South Africa vs. India T20 Series Preview

South Africa will take India on in four T20 matches with a two-match test series against Sri Lanka to follow. Easybet previews the action between two of the world’s highest-profile cricket nations.

The Proteas will face India in a four-match T20 international series from 8-15 November that is essentially a rematch of the T20 World Cup final in June.

India are not only the world champions, having beaten South Africa at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, but also the world’s in-form T20 side.

They have won every T20 series they have featured in since the conclusion of the World Cup. Additionally, they won the away series against Zimbabwe 4-1 before beating Sri Lanka 3-0 on the road. The world champions then went on to claim a 3-0 home win over Bangladesh.

India is playing 2.00 for the win in the first T20 international at Kingsmead for India.

When Are the T20 Internationals?

The teams will face off at Kingsmead in Durban in the first T20 international on Friday, 8 November.

They will then go on to play each other on Sunday, 10 November, in Gqeberha.

The third T20 international will take place on Wednesday, 13 November, at Centurion.

Finally, the series will conclude on Friday, 15 November, in Johannesburg.

Odds for T20 Internationals Between South Africa and India

Easybet is offering odds of 2.00 for India to win at Kingsmead in Durban. This represents significant value for money, as India has only lost one T20 international since they became world champions.

England have won four of their five internationals at Kingsmead and never lost one. One of their four wins came in a bowl out and the other of the five matches ended in a draw.

India should thus be considered superb value for money to win away from home.

However, the Proteas do boast a group of strong players with a point to prove such as David Miller. They thus do have the potential to pull off a win on home soil. 

There are no certainties in online sports betting and the Proteas are offering 1.85, indicating how tight this game and this series are expected to be.
