ODI 1: Who Takes The Lead?

South Africa Vs India
1st ODI – 5 December, 2013 - Johannesburg

South Africa
Collectively there will be a temperamental display of ideas and execution by team South Africa. They will find themselves having to work harder to create and maintain the right balance. A lot of this will have to be re-emphasised in their bowling and fielding as execution will be poorer than expected. Batting will be wise and steady.

The Captain – AB de Villiers
De Villiers' captaincy will be aggressive and innovative. He will not shy away from following his instincts. Overall his plans are confident and capable.

India
Enthusiastic for sure, but also a little confused – it seems as if this game will be quite a challenge for team India to overcome. They will have to be more calculative and stronger in imposing their strategies. Batting will start off well, but it's the latter half where most focus will be required. An improved direction will be seen from the bowling department – this renewed effort will bring with it much deserved rewards. Fielding will need to improve.

The Captain – Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Dhoni hasn't quite adjusted yet, which is why it will be important for him to be more alert; rethink his decisions before acting upon them
