IND vs SA Betting Tips
Rohit Sharma to score over 30.5 runs
Rohit Sharma is the leading run-scorer for India in 2025. He has scored at least 31 runs in 4 of his last 5 matches, including three half-centuries and a century. Sharma has also scored two centuries and a half-century in his last 4 innings against South Africa, and we are backing him to play a good knock.
Highest Individual Score - Over 101.5
Raipur is another very high scoring venue and we think it is quite likely that at least one of the batters from either side will get a century. Bet big on this one as the returns are very attractive.

IND vs SA Team Previews
India
After a disappointing outing in the Test series, India roared back to form with a thrilling win over the Proteas on Sunday. They will now look to push ahead with the same momentum and win the second match as well.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli produced yet another masterclass on Sunday, adding 136 runs for the second wicket, and helping the team post a match-winning total. Rohit Sharma went on to score a half-century, while Kohli produced a brilliant century. They remain the vital cogs in India’s batting line-up.
There were also a couple of good performances from Rahul and Jadeja. However, the team will expect better batting from the youngsters, including Ruturaj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Also, India’s bowling wasn’t up to the mark on Sunday, and that is one area that needs work.
While Kuldeep Yadav and Harshit Rana picked up 7 wickets between them, they went at over 6 runs per over. Similarly, Prasidh Krishna, Ravindra Jadeja, and Arshdeep Singh were also expensive. Another high scoring match where the bowlers will struggle for control is likely in store.
India Playing 11
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad, KL Rahul (C & WK), Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana

South Africa
After a victorious journey through the Test series, South Africa went into this ODI with plenty of confidence. However, they ended up on the losing side despite putting in a good effort with the bat.
Playing without the experienced duo of Keshav Maharaj and Lungi Ngidi, South Africa’s bowling appeared lackluster as they gave away too many runs.
The Indian middle order had no problems facing the inexperienced Prenalan Subramanyan and Corbin Bosch during the middle overs, and that proved to be the difference between a win and a loss at the end. The visitors could be tempted to bring in Ngidi and Maharaj for this match.
The top-order batting is another area where the team lacked intent. Quinton de Kock and Aiden Markram have plenty of experience playing in these conditions but weren’t able to make an impact. However, there are a few positives that South Africa will take from Sunday. Marco Jansen remains in incredible form with the bat and ball as he scored a half-century while also picking up two wickets.
Corbin Bosch and Matthew Breetzke also played impressive knocks, and the middle order looks pretty strong at the moment.
South Africa Expected Playing 11
Aiden Markram (C), Ryan Rickelton, Quinton de Kock (WK), Tony de Zorzi, Marco Jansen, Matthew Breetzke, Dewald Brevis, Corbin Bosch, Prenalan Subramanyan, Nandre Burger, Ottneil Baartman
IND vs SA Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The Raipur Stadium has hosted only one ODI to date, and not much is known about how the pitch will behave. Nevertheless, we expect a balanced surface and a good contest between bat and ball. The surface is likely to be hard and flat, and the seamers can expect early movement. However, once the batsmen settle down, playing shots will get easier.
The team batting first will aim for the 300-run mark, as the dew will make it easier for the team batting second. The weather will remain clear with temperatures under 28 degrees, and there will be plenty of dew as the match progresses.
IND vs SA: Who Will Win?
We are backing India to win this match. They put up a strong performance in the first ODI and will continue playing well. Given the batting form of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, we reckon India will put up another good batting effort. India is such a dominant ODI force, especially at home, that betting on it makes sense even with the admittedly poor odds being offered.
Bet on India to win.
