2/10/2018 South Africa seek change in direction as AB de Villiers returns - Cricket Betting Tips FreePreview by WWW.JSKTIPS.COM
After three excoriating experiences in the one-day series thus far, South Africa need any snippet of optimism they can find as they try to pick themselves up for the remaining three games against India. Fortunately for the hosts, Cricket Betting Tips Free they received the biggest boost they could hope for when it was confirmed that AB de Villiers has recovered from a finger injury and will take his place in the side for Saturday’s (February 10) fourth ODI at the Wanderers. In the two games since Faf du Plessis was ruled out by his own finger problem, South Africa have lacked an anchor in the middle order against the spin threat of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav. Free Betting Tips Cricket “We’ve spoken a lot about how crucial partnerships are, and unfortunately we haven’t had the opportunity to put together partnerships,” JP Duminy said after the heavy defeat at Newlands. In truth Duminy had the opportunity to put together partnerships in the third ODI during the course of his 51, but was unable to construct anything greater than the second-wicket stand of 78 with Aiden Markram. Cricket Tips Free There appears to be a lack of confidence among the batsmen, who look like a collection of individuals adrift at sea. The return of de Villiers might just be the life raft that they need to regather themselves into a batting unit.

Then there is the issue of Virat Kohli, Cbtf Cricket who has made the Proteas attack look toothless. But South Africa know that they were close to dismissing him early in his innings in both Durban and Cape Town, and feel that if they can get past the Indian captain then they can test a middle order that is yet to be put under pressure. That is the positive way of looking at the situation, anyway. Another plus-point is that South Africa have won all five Pink ODIs, and the occasion has often spurred them on to some of their best performances. Match Betting Tips They will need one if they are going to change the course of a series that has been embarrassingly one-sided up until now. When: Saturday, February 10. 13:00 local time, 16:30 IST.
