IND vs SA 3rd ODI Preview:

India will lock horns with South Africa in the Final and decisive ODI match of the three-match ODI series at Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, Visakhapatnam. The Men in Blue have failed to execute their bowling plans and suffered a 4-wicket defeat in the 2nd ODI. India needs to improve its bowling to avoid consecutive series defeats.

Meanwhile, South Africa strongly bounced back in the second ODI and levelled the series 1-1. Aiden Markram played a brilliant knock of 110, supported by Temba Bavuma, Matthew Breetzke and Dewald Brevis. South Africa is now aiming to win a long-awaited ODI series in India.

On a day where South Africa showed a lot of dominance with the bat and ball to completely put India on the mat during the second Test of the two-match series at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, their head coach, Shukri Conrad, ended up making a racial comment in the press conference at the end of the day’s play.

It was a needless and surprising statement from someone who perhaps would be much more emotionally connected with the word, as Conrad expressed their desire to make India grovel. They set a target of 549 runs in the fourth innings to chase for the Rishabh Pant-led side before the hosts lost both their opening batters, Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, in the first 40 minutes.

“We wanted India to spend as much time on their feet out in the field. We wanted them to really grovel, to steal a phrase, bat them completely out of the game and then say to them, well, come and survive on the last day and an hour this evening.” Conrad was heard addressing this in the post-day presser.

Shukri Conrad’s racial ‘grovel’ comment sparks speculation in IND vs SA 2nd Test in Guwahati

To grovel means to lie or crawl abjectly on the ground with one’s face downwards, as something that Greg, who was of white heritage of South Africa, had said in reference to the Caribbean players in their painful history of slavery and the apartheid in the Rainbow Nation.

“There were a few factors. We obviously were looking at how best we are going to use the new ball, so that in the morning, we still get a newish, hard ball. We felt that when the shadows come across the pitch in the evening, there's something in it for the quick bowlers. So we didn't want to declare too early and not be able to use that.” Conrad added.

“So far so good, but we also know they are just not going to roll over. We have to be at our very best tomorrow, but those are the factors that we considered here.” Conrad shed light.

IND vs SA Test Series, 2025 Match Preview:

India will face South Africa in the first test match. Team India recently won their previous test series against the Caribbean team by 2-0. On the other hand, South Africa had a great time in this format. The Proteas defeated the Aussies in the previous WTC cycle and lifted their first ICC Trophy.

In the ongoing WTC cycle, they played two games against Pakistan, winning one and losing the other. They sit in fourth place with 12 points. Team India won 5 out of 7 matches in this cycle and holds third place. In this match, both teams will aim to strengthen their positions in the WTC table.

What is the pitch report for this match?

The surface is batting-friendly, and we can expect a score range between 300 and 330 runs.

The right-handed batter of the South Africa side, Dewald Brevis, has been ruled out of the three-match ODI series against the Pakistan side on November 04 with a low-grade shoulder muscle strain. He injured himself during the third T20I of the three-match T20I series in Lahore. The board has not even named a replacement for the veteran batter yet.

Brevis will be undergoing rehabilitation while remaining with the team in Pakistan ahead of the Proteas’ trip to India later this month, which will feature two Test matches, three ODIs, and five T20I encounters. The 22-year-old has got 110 runs in six 50-over innings at a strike rate of nearly 160.

In the three fixtures, Brevis has scored only 56 runs at an average of under 19. Before getting injured, the Chennai Super Kings batter featured in all games on the trip to Pakistan as his highest score was 54, which he got in the second innings of the second Test at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. He would have loved to improve his record in the poor ODI career.

Dewald Brevis ruled out of the three-match ODI series against Pakistan

Brevis’s injury depletes South Africa’s ODI side further. They have decided to rest most all-format players- Aiden Markram and Kagiso Rabada- for the limited overs leg of the tour, along with injured Kwena Maphaka and Anrich Nortje, which has weakened their squad.

“He sustained the shoulder injury during the third T20 International at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Saturday. Brevis will undergo rehabilitation with the Proteas Men’s medical team in Pakistan in preparation for the upcoming Test tour of India. His replacement for the ODI series will be announced in due course.” The statement from the Proteas Men was expressed on X (formerly Twitter).

Matthew Breetzke captains the ODI side, having only made his debut earlier this year, and now will rely heavily on the wicket-keeper opening batter, Quinton de Kock, who will be playing 50-overs for the first time since reversing his retirement. The Proteas’ India trip will begin on November 14 with the first Test at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

PAK vs SA 3rd T20I Match Preview:

Pakistan and South Africa will once again face each other in the final and decisive match of this T20 series. The visitors won the first match of the series, but in the next game, the hosts made a strong comeback by defeating South Africa and levelling the series 1-1.

In the previous encounter, Pakistan defeated South Africa by 9 wickets. Batting first, South Africa were bowled out for just 110 runs, setting a modest target of 111 for Pakistan. In reply, Pakistan comfortably chased down the target, losing only one wicket. Saim Ayub played an aggressive inning of 71 runs in just 38 balls, while Salman Mirza was awarded Man of the Match for his excellent bowling performance. Today's decisive match is expected to be very exciting, as both teams will take the field to win the trophy.

South Africa defeated Pakistan by 55 runs and took an unassailable lead of 1-0 in the series. The Proteas posted 194 runs in the first inning, thanks to the brilliant batting of Reeza Hendricks and George Linde.

 In the second innings, Pakistan's middle-order batters once again disappointed their fans, as the entire team was bundled out for just 139 runs. Saim Ayub, Mohammad Nawaz showed some resistance, but their efforts were not enough.

George Linde and Corbin Bosch troubled the Pakistani batters throughout the inning, both taking 7 wickets.

Heading into the second game, there is immense pressure on the Pakistan team; they will aim to level the series. This match is also crucial for Babar Azam and Agha Salman, as questions have been raised about their place in the team.

Temba Bavuma will return to lead South Africa’s 15-member squad for the upcoming two-match Test series against India next month after completing his recovery from a calf strain. The World Test Championship-winning captain missed the start of their WTC title defense against Pakistan after sustaining the injury in England in September. 

Bavuma will not feature in the white-ball games that start in Pakistan this week but will return in the A-side to play India A in an unofficial match in Bengaluru before joining the red-ball squad. His inclusion in the squad is the only change from their squad that drew with Pakistan by 1-1, as he comes at the expense of David Bedingham, who didn’t play both games.

Bedingham has played 15 red-ball matches for the Rainbow Nation and scored one century and four half-centuries, but before his 82-run knock against Zimbabwe at the Queen’s Park Oval in Bulawayo, he went for 12 innings with a fifty.

South Africa make one change in 15-member squad against India in Tests

South Africa have stuck with their ratio of three specialist spinners as all of Keshav Maharaj, Simon Harmer, and Senuran Muthusamy did a fantastic job in Pakistan. The off-spinner of the side, Prenelan Subrayen, who played the opening Test match while Maharaj was recovering from the groin strain, has not been considered in the side.

Kagiso Raba, Corbin Bosch, and Marco Jansen will be part of the pace attack, while their veteran right-arm fast bowler, Lungi Ngidi, won’t be included after missing out on the Pakistan trip. The opening clash of the two-match series will begin on November 14 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata before the action shifts to Guwahati from November 22.

After the end of the Test series, both teams will feature in a three-match ODI series and five T20I matches on this tour.
