Team News
Speaking of India, the Rohit Sharma-led team will march into the series with great confidence. The Men in Blue won the T20I series against Australia and will need to address a few concerns. Death bowling has been a great concern for India and they will look to address the same in the series.
Speaking of South Africa, the Temba Bavuma-led team are in supreme form. They have won four of their last five T20Is and will look to fire from the start. Quinton de Kock might be a threat for India given the southpaw’s strong history against the team. David Miller might threaten team India and might finish matches single-handedly for the Proteas.
It can be risky for the teams to experiment with their playing XI as the 20-20 World Cup is just around the corner.
