Yes it is

But it depends on the toss, who bats second

And toss depends upon your luck

Bro, toss is vital for half of the tests played...
So I like uncertainty factor in cricket also...

South Africa made a dismal start to
their 10-week tour of India, losing a
Twenty20 warm-up match to a
second-string side by eight wickets in
New Delhi on Tuesday. India 'A',
comprising young talent drawn from
across the country, chased down a
competitive 189-3 by the tourists with
two deliveries to spare at the Palam
ground.
The surprise win was fashioned by
uncapped openers Manan Vohra and
Mayank Agarwal, who gave their team
a flying start with a 119-run
partnership in 12.4 overs. Vohra hit a
42-ball 56 and Agarwal smashed 87 off
49 balls that included 12 boundaries
and two sixes. Upcoming batsman
Sanju Samson steered the hosts home
with an unbeaten 31 off 22 balls,
leaving the Proteas with much to
ponder ahead of the tougher contests
ahead.
Fast bowlers Kyle Abbott, Kagiso
Rabada and Chris Morris failed to take
a wicket, with Abbott proving to be the
most expensive by conceding 43 runs
in his four overs.
 
South African batsmen hit early form
-- the lone bright spot for them in the
game -- with left-hander JP Duminy
top-scoring with 68 off 32 balls that
included six sixes and two boundaries.
Skipper Faf du Plessis retired after
scoring a 27-ball 42 and AB de Villiers
made 37 off 27 balls, the pair adding 84
for the second wicket off just 50
deliveries after Quinton de Kock was
run out in the first over. Duminy and
Farhaan Behardien boosted the total
by plundering 44 runs in the final
three overs.
The tourists are due to play three
Twenty20 internationals and five one-
day matches up until October 25,
before starting a four-Test series on
November 5. The first Twenty20
international will be held in
Dharamsala on Friday.
