After the two-match Test series, now a three-match ODI series is to be played between India and South Africa. The first match of the ODI series will be played on Sunday, 30 November in Ranchi. Team India would like to forget the clean sweep in the Test series and maintain its dominance at home in ODIs. South Africa will keep an eye on the upset.
The command of Team India in the ODI series is in the hands of KL Rahul. Whereas Temba Bavuma is the captain of South Africa. After a long time, an international match will be played on Ranchi ground. However, Team India will definitely get the advantage of home conditions. If we look at both the teams, the Indian team seems to have the upper hand.
Pitch report of Ranchi’s JSCA Stadium
The first ODI match between India and South Africa will be played at the JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi. The pitch here is suitable for spinners. However, fast bowlers were also seen getting help in the beginning. There is very little hope of a high scoring match here. Team India has played six matches on this ground, out of which it has won 3 matches and lost one match. There was no result of one match.
