According to Google’s probability of winning, there is a 54% chance of India winning.
According to CricTracker, whoever chases the score will win. MyKhel says the Proteas are likely to win the first match of the series as many of the Indian players do not have the experience of playing in South African conditions. We think it will be a close cricket match. India will win the match as a number of Indian top and middle order batsmen are enjoying it when the ball reaches the bat at good pace.
