4th ODI: South Africa vs India at Port Elizabeth
South Africa heads into this game with some fine form. They've dominated India so far in this series and lead 2-0 with two games remaining. Kallis, Kemp, Hall and Pollock have thrashed the Indians in this 5-game series and with two games to go, India must win both to square the series. In contrast, to South Africa, India have been abysmal. Knocked over for less than 200 in both matches played so far, they have some series problems in the batting department with most batsmen failing to score any runs with the exception of Dravid and Dhoni in the last game. Sehwag, who will captain the side in this game with the injured Dravid not playing, is in poor form and with Yuvraj Singh also not playing, the Indian's batting looks to be rather depleted.
They will be pleased with the return of Zaheer Khan to the side, with his great bowling in game three of the series. He troubled South Africa's top order and should definitely retain his place. Sreesanth is expected to replace Agit Agarkar.
South Africa look bulletproof at the moment but India will be out to rectify that and even with a rather depleted side, they will be determined to win this fourth game and have a shot at tying the series.
Get set for a great game.
