IND vs SA Dream11 Prediction Today Match: The much-awaited two-match Test series between South Africa and India is going to start on Tuesday, 26 December 2023. This match will be played at Supersports Park in Centurion, South Africa. The record of the Indian team in Test matches played in South Africa is not that good. India has never won a men’s test series in South Africa. England, Australia, and Sri Lanka are the only visiting teams that have won here, This will not give Indians any good feeling about this failure, Especially in his era of alleged exceptionalism.
No matter how inconvenient it may be for exceptionalists, this is the truth. India has played 23 test matches in South Africa, out of which it has won only 4 matches, lost 12, and 7 matches have been drawn. The Indian team has played 9 Test series in South Africa in the last 31 years, in all of which India has lost. If India is successful in winning this test series then India will win the test series for the first time after 31 years.
Temba Bavuma and Rohit Sharma are set to play their first matches since their teams’ tragic loss at the World Cup in India last month. Winning this series will not erase the disappointment of these self-respecting captains. Perhaps nothing will happen or change.
But losing would be another devastating blow. Neither of them deserves that pain.

IND vs SA Pitch Report of Super Sports Park Stadium, Centurion
The pitch at Centurion’s SuperSport Park helps both fast bowlers and batsmen, but spinners get little to no support. The weather is expected to be windy, hence the fast bowlers will get a lot of wind support in the initial overs. The last test match that was played here was between West Indies and South Africa, in which 40 wickets fell and a total of 829 runs were scored.
The pitch at SuperSport Park is expected to favor fast bowlers and will pose some challenges to the batsmen. There is very little chance of play on the opening day of the Test and most of the second day. There will be a drop in temperature due to heavy rains which will not help the spinners much and in such a situation the role of fast bowlers will be very important.
