Prediction

Beating England in England is not going to be an easy task for sure. Especially after the way England has comprehensively beaten the Australian team. Talking about T20 cricket, it is anyways unpredictable and above that England have had some really good limited overs players in last couple of years. Virat Kohli and team will have to perform to their optimum to provide some memorable performances out there. This would also serve as a preparation for the team when they next visit England for the ICC World Cup 2019.

India faces Ireland for two T20 matches before taking on England

India vs Ireland T20 Matches 2018

India faces Ireland for a two T20 matches before they face England for an arduous series. While Ireland is a good team and capable enough to provide good resistance to the Indian team, this couple of matches would also serve an opportunity to the Indian team members to get acclimatized for the two month long England tour. Overall, the tour to Ireland and England also serves an opportunity for the players to show their skills for the forthcoming world cup which is to be played in England in 2019. For Ireland, this is a golden chance to host one of the leading cricket teams in the world and prove their skills.

India vs South Africa 2018 ODI and T20 Series - Time for the Shorter Formats

India vs South Africa 2018 ODI T20 Series

After facing losses in the first two test matches, India managed to turn tables on South Africa and snatch a win in the third test match. This rejuvenated Indian team would look to reverse poor bilateral record in South Africa by clinching ODI and T20 series. Although beating South Africa in South Africa, in any form of cricket is almost impossible; still the shorter formats of the game come with a lot of uncertainties. On one hand South Africa have a strong team and home support, India have equally good team with a lot of positive intent.

The bilateral series between India and South Africa will be live telecast on Sony Ten 1 and 3 HD channels in India. At the same time, cricket fans can enjoy live cricket streaming on the go using Sony Liv app.

4th Feb - 2nd ODI at Centurion

21st Feb - 2nd T20 at Centurion

24th Feb - 3rd T20 at Cape Town

Head to Head

India have had a tough time facing South Africa in their own backyard. In 28 ODI matches played in South Africa, India could win just five. This poor run doesn't provide any encouragement to Kohli and his men who are trying to improve team's record overseas. But a series win especially in countries like South Africa or Australia have proven to be really fruitful for teams for their future performances. Such teams have seen a surge in confidence with a golden run to continue.

Squad

India: Virat Kohli (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Hardik Pandya, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Dinesh Karthik, Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni (wk), Axar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Shardul Thakur.

South Africa: Faf du Plessis (captain), Hashim Amla, Quinton de Kock (wk), JP Duminy, Chris Morris, Lungi Ngidi, Andile Phehlukwayo, Kagiso Rabada, Imran Tahir, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Morne Morkel, Tabraiz Shamsi, Khayelihle Zondo.
