South Africa last met India for an ODI clash in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Indian team dominated the game against South Africa in the World Cup group stage. India always had the upper hand during that game whether it was in the field of batting or bowling.

India scored a 300-plus total while batting first where Virat Kohli hit a century, followed by a valuable knock of 77 runs by Shreyas Iyer. When it came to bowling Ravindra Jadeja took a five-wicket haul, followed by two-two wickets each by Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Shami. South Africa got bowled out for just 83 runs.
