SA vs IND Dream11 Prediction: Welcome to the Boxing day Test match between South Africa and India. It is the first match of the series and both teams possess potent bowling line-ups, but it’s difficult to judge their batting units before the series begins. India has never won a test series in SA and that is the only silverware that is missing after their terrific performance in England and Australia in the past few years. South Africa on the other hand will look to continue their dominant run at home. We have a spectacular series on the cards.
