India vs South Africa Betting Tips for 1st T20I – Cricket Prediction for Most Runs and Most Wickets

It is not easy to overcome the terrible Asia cup campaign but a series win against the world champions immediately after that should have calmed things down in the Indian dressing room. They will be up against another strong T20I side in South Africa who haven’t lost a series in India to date. Their pace attack is probably the best in the world and this will be an enthralling series to say the least.

Lets predict the highest run getter and the bowler who could end up with most wickets in this series.

IND vs SA: Virat Kohli to end up as highest scorer

Virat Kohli is back. That’s the most happening thing in not only just Indian cricket, but in world cricket, at the moment. He had a terrific Asia Cup where he ended up as the leading run getter for India, and as the 2^nd highest run scorer, only next to Mohammad Rizwan, the #1 T20I batsman.

He played a fine knock in the series decider against Australia where he played some wonderful strokes. The South African pace attack will test the Indian batsmen, and only strong backfoot players can thrive against them. Virat Kohli is literally the very best backfoot player and it will be crucial for India that Virat Kohli brings his A game against the proteas to beat them for the first time in T20Is at home.
