Match: India vs South Africa, ODI 1 of 3
Date: 06th October 2022
Time: 01:30 PM IST
Venue: Ekana Sports City, Lucknow.
Pitch Condition: The black soil pitch at the Ekana Sports City does give the pacers an extra zip and bounce off the surface, with the spinners also probably coming into the game afterward. Overall, it is a decent enough pitch for the Batters. The average score in the most recent games at this pitch is 144.6, with the pacers making the most of the pitch’s forward conditions. Overall, the field is still biased in favor of the batters, who will probably score enough runs after some time on the field.

India vs South Africa – Team Performance in the Past Matches
With a convincing yet comforting 49-run victory against India in the third and final T20I on Tuesday at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore, South Africa wrapped up the T20I series on a positive note. India, captained by Rohit Sharma, won the first T20 in Thiruvananthapuram by eight wickets, and the second game in Guwahati by 16 runs, thereby winning the T20I series 2-1. But with a change in the squad, India struggled to score runs in the third ODI. Also, the bowlers were very poor, without picking wickets.
Even though the bowlers’ performance was not up to the level, the batters showed excellence in the first two matches. But an entirely different team will play the ODI matches due to the coming T20 World Cup this month. The star players will all rest during the series. Shikhar Dhawan will lead the Indian side with the assistance of Shreyas Iyer.
The South African side will be led by Temba Bavuma. They have a full-length squad for this series. The Proteas generally had a brilliant record in the ODI series against India on Indian soil and they will be hoping for a win with a team that is testing their bench strength.
