We are all set for the action. The Indian players are in a huddle with Rohit Sharma giving a pep talk. Temba Bavuma and Quinton de Kock are the openers for South Africa. Deepak Chahar has the new ball in hand. Here we go...

SOUTH AFRICA (PLAYING XI) - Temba Bavuma (C), Quinton de Kock (WK), Rilee Rossouw, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Wayne Parnell, Dwaine Pretorius (in for Anrich Nortje), Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi.

INDIA (PLAYING XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Rishabh Pant (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer (in for Virat Kohli), Dinesh Karthik, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Harshal Patel, Deepak Chahar, Umesh Yadav (in for KL Rahul), Mohammed Siraj (in for Arshdeep Singh).

Temba Bavuma says he wasn't sure what to do first. Adds this is an opportunity to get some runs for him. Tells that it is their last opportunity before going to Australia and they will take this as a serious game. Informs Nortje is rested and Dwaine Pretorius comes in. Shares they need to bowl with confidence and execute their plans.

Rohit Sharma says they will bowl first. Adds it is a high scoring ground and feels the pitch will not change much. Informs there are three changes. Rahul and Kohli are rested. Arshdeep has some back issues but nothing serious. Iyer, Yadav and Siraj replace them. Reckons as a team they want to improve further and tick boxes. On their bowling, they need to improve and challenge themselves.

TOSS -  India won the toss and ELECTED TO BOWL!

India have already got a big heart-attack with the injury to Bumrah. But they will look to move forward and find his replacement soon, starting from this match. South Africa on the other hand have to get better in all three departments. Miller and De Kock were back with runs but the form of their skipper, Bavuma and Rilee Rossouw is a big worry. Expect some changes from both the teams. Toss and team news coming up.
