Match Preview
South Africa bounced back well with a 51-run win over India in the previous game. Quinton de Kock set the tone with a superb 90 at the top, while Donovan Ferreira and David Miller finished the innings strongly to take the total to 213.
In reply, India had a poor start with Shubman Gill falling for a duck, and apart from Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya and Jitesh Sharma, no one could show real intent with the bat. India will have plenty to think about going into this game, and skipper Suryakumar Yadav will also be keen to return to form after a few quiet outings.
Quinton de Kock remains a strong captaincy pick given his form, while Hardik Pandya and Marco Jansen are safe options for captain and vice-captain roles.
