IND vs SA 1st T20I Live Score: South Africa Win Toss, Choose To Bowl First In Series Opener

Background

IND vs SA 1st T20I Live Score: Welcome to ABP Live’s live coverage of the India vs South Africa 1st T20I of the four-match series in the Rainbow Nation. The IND vs SA series opener will take place at Kingsmead in Durban and India will be led by Suryakumar Yadav whereas South Africa will be led by Aiden Markram. 

Interestingly, the IND vs SA T20I will be a rematch of the T20 World Cup 2024 final at Barbados where India beat South Africa to clinch their second T20 WC title. South Africa will have revenge on their minds going into the match against the Men in Blue.

The Proteas come into the series after a 2-0 Test series victory over Bangladesh in their recent away tour. Their last T20 International match was in September against Ireland in Abu Dhabi, where the series ended in a draw.

India enter the series following a 3-0 home Test series loss to New Zealand. However, the squad travelling to South Africa features players who were not part of that Test series, as they focus on preparations for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. India’s last T20I series came against Bangladesh at home where they massacred the visitors by 3-0.

The Suryakumar Yadav-led side is expected to maintain a similar combination in their playing 11, with a few forced changes due to injuries. Riyan Parag, Mayank Yadav and Shivam Dube will miss out, paving the way for debutants Ramandeep Singh, Vijaykumar Vyshak and Yash Dayal to make their first appearances against the Proteas. Sanju Samson will be looking to build on his remarkable century against Bangladesh, which contributed to India's total of 297 runs.
