Team India coach Gary Kirsten had said earlier that the South African tour of India will be like a major mission and will matter a much for practice for World Cup. The Indian team didn’t disappoint the coach. They drawn the series, won the only T20 match. And now are looking in much better condition to win the ODI series.
India is ready to win their first ever ODI series in South Africa in the 4th ODI only. The guests are already having a lead of 2-1 in the 5-matches series. The platform for the 4th ODI is ready and will be played today on Jan 21 at St. George’s Park in Port Elizabeth.
India’s record is not good at St. George’s, as the team has lost all the 4 matches played here. On the other hand, South Africa has played 25 matches here, of which it won in 16 and lost 8 matches.
Team India would keep M Vijay out of today’s squad, as he has not shown any promise in the matches played before. Parthiv Patel can get a chance over him. Bowlers are doing their job well with the bat as well, but India has to overcome from the failure of top-order batsmen.
South Africa would be under a huge pressure. Captain Graeme Smith too has said this that they are under pressure and have to win this do or die match. South Africa doing doing changes in the team has called all-rounder Albie Morkel and wicketkeeper batsman Morne Van Wyk, who knocked an excellent half-century in his debut T20 match against India recently.
The match will be aired on Ten Cricket Live at 6 pm.
