The fourth ODI between South Africa and India, which is also a Pink Day One Day International, has been sold out. The Proteas have been pretty destructive when playing in pink over the last few years. They have four wins from four matches when they have played pink. Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers and Quinton de Kock have shared five centuries between them in those games.

The South African batting has devastated the opposition bowling whenever they have played in pink. The Proteas have managed totals of 343, 358 and 439 batting first and are very proud of their unbeaten record.

The Pink day is marked as an occasion to raise awareness about breast cancer and raises donations on the platform. The funds raised this year will be going to the Breast Care Clinic at the Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital.

South Africa and India will play a six-match ODI series scheduled to begin on 1st February. The fourth ODI which will be a Pink day ODI will be played on 10th February at the Wanderers in Johannesburg.

The management is lending full support to the pink ODI and has confirmed Miss South Africa Ade van Heerden has been appointed as a Pink Day ambassador. This is in addition to Pink day’s fashion ambassador David Tiale, who was announced the ambassador last year. Tiale said:

“I have enjoyed hearing about the way South Africans unite for an incredible cause, at an event that has an electric atmosphere and fans and supporters dress up to show their support. This year I want to call on everyone to #PitchUpInPink and take their self-expression to a whole new dimension and style.”
