IND vs SA Head to Head, Playing XI, Players List, Match Prediction, Pitch Report | India vs South Africa 1st ODI 2025

India will be playing the 1st ODI match against South Africa at JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi on November 30, 2025. South Africa played dominating cricket against India and defeated them on their home soil in a two-match test series by 2-0. However, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are returning to India's ODI squad, which will boost the team’s confidence and batting depth.

Despite having disappointing performances in the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle, the Indian Team is ruling the white-ball cricket. They have played fantastic cricket in recent times; however, India lost the recent three-match ODI series against Australia by 1-2.

KL Rahul will be leading India’s ODI Team while Temba Bavuma will be leading South Africa’s ODI Team after returning from injury. India’s batting department is much stronger than South Africa's, but the bowling department is quite concerning for India as Jasprit Bumrah and other key bowlers aren’t part of the squad.

JSCA International Stadium Ranchi Pitch Report:

JSCA International Stadium has a flat surface, and batters enjoy playing cricket at this venue. Generally, we see high-scoring matches on this ground, but spinners will be effective as the game progresses. The toss-winning team chose to bat first to post a high total and defend it with a strong bowling attack, especially spin.
