Pakistan began their campaign with a commanding seven-wicket win in the first ODI. Their bowlers put up a stellar perfor?mance, restricting the Proteas to 239/9. Despite some tense moments in the chase, Pakistan reached the target with three wickets in hand?????????????????????????? and just three balls to spare.

Wanderers Stadium Pitch Report

The Wanderers Stadium pitch in Johannesburg is traditionally a batting-friendly surface, but recent rainfall may introduce some early moisture, offering fast bowlers an advantage at the start. Pacers who utilize these conditions effectively could find success, while spinners might play a ?bigger ro?le as the pitch dries out later. With a typically quick outfield, sharp fielding will be essential.

Johannesburg Weather Forecast

The weather for the third ODI between South Africa and Pakistan in Johannesburg promises to be favourable for cricket. Overcast skies will dominate the day, with the temperature at a comfortable 17°C. High humidity at 96% may create a damp atmosphere, which could play a role in the pitch’s behaviour, potentially assisting bowlers early on.

Fortunately, there is no rain in the forecast, so interruptions are unlikely. Light winds at 8 km/h will not pose much of a challenge for the players. Overall, conditions seem ideal for an exciting game of crick?et, with the cloud cover potentially adding a little spice for the bowlers in the initial stages.

The 4-match T20I series between South Africa and India has reached an intriguing phase, with both teams having one win each. India dominated the first T20I in Durban, securing a convincing 61-run victory. However, South Africa bounced back strongly in Gqeberha on Sunday, clinching a thrilling three-wicket win to level the series. With the stakes high, former Proteas cricketer Herschelle Gibbs has weighed i?n on the outcome,? offering his thoughts on what might unfold in the remaining matches.

Herschelle Gibbs predicts the scoreline and winner of SA vs IND T20I series

Gibbs, known for his explosive batting and sharp cricketing insights, shared his prediction for the series. Reflecting on the first two games, he emphasized that South Africa have a full-strength squad, while India are playing without some of their key experienced players. Gibbs believes this could give the Proteas an edge, despite India’s depth in talent.

“Anything can happen. I think those sorts of wickets will suit the Indians more. Then come Johannesburg and the Wanderers at Super Sport Park, I’m expecting some high scoring games. Anything can happen in those games,” Gibbs told SportsBoom.

W?ith the series now tied, Gibbs foresees South Africa securing a 3-1 victory, citing their team strength and experience in handling pressure situations.

“After the first two games, the Proteas are with a full-strength team. India come with a team that’s not as experienced. I’m expecting at least a 3-1 series win with the Proteas,” predicted Gibbs.

India’s depth in talent and ability to thrive under pressure

Gibbs acknowledged India’s depth in talent, despite not having their big names in the squad for the series. He pointed out that the Indian team thrives under pressure and in high-stakes situations, particularly in front of large crowds, something they are accustomed to. With the conditions in Durban and Port Elizabeth potentially suiting India, Gibbs reckoned the team could perform well in these venues. He emphasized that the remaining games will be crucial, expecting high-scoring encounters and highlighting that India’s depth will make it a challenging and exciting test for both sides.

“I think they’ve got a lot of depth. Even though the big names are not here. They thrive on pressure and big occasions. They thrive on big crowds because they’re used to playing in front of big crowds. With the conditions in Durban and Port Elizabeth, they might fancy themselves there. Like I said, the last two games, anything can happen, and I expect big scores. India has the depth there. It’ll be a good test,” Gibbs added further.

West Indies cricketer Fabian Allen encountered a distressing incident when he was reportedly attacked and robbed at gunpoint outside the Paarl Royals team hotel in Johannesburg, South Africa. The unsettling episode occurred on the sidelines of the SA20 2024 tournament, leaving the 28-year-old?? allrounder visibly shaken.

West Indies cricketer faces terrifying gunpoint robbery

According to reports from Cricbuzz, the assailants brandished a gun, confronting Allen near the Sandton Sun Hotel. In the course of the incident, they forcibly took his phone and other personal belongings, including a bag. However, it has been confirmed by a Cricket West Indies (CWI) official that Allen wasn’t physically harmed during the ordeal.

“Our head coach, Andre Coley, also hailing from Jamaica, reached out to Fabian. Contact was successfully established through Obed McCoy (another West Indies international). He is fine. CSA (Cricket South Africa) and his team, Paarl Royals, could share more details if there are any,” an unnamed CWI official was quoted as sayi??ng by ??Cricbuzz.

A valuable allrounder for the West Indies

The SA20 playoffs kick off from today, with the Super Giants facing the Sunrisers Eastern Cape in Qualifier 1 in Cape Town. The Royals, featuring Allen, will be in action tomorrow in the Eliminator match against the Joburg Super Kings in Johannesburg.

The South African captain, Aiden Markram, has shared his thoughts on the disheartening defeat against India in the Johannesburg ODI on Sunday (December 17).

Dominant bowling performance by India pacers

In a commanding display at the New Wanderers Stadium, Team India secured an emphatic victory over South Africa in the first ODI. The win gave India a decisive 1-0 lead in the ongo?ing three-match ODI series.

Opting to bat first, South Africa faced significant struggles, managing to post a modest 116 runs in 27.3 overs. The Proteas’ batting woes were evident, with no player reaching a half-century. Andile Phehlukwayo emerged as the top scorer with 33 runs.

For India, left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh showcased his bowling prowess, claiming a remarkable maiden five-wicket haul, while right-armer Avesh Khan contributed with fi?gures? of 4/27 in his eight overs.

Clinical run chase by Team India

Responding to South Africa’s below-par total, the Men in Blue, led by half-centuries from debutant Sai Sudharsan (55 not out) and Shreyas Iyer (52), efficiently chased down the target in just 16.4 overs. The visitors’ batting prowess was on full display as they secured the win with eight wickets in hand.

Aiden Markram addresses South Africa’s tough defeat

During the post-match presentation, Markram added a touch of humour by jokingly expressing that he wouldn’t choose to bat first if given the toss again.

After the light-hearted remark, Markram acknowledged his team’s initial intent to set a substantial score. He credited the Indian bowlers, recognizing their outstanding performance that contributed to South Africa’s challenging position. The Proteas skipper admitted that his team struggled to make a comeback in the contest, emphasizing the need for strategic assessment and intelligent decision-making.

“Probably not (on batting first again on this pitch and chuckles),” Markram said.

“Tough one (the loss). We would have liked to put on a really good score batting first. Credit to their bowling attack with the lateral movement. We were not even allowed to settle and build a partnership. The problem was right from the start and could not pull things back. (Misread the pitch?) We expected it to go around a little bit. Generally in the day games it does do something for 5-7 overs, we have seen that before. But today it went along for longer and we couldn’t get in and build partnerships,” the 29-year-old added.

Batters’ responsibility and India’s lead

Markram further emphasized the responsibility on the batte??rs to assess situations, plan strategically, and make intelligent decisions in challenging circumstances.

“I think it comes down to individuals (on aggressive batting) When you are out there you have to assess yourself and communicate with the partner. We encourage guys to be positive but also choose smart options. We will have to assess,” the Centurion-born cricketer concluded.

With India’s resounding victory the focus now shifts to the upcoming second ODI in Gqeberha on Tuesday (December 19). The clinical performance by India have set the stage for an intriguing contest as both teams vie for supremacy in the 50-overs format.

In a dazzling display of cricketing prowess, the Indian cricket team delivered a resounding performance in the opening game of the three-match ODI series against South Africa at the legenda??ry New Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. The Proteas faced a daunting challenge as the Indian bowlers orchestr??ated a batting collapse, resulting in them registering their lowest-ever ODI total at the iconic home venue.

South Africa’s dismal performance with bat

Winning the toss and opting to bat first, the South ??African innings crumbled for a mere 116 runs, and the Wanderers Stadium bore witness to a monumental batting collapse. The fall of wickets was nothing short of dramatic, with key players succumbing?? to early dismissals, leaving the Proteas in disarray.

Astonishingly, Reeza Hendricks, Rassie van der Dussen, and Wiaan Mulder all departed without opening their accounts, compounding the home side’s struggles.

Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan wreak havoc in Proteas camp

The architects of South Africa’s downfall were undeniably the Indian pace duo of Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan. Arshdeep’s remarkable spell saw him claim five crucial wickets, including two in successive deliveries during his opening over. Avesh Khan complemented the onslaught with four wickets of his own, wreaking havoc on the Proteas’ batting lineup.

Arshdeep’s sensational swing, coupled with Avesh’s ability to consistently hit the right areas, left the Proteas’ batters grappling for answers. The lethal combination of these two bowlers marked a sensational arrival for India in the ODI leg following the drawn T20I series.

Historic low for South Africa at Wanderers Stadium

The dismal total of 116 runs not only handed India a commanding advantage but also etched a new record as the lowest ODI total for South Africa at the Wanderers Stadium. This surpassed the previous low set during a Women’s ODI between Bangladesh and South Africa when the home side bundled out the Tigresses for 142 runs.

Social Media abuzz with praise

Here’s how fans reacted:
