SOUTH AFRICA VS INDIA, 1ST T20

ABOUT THE MATCH
The ODI series has ended with the most emphatic loss ever for South Africa at home. Yes, there were a few big name players missing but there is no doubting the dominance of India in this contest. The visitors were better in every aspect of the game by a huge margin and that was most emphasized in their final victory where they almost cantered to a win. Only the T20 internationals remain in this tour and it remains to be seen whether South Africa will be able to make a comeback or the Indians will continue to dominate proceedings.
India vs South Africa which will take place on 18th February on New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg. SOUTH AFRICA VS INDIA, 1ST T20 is very good ODI Series where we got to see brilliant performance from Team India they just made it again we all know how strong they are but to show that you have to work hard and that they have done .

It is a shorter format so teams required good run rate from start of inning , and if we look at ground than its history says that Bats 2 means chase team have more and better chance to win game , India are not performing good with bat only but they are getting good wickets too and dominating proteas very badly . South Africa now need some good performance from their players in game so that they can win , but the run master Virat Kohli is doing fantastic job with bat and Captaincy . We have got to see to many players of Africa getting out of tournament due to injury and more than 3-4 players ruled out of whole Series and that can be a reason they are not on good track and getting lost match.

Both South Africa and India have a very strong batting lineup
India's bowling looks better than South Africa's at the moment
India has a lot more players in form than South Africa
India's confidence will be sky high after having beaten South Africa convincingly in the ODI series. 
India have won six out of the ten T20 internationals they have played against South Africa. 
The hosts who are already without du Plessis and de kock have rested several key players for this series.

PITCH AND CONDITIONS
We are back at the Wanderers for the first T20. India lost their only ODI at this ground and that should give the South Africans some hope. The South Africans also defeated India the last time the two  teamsmet here way back in 2012.
The pitch is expected to be flat and offer very little to the bowlers. The weather forecast is pretty good for the first half of the match with some rain expected in the area as night falls. Hopefully, though, we will be able to get a full match in without any delays.
