Fresh from their victory at Johannesburg, South African cricket team batsman JP Duminy expects the Indian cricket team to provide close contest during the six-match ODI series and improve their modest record here. “India are a phenomenal ODI side and they’ve managed to compete in all conditions around the world. They have a few new faces and few young players but also a lot of talent,” Duminy told reporters here today. 1 ranked team, you expect nothing less from them.”Batsmen from both sides struggled during the Test series on bowler-friendly pitches. South Africa will also be keeping a close eye on their preparation for the 2019 World Cup as this ODI series begins.
