Only Australia wins something there. England moderate. Rest are all crap regardless of who wins the toss.

Ideal situation for Ind would be SA bats first snd gets bowled out cheaply. Ind bat in relatively good batting conditions and gets a huge score. SA then is exposed to spin music and gets bowled out. Ind win by an inng 

[Trichromatic]

If India wins the toss they should look to bat first.
