What to expect: These are South Africa’s slowest pitches, but that doesn’t mean they will be subcontinental. Although Durban has an unhappy habit of raining on cricket matches, the forecast says that shouldn’t happen on Friday. There’s a slight chance of showers in Gqeberha on Sunday.
Team news:
South Africa:
For the first time since the T20 World Cup in June, South Africa will be able to field seven of the XI who took them to the final of that tournament. But not Quinton de Kock, who’s gone fishing, and Kagiso Rabada, who’s been rested. Anrich Nortjé and Tabraiz Shamsi are available, but were not selected.
Possible XI: Reeza Hendricks, Ryan Rickelton, Aiden Markram (capt), Tristan Stubbs, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Gerald Coetzee, Nqaba Peter, Ottneil Baartman
India:
Ramandeep Singh and Vijaykumar Vyshak are in an India squad for the first time. Yash Dayal has been in the Test squad, but remains uncapped. Riyan Parag is out with what the BCCI described as a “chronic right shoulder injury”. Shivam Dube and Mayank Yadav are also nursing problems, but theirs haven’t been detailed.
Possible XI: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav (capt), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Avesh Khan, Varun Chakaravarthy, Arshdeep Singh
