The IND vs SA rivalry is 94 matches old as far as ODI cricket is concerned, which dates back to 1991, which was South Africa's first match after readmission into cricket.
Although India won that particular game, it is South Africa that has dominated the rivalry with 51 wins as compared to India's 40, while the remaining three games have ended without yielding a result.
However, the story has been a bit different when it comes to the last five IND vs SA matches, with India winning four of those and South Africa getting the better of India once.
If we talk about the last meeting between India and South Africa in this format of the game, it was the former who came out victorious by a margin of two matches to one against the latter.
Notably, India has won three of the last five ODI series that the team has played against South Africa, including a couple of wins in South Africa.
South Africa, on the other hand, has come out on the right side of the result twice in the last five meetings against India, which includes an iconic 3-2 win in India in 2015, with the visitors registering a thumping win in the series decider in Mumbai.
Both teams would give their best in a bid to win the match and take a 1-0 lead in the series, which can prove to be crucial, taking into account the short turnaround time between games.
All things said, India will start the series opener as slight favorites as they would be aware of the conditions being the home team.
