IND vs SA Dream11 Match Preview

IND vs SA Dream11: After a torrid time in New Zealand, the Indian team is back in their own den and would be welcoming South Africa for a three-match ODI series starting from March 12th. This would be India’s penultimate assignment before the IPL gets underway.

The first match of the series will be played at the HCA Stadium in Dharamshala, followed by fixtures in Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow and Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

The visitors are coming into this series after thumping Australia 3-0 in a three-match ODI series at home. A clean sweep is always a good sign for any team’s preparation but especially after losing the T20I series 1-2.

As far as the current form is concerned, both teams are almost sailing on the same ship which makes this series an evenly contested one right from the very first fixture.
