South Africa tipped to wrap up series

Jacques Kallis led South Africa to victory over India in the first match of their three-game one-day series against India in Belfast and the South Africans are 3/10 (1.30) favourites to win the second match on Friday.

The flu that ripped through the India squad left them depleted going into the opener and it remains to be seen how they are for Friday's encounter, but bet365 make them 12/5 outsiders to level the series.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Sreesanth and Ajit Agarkar all missed the first match and much will depend on how quickly they recover. Dhoni is expected to play and he would be a boost to India's hopes with his lower-order hitting.

The first match was tight and needed the cool head of Kallis to see South Africa home. In that context, India will not be downhearted and may yet level the series. However, the flu may have affected others in their camp and a bet on India would be a leap of faith.

Kallis the obvious favourite
Kallis tops the betting to be South Africa's top runscorer with bet365 making him their market-leader at 10/3 (4.33).

AB de Villiers, Morne van Wijk are both 4/1 chances, while Herschelle Gibbs is 9/2 and Jean-Paul Duminy 11/2. Mark Boucher is 6/1 and the hard-hitting Justin Kemp is 7/1.

As for India, Sachin Tendulkar, who was run out for 99 in the first match, is the favourite to be India's top runscorer, at 10/3, with former captain Sourav Ganguly is 4/1.

Skipper Rahul Dravid is 9/2, with Yuvraj Singh and Gautam Gambhir are both 11/2 and the recovering Dhoni is a 6/1 bet.
