Toss

South Africa won the toss and decided to bowl first. South Africa(Playing XI): Hashim Amla, Aiden Markram(c), Heinrich Klaasen(w), Jean-Paul Duminy, David Miller, Khaya Zondo, Chris Morris, Andile Phehlukwayo, Kagiso Rabada, Lungisani Ngidi, Imran Tahir

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli(c), Ajinkya Rahane, MS Dhoni(w), Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah

Pitch Condition

Pitch is not a green mamba, where bowlers can control. Groundsman Evan Flint has been allowed to water the outfield only once which means dense patches are available on the pitches. A defeat at Capetown and then AB de Villiers’s imminent return to Wanderers cannot help Proteas to win the series. They are already lost their previous two matches, While Men in blue once again will try to manage the shared role of fifth-bowler responsibilities between Hardik Pandya and Kedar Jadhav.
