Preview: On July 28, India will attempt to continue their winning run against South Africa in the one-off test series. India’s 3-0 comprehensive victory in the ODI series has given them a lot of momentum and self-assurance. Although the outcome might seem unfair on the surface, South Africa was able to give India a difficult time on multiple occasions. The Proteas most famously came dangerously close to setting a world record during the second ODI.
