Our Prediction:

India may not find a great start, but will compete. In form Africans will meet intermittent dips. In the end, with probably a twist, Africa will manage to win.

Result:

South Africa (270 for 7 in 50 overs) won against India (252 for 6 in 50 overs) in the 3rd ODI at Rajkot by 18 runs.

Our ‪prediction for this match was that India will not have a great start, South Africa’s performance will dip in between and at the end with a twist South Africa will manage to win.

The result turned out to be exactly that. India did not start well with a mediocre bowling performance, but South Africa could not capitalize on the bad bowling by India and managed to score 270 runs which was a chaseable total. India consolidated its innings by not loosing too many wickets and till 193 they were only 2 down. After this point they lost Dhoni, Raina, Virat and Rahane in quick succession, ensuring a win for the visitors.
