IND vs SA Match Preview

This match will take place at picturesque Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala starting at 1.30 pm IST.
India Team News
- Though India are coming off a disappointing series in New Zealand where they were whitewashed by 3-0 in ODI series. This will be a different ball game altogether for them as they have the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Shikhar Dhawan and Hardik Pandya coming back in this series whom India missed badly.
- Prithvi Shaw is likely to open with Shikhar Dhawan followed by Virat Kohli, who is due for a big one. Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul will look to impress again with the likes Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja providing the depth and balance to the side. The presence of Hardik Pandya will allow Kohli to play the combination of ‘Kulcha’. Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar will share the new cherry.
Players to pick from India
Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Prithvi Shaw, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah
South Africa Team News
- South Africa are coming off a moral boosting victory against the mighty Aussies with a very young side. They were without Kagiso Rabada and Faf du Plessis for that series which in itself is an achievement.
- Janemann Malan has been in good form with a century against the Aussies and he should partner Quinton de Kock at the top of the order. Faf du Plessis will hold the key in the middle order with David Miller and Henrich Klassen. Keshav Maharaj will be selected as the only spin option most likely. Anrich Nortje and Lungi Ngidi will look to strike with new ball as there will be some help from the surface. There will be a toss up between Simpala and Beuran Hendricks with the latter might just get the nod due to his experience.
Players to pick from South Africa
Quinton de Kock, Faf du Plessis, Heinrich Klaasen, Janneman Malan, Anrich Nortje, Lungi Ngidi, JJ Smuts

IND vs SA Pitch Report
The pitch in Dharamsala will help the fast bowlers with new cherry but after the ball loses its shine it will become good for batting and runs will be there for the taking. A bit of spin might keep the spinners interested during the middle overs and due will also play a crucial factor so toss becomes decisive for both the teams. But the weather forecast doesn’t look promising for the day and we can have a shortened game.
