India have won the toss and opted to field against South Africa.

Suryakumar Yadav said, 'We'll bowl first. It looks like a good wicket and shouldn't change much. There will be dew later, so bowling first makes sense.'

Axar Patel and Bumrah miss out, while Harshit Rana and Kuldeep Yadav are included in the playing XI.

Aiden Markram, 'We'll assess the conditions upfront and aim for a good score. The boys are excited after playing a couple of games here. We have three changes in the lineup tonight. Bosch, Nortje, and Stubbs come into the playing XI.'
