30/11/2025 12:56
The JSCA International Stadium Complex features a black-soil pitch that offers balance, with early assistance for pacers through swing and bounce. The average first-innings score is between 235-265. As the game progresses, it slows, providing grip for spinners like Kuldeep Yadav and Keshav Maharaj. In 9 ODIs, chases have succeeded 5 times (55%), influenced by evening dew. Teams might prefer bowling first. High scores are possible (highest: 348/6 by India), but expect totals around 260-290. Weather: Cloudy, 22-24°C, 50% humidity, no rain, hazy conditions.

Even before the IND vs SA ODI series, Ro-Ko did not play the IND A vs SA A One-Day matches. Both are likely to be rusty once again.

Yashasvi Jaiswal is set for ODI return after nine months, opening alongside Rohit. Ruturaj Gaikwad or Rishabh Pant would vie for the No. 4 spot.
