hamstring injury in his last international game during the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 in India. The batter picked up the injury on his right hamstring during the group-stage fixture against Afghanistan. However, he looked unfazed by it and took the field in the next fixture against Australia in the semi-final 1. 



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs SA 1st Test Highlights</h2>



Meanwhile, talking about the IND vs SA 1st Test, the home side remained on top with Team India reeling at a score of 208 runs in the loss of 8 wickets. Senior pacer Kagiso Rabada led the assault against Team India and picked his maiden fifer against the opposition.



India seemed to be in an uncomfortable position at one stage when the wickets were consistently falling, however, wicketkeeper batter KL Rahul's unbeaten knock of 70 runs has steadied things a bit. Owing to his classy innings, Team India has now a respectable total on the board with 2 more wickets in hand.



Besides KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer were dismissed in their 30s while Shardul Thakur played 24 run innings.

IND vs SA 1st Test: South Africa captain Temba Bavuma suffers left hamstring injury during 1st Test against India

ind-vs-sa-1st-test-south-africa-captain-temba-bavuma-suffers-left-hamstring-injury-during-1st-test-against-india

IND vs SA: In a big setback to the hosts, South African captain Temba Bavuma is all set to miss the upcoming New Year test against India after suffering a hamstring injury. South African coach Shukri Cornard confirmed the development after they defeated India by an innings and 32 runs in the Centurian test.



With Temba Bavuma already ruled out of the IND vs SA 2nd Test in Cape Town, veteran batter Deal Elgar is set to lead the South African side. Interestingly, the Cape Town test will also be his last swansong as he bids his final goodbye to the game of cricket.



Cornard confirmed that Bavuma didn't have a tear on his hamstring, rather it was a strain. He pulled up his hamstring during day one of the India vs South Africa Centurian Test. The incident occurred while Bavuma chased the delivery off Virat Kohli's blade. After pulling up his hamstring, Bavuma immediately left the field and he was continuously monitored by the medics. 



It's worth noting that many fans criticised Bavuma for not walking into the field to bat in the second innings when all-rounder Marco Jansen was running short of partners at the other end. Jansen remained unbeaten at 84 runs and everyone speculated that the captain would walk out to aid his compatriot, however, this could never turn into a reality.



Defending South Africa's move to not send Temba Bavuma out to bat, Conrad explained that the batter was consistently under examination. It would have been risky to send Bavuma out, said the Protea coach. He also added that South Africa was in a good position with over 150 runs lead in the second innings.



"We were constantly giving ourselves maximum time so we could give out the right information. If we lost wickets early, he would have walked on. With 150 runs ahead, I felt it wasn't necessary to risk Temba," Shukri Cornard said.



"Bavuma was diagnosed with a left hamstring strain, not a tear, and will have the injury assessed in two weeks' time to determine his availability for his next assignment, with the Sunrisers Eastern Cape at the SA20," the coach added.



With his commitments with SA20 franchise Sunrisers Eastern Cape, Temba Bavuma is already unavailable for the two-game test series against New Zealand next year.



 "He will not play in South Africa's two-Test series against New Zealand early next year because of his SA20 commitments."



The India vs South Africa 2nd Test is scheduled to commence on January 03 in Cape Town.

ind-vs-sa-south-african-captain-temba-bavuma-ruled-out-of-cape-town-test

Temba Bavuma-led South Africa completed a successful 2-0 series whitewash versus Sri Lanka at home and this series victory has given them a major boost in their hopes of qualifying for the final of the 2023-25 World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. 
The recent win of the Proteas over the Sri Lankans has seen them displace defending-champions Australia from the 1st position of the overall standings as the Temba Bavuma-led team now have a PCT of 63.33 next to their name following their sixth Test victory our of 10 contests. The Kangaroos on the other hand have dropped down to the 2nd place with a PCT of 60.71.
Two-time runners-up of WTC, the Indian Cricket Team are at the third spot with a PCT of 57.29 following their recent defeat in the Adelaide Test-Match versus the Mighty Australians three days ago. 
Dhananjaya de Silva-led Sri Lanka's series defeat versus the Proteas has made things difficult for them in terms of securing a spot in the WTC Final but they are still alive in the race to qualify for the title-deciding clash slated to be played at the Lord's Cricket Stadium from the 11th of June of 2025. The Sri Lankans are still positioned at the fourth place and their PCT has reduced to 45.45.

 The 5th day of the 2nd Test-Match between Sri Lanka and the South Africans started off with the visitors having the advantage. Dhananjaya de Silva &amp; CO needed a total of 143 runs to save the series while the home team needed five-wickets to seal the whitewash. However, set batters Dhananjaya de Silva (50 runs) and wicketkeeper batter Kusal Mendis (46 runs) put their team in an advantageous situation and pushed the Proteas on the backfoot. 
However, South Africa's elite slow-left-arm-orthodox spinner Keshav Maharaj had some other plans and he single handedly executed the comeback for his team as his fifer helped the hosts to inflict an all out on the Sri Lankans for a score of 238 runs and they secured a victory in the 2nd contest by a margin of 109 runs. 
The Proteas had also secured a comfortable victory in the opening contest of the series by a margin of 233 runs which also witnessed the Sri Lankans getting bundled out for an embarrassing score of 42 runs in their 1st inning. 
Temba Bavuma and his men will now be taking part in a two-match Home Test-Series versus Pakistan and they will be looking to seal yet another comfortable series win. That series will kick off from the 26th of December in the city of Centurion The Sri Lankans on the other hand will host the Mighty Australians in January of next year for a home two-match Test-Series.

South Africa are the inaugural champion of the ICC Champions Trophy, as they won the first edition back in 1998. But since then, they have made it to the knockouts of multiple ICC events but couldn't win a title yet. But they will look to end this drought as they enter the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 as one of the favorites.
South Africa are placed in Group B, which already has Australia, England, and Afghanistan. This is the toughest group of two, as all four teams can surprise anyone. The Proteas will begin their journey with their first game against Afghanistan on February 21 at National Stadium, Karachi.
South Africa have been very consistent in the ICC events in the last few tournaments across formats. They made it to the final of the T20 World Cup 2024 and were the semifinalists in the ODI World Cup 2023. Recently, they made it to the World Test Championship final. Hence, they will not be the underdog this time around. On Monday, Cricket South Africa announced the 15-member squad for the coming tournament.
<h2>Temba Bavuma to lead South Africa in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
South Africa announced a strong 15-member squad that has almost all the bases covered. The batting unit looks strong, and they have some serious fast bowlers in their ranks. Temba Bavuma will lead the squad that has some big match-winners like Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram, David Miller, and Rassie van der Dussen.
Tabraiz Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj will be two specialist spinners, as the conditions in Pakistan and the UAE are more in favor of the spinners. The Proteas have brought back Lungi Ngidi and Anrich Nortje, who have experience of playing in Pakistan before. Marco Jansen and Wiaan Mulder are the two specialist pace-bowling all-rounders in the squad.
Anrich Nortje will play his first ODI since September 2023, as he was out of action due to injury. Similarly, Ngidi is also making his comeback after missing out on the last 4-5 months of action due to a groin injury. The Proteas have gone with a similar batch of players that played in the ODI World Cup 2023. Ten players are from the same squad. South Africa will play their group matches on February 21, 25, and March 1, respectively.
South Africa's Squad for ICC Champions Trophy 2025
Temba Bavuma (c), Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Aiden Markram, David Miller, Kagiso Rabada, Tony de Zorzi, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Ryan Rickelton, Tabraiz Shamsi, Tristan Stubbs (wk), Rassie van der Dussen, Anrich Nortje, Wiaan Mulder, Lungi Ngidi

The third match of the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 is set to be played today i.e on 21st February between the Afghanistan National Cricket Team &amp; the South African National Cricket Team. This upcoming contest is going to be the first match of Group-B. This mouth watering contest between the two sides will be played at the iconic National Bank Stadium of Karachi from 2:30 PM IST (Indian Standard Time) onwards. 
This forthcoming encounter will also be the opening match of both teams in the current edition of the Champions Trophy. Afghanistan will be playing under the leadership of Hashmatullah Shahidi while South Africa, on the other hand, will be captained by Temba Bavuma. 
The Hashmatullah Shahidi led-Afghan Atalans finished sixth in the overall standings of the 2023 ODI World Cup, securing victories in four out of nine games. The Proteas, on the other hand, have shown terrific performances with both bat &amp; ball in the last two ICC white-ball tournaments. Both teams will be looking to start off the Champions Trophy on a winning note. 
The Hashmatullah Shahidi-led team will be making their debut in the marquee ICC event, as their good performance in the ODI World Cup of 2023 in India helped them secure qualification for the Champions Trophy.
The Afghan Atalans had successfully defeated the South Africans by a margin of 2-1 in the three-match ODI series between the two teams just a few months ago in September of 2024. This way, the confidence of the Hashmatullah Shahidi-led team will be really high and they will be looking to cause a big upset by getting the better of the Proteas. 
Since this upcoming contest between the two teams will be their first match in the ongoing Champions Trophy, they would be looking to perform in a brilliant manner and start off their respective campaigns on a winning note. Each group stage match of the eight-team tournament is considered as must win ones which increases the importance of this forthcoming contest even more. 
<h2>Afghanistan vs South Africa Champions Trophy: Head-2-Head records between both teams in One Day Cricket</h2>
A total of five One Day International matches have taken place so far between Afghanistan &amp; South Africa. The Proteas have had the upper hand in this H2H battle as they have won three out of five games whereas the Afghans have managed to win on just two occasions. This way, we can clearly see that the Proteas have the edge over the Afghan Atalans. 
South Africa won - 3
Afghanistan work 2
<h2>Afghanistan vs South Africa Champions Trophy: Pitch Report of the National Bank Stadium of Karachi</h2>
The pitch of the National Bank Stadium of Karachi is known as a batters paradise. It has a long history of favoring the batters more and the seam bowlers will be getting little to nothing help on this surface, while the spin bowlers can prove to be effective due to the slow nature of the pitch. The dew factor can also play an important in deciding the outcome of the match in the evening period, due to which the toss winning captain might go ahead and choose to field first.
<h2>Afghanistan vs South Africa Champions Trophy: Weather Report of the city of Karachi</h2>
In accordance to the weather reports of AccuWeather, the city of Karachi is anticipated to experience a partly cloudy sky on Friday with the temperature expected to hover around the 30 degrees Celsius mark. The humidity levels are expected to stay between 30 to 40 percent, but the chances of rain interfering with the match are zero. 
<h2>Afghanistan vs South Africa Champions Trophy: Probable playing 11's of both teams</h2>
Afghanistan: Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (WK), Hashmatullah Shahidi (Captain), Rahmat Shah, Mohammad Nabi, Azmatullah Omarzai, Rashid Khan, Gulbadin Naib, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Noor Ahmed &amp; Farid Ahmed Malik. 
South Africa: Temba Bavuma (Captain), Aiden Markram, Toni de Zorzi, Heinrich Klaasen (WK), Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, Keshav Maharaj, Marco Jansen, Lungisiani Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada and Tabraiz Shamsi.

The third match of the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 is set to be played today i.e on 21st February between the Afghanistan National Cricket Team & the South African National Cricket Team. This upcoming contest is going to be the first match of Group-B. This mouth watering contest between the two sides will be played at the iconic National Bank Stadium of Karachi from 2:30 PM IST (Indian Standard Time) onwards.

Afghanistan vs South Africa Champions Trophy: Pitch Report & Weather Report of Karachi ahead of this exciting contest

afghanistan-vs-south-africa-champions-trophy-pitch-report-weather-report-of-karachi-ahead-of-this-exciting-contest

On the 21st of February i.e today, a mouth watering encounter between Afghanistan and South Africa is slated to take place at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi. This match will be the first game of Group-B and it promises to be an exciting battle between the Mighty Proteas &amp; the debutants Afghan Atalans who have taken the world of Cricket by storm with the assistance of talented bunch of players in their team. 
The Afghans, under the leadership of Hashmatullah Shahidi, might be taking part in their first ever Champions Trophy 2025 tournament but have enjoyed a great run in the ODI format. They have secured victories in their last four ODI series heading into the marquee ICC event which includes a 2-1 series victory over the Proteas. This series win alone is more than enough to increase their confidence going into the eight-team event. 
The Proteas, on the other hand, might still be considered as the favourites to win this game but their performances in the last few ODI games has been underwhelming. The Temba Bavuma-led outfit have faced the wrath of injuries and they ended the recently concluded Triangular series versus New Zealand &amp; Pakistan on a terrible note, failing to register a single win. 
It's safe to say that the 2024 T20 World Cup runners-up are going to be under a tremendous amount of pressure going into the competition but you can never rule out a South African side. Ahead of this exciting encounter, let's take a look at four players who are going to be worth watching out for in the Afghanistan versus South Africa Champions Trophy clash.
<h3>Afghanistan vs South Africa Champions Trophy: 4 players worth watching out for</h3>
Azmatullah Omarzai
Fresh from winning the ICC Men's ODI Player of the Year award for 2024, seam bowling All-Rounder Azmatullah Omarzai has proven to be a crucial part of Afghanistan's recent success in the ODI format. 
In the 2023 ODI World Cup, the talented pace-bowling all-rounder managed to score a total of 353 runs with nine wickets to his name and helped his team secure wins in big contests. In the absence of the experienced Naveen-ul-Haq, the 24-year-old will also have the added responsibility of playing a key role with the ball in the pace bowling unit of Afghanistan. 
Temba Bavuma
Temba Bavuma, the captain of South Africa has been in good form with the bat of late, having played a good knock of 82 runs in Karachi when the Proteas locked horns versus Pakistan in the Triangular series encounter earlier this month. 
If the captain can help his team get off to a good start in the powerplay overs, then the South African batting lineup possesses top-notch big hitters in their middle order who can help their team post a big total on the board.
Heinrich Klassen
The previous ODI games played at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi witnessed the spin bowlers getting a lot of grip from the surface and the South African player who knows how to attack the slow bowlers from the word GO is the one and only Heinrich Klassen. The 33-year-old has proved to be one of the most explosive middle-order batters and this ground is one where he can once again showcase his ability to smash the ball long and hard. 
He will be playing a crucial role in the middle order of the Proteas and his performance with the bat will surely determine what kind of a score the 2024 T20 World Cup runners-up can put up on the scoreboard. 
Rashid Khan
Leg spinner Rashid Khan has already managed to establish himself as a living legend in the Cricket history of Afghanistan. The 26-year-old has maintained his form on a consistent basis over the years and he's always considered as a very dangerous player in the limited overs formats. 
He will be playing a key role with the ball in helping his team keep the scoring rate of the Proteas in check in the middle overs and he can also chip in with some useful contributions with the bat down the order.

The seventh match of the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 will witness Cricket heavyweights Australia (AUS) and South Africa (RSA) taking on each other at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi on Tuesday, 25th of February. 
This match will be important for both teams as the winner will get the golden opportunity to seal their spot in the semi-final phase of the eight-team tournament. The Aussies won their opening encounter versus Ashes Rivals England by a margin of five wickets thanks to the magnificent century of Josh Inglis. 
The South Africans, on the other hand, also have the winning momentum available with them as they are also going to enter this match on the back of a strong opening match victory versus Afghanistan by 107 runs as wicketkeeper batter Ryan Rickelton slammed a hundred. Captain Temba Bavuma, Aiden Markram, and Rassie van der Dussen also smashed fifties in that very game. 
Both the teams are in good form heading into this forthcoming encounter and it will surely be a great contest between the two heavyweights. The two teams have played 110 ODI games versus each other and the Proteas have the advantage over the Kangaroos as they have gone on to secure victories on 55 occasions while the Aussies have triumphed in 51 games. One game between the two teams ended in a no-result situation, while three games ended in a tie. 
With both sides eager to secure their Champions Trophy 2025 semi-final berths, let's take a look at the best Dream 11 teams, hot picks and captaincy choices for this breathtaking contest. 
<h2>Pitch Report &amp; Weather Forecast</h2>
The pitch of the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium generally offers excellent batting conditions where the batters are given the freedom to play their shots at will and exploit the conditions on offer. The seam bowlers will not get any kind of seam movement on this track. Unlike the surface of Lahore, where the fast bowlers get a resilient bounce, the pace &amp; bounce in Rawalpindi are anticipated to be similar, which will help the batters in terms of stroke play. 
The spinners, on the other hand, might be able to extract some turn from the pitch of this stadium but the pitch is unlikely to slow down as the game progresses. Since chasing down targets has become the norm in recent times, the toss-winning captain may choose to field first. 
Talking about the weather forecast, The weather in the city of Rawalpindi is anticipated to be cloudy and cool on Tuesday, 25th of February. There's a 62% chance of rainfall on the match day and the humidity levels are anticipated to be around 74%. The temperatures are expected to hover between 11 degrees Celsius to 18 degrees Celsius.
<h2>Australia versus South Africa Champions Trophy: Probable Playing 11's of both teams</h2>
<h4>Australia's Probable Starting 11</h4>
1. Travis Head
2. Matthew Short
3. Marnus Labuschsgne
4. Steven Smith (Captain) 
5. Alex Carey
6. Josh Inglis (WK) 
7. Ben Dwarshuis
8. Glenn Maxwell
9. Spencer Johnson
10. Nathan Ellis
11. Adam Zampa
Recent form of Australia: It's difficult to draw too many conclusions from Australia's form, given that they overcame their recent two subpar performances in Sri Lanka by defeating England in a record run chase to start their tournament campaign. Their English opponents hammered 351/8 on Saturday, raising questions about whether this Australian bowling outfit can mount a strong defensive defense. 
This Australian team definitely has less room for mistake without the main bowling trio of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, &amp; Josh Hazelwood.
South Africa's Probable Starting 11
1. Tony de Zorzi
2. Temba Bavuma (Captain) 
3. Ryan Rickelton (WK) 
4. Aiden Markram
5. Rassie van der Dussen
6. Marco Jansen
7. David Miller
8. Wiaan Mulder
9. Keshav Maharaj
10. Lungisiani Ngidi
11. Kagiso Rabada
Recent form of South Africa: The recent ODI form of the Proteas has also been on &amp; off, with their recent triumph over Afghanistan by a margin of 107 runs bringing an end to their six-match winless streak in the format, dating back to October of 2024 where they lost to Ireland.
But they will undoubtedly feel quite confident after their first-up showing in Pakistan. Four of their top six players turned starts into milestone knocks, with three reaching fifties and opener Ryan Rickelton scoring 103 runs off of 106 balls. All six players reached double digits.
<h2>HOT Picks for Australia vs South Africa Dream11 Grand League Team  </h2>
<h4>Australia:  </h4>
- Adam Zampa: Given the absence of Australia's main seam bowling trio of Starc Hazelwood &amp; Cummins, leg spinner Adam Zampa will be the main man in the bowling unit versus the Proteas. He's the most experienced bowler in the squad and he's also a limited-overs specialist who approaches the game in an aggressive manner and picks up wickets regularly. Coming off on the back of a 2-64 in 10 overs outing versus the Three Lions, Zampa's contribution will prove to be crucial in his team's fierce contest versus the Proteas. 
- Travis Head: The dangerous Travis Head can prove to be an important pick in the match versus the Proteas. He loves to play his shots freely and has scored a total of 2,663 runs in 70 matches in the 50-over format. While he wasn't able to do much with the bat versus the Three Lions, you don't wanna take the risk of omitting him from your dream 11 teams and his ability to roll his arm over with his part-time off-spin bowing can help you get some important fantasy points. 
- Nathan Ellis: Right-arm seamer Nathan Ellis will be tasked with the duty of spearheading the Australian pace bowling unit and he will certainly play a key role with the ball versus the South Africans. His ability to deliver perfect bouncers and toe-crushing yorkers can prove to be problematic for the opposition batters and he can prove to be a good budget pick for your fantasy teams. 
<h4>South Africa:</h4>
- Marco Jansen: Fast bowling All-Rounder Marco Jansen can prove to be an excellent choice for your Dream 11 teams. Being an all-rounder makes him a very good captaincy pick and his ability to pick up wickets at crucial moments in the game makes him very lethal. He was the leading wicket-taker in the recently concluded edition of the SA 20 and you surely won't want to make the mistake of not selecting him. 
- Temba Bavuma: South Africa's Captain Temba Bavuma is in the form of his life. He has amassed a total of 1,733 runs in 46 games at an average of 44 and these stats show how special he is. He has scored fifties in back-to-back matches and an in-form Bavuma will be an amazing pick for your fantasy teams. 
-Heinrich Klassen: Heinrich Klassen is an explosive batter and a tremendous player of spin. He will enjoy smashing the balls over the short boundaries of the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium and if he goes on to score a big score, he will end up providing you with a lot of valuable points.

Under Shubman Gill's captaincy, Gujarat Titans (GT) secured their fourth consecutive win, defeating Rajasthan Royals (RR) to top the points table. Despite a strong fightback from Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag, a controversial dismissal and tight bowling from GT, including a resurgent Rashid Khan, sealed RR's fate. Hetmyer fought alone as RR fell short, hurt by 17 wides and the absence of Wanindu Hasaranga. Earlier, Sai Sudharsan’s composed 82 and late cameos helped GT post 217, overcoming Jofra Archer’s fiery opening spell.
