4 Match prediction

Even though South Africa have an impeccable bilateral T20I series record against India, the home side will be the marginal favourites in the 1st T20 because they are coming off a confidence-boosting win over Australia a few days back. Of course, SA can surprise anyone on their day, but India looks more solid now with Virat Kohli looks in good touch.
