IND vs SA 2025: Experts predict captivating scoreline for ODIs

The three-match ODI series between India and South Africa begins on Sunday, November 30, at the JSCA International Stadium Complex. This will be a vital series, particularly for the Men in Blue, who have received harsh criticism for their whitewash in the previous Test series against the Proteas.

India’s three-match ODIs against Australia last month ended in a 1-2 defeat. However, the defending Champions Trophy winners will want to give a good account of themselves when they face Temba Bavuma and co. in the coming days.

In an Instagram video posted by Star Sports, former South African pacer Dale Steyn supported his country to win the ODI series 2-1. Parthiv Patel, an ex-Indian wicketkeeper-batsman, projected that India would defeat South Africa 3-0.

India defeated South Africa 2-1 in their most recent ODI series in December 2023. The three matches were held in Johannesburg, Gqeberha, and Paarl.

Both Steyn and Patel went on to name the leading run-getter and highest wicket-taker in the ODI series. They unanimously picked Kuldeep Yadavto finish with the most number of scalps. The left-arm wrist spinner has 27 wickets from 13 ODIs against the Proteas, which is a fantastic record.

Meanwhile, Steyn picked Quinton de Kock to finish as the highest run-getter. The latter loves playing against India and has scored 1077 runs from 20 ODIs at a staggering average of 53.85.
