South Africa, India dispatch journey for top ODI spot

South Africa and India will compete for the world number one positioning again when they meet in their six-coordinate One-day International arrangement, which begins at Kingsmead on Thursday.

The one-day amusements start only five days after India held their best positioning in Tests, albeit second-set South Africa shut the focuses hole by winning the arrangement 2-1.

South Africa are over the International Cricket Council ODI rankings by a slim one point from India. With the focuses balanced after each match, there is the potential for the main position to change from match to coordinate.

In any case, South African mentor Ottis Gibson is less worried about the rankings than the long haul objective of winning the 2019 Cricket World Cup in England.

South Africa picked a major squad of 15 for the initial three recreations and Gibson said there was a probability different players could be considered for the last three.

"We're the main group right now however that doesn't mean a great deal paving the way to a World Cup," said Gibson. "Winning isn't the most important thing in the world at this stage. There is a scarcely discernible difference and we will attempt and guarantee that whatever group we pick has an equivalent possibility of winning yet we have an objective and a dream paving the way to the World Cup and we need to uncover however many players as would be prudent."

Not at all like the Tests, the One-day Internationals could be commanded by batsmen, with six of the world's best ten one-day batsmen in real life on pitches which, not at all like the Tests, should support forceful stroke play.

Indian skipper Virat Kohli heads the ICC batting list, nearly took after by his South African companion and Indian Premier League colleague A.B. de Villiers.

Be that as it may, de Villiers will miss the initial three recreations due to finger damage he endured amid the third Test.
