India vs South Africa Highlights: 1st IND vs SA T20I Match Called Off Due To Rain

The first T20I between Suryakumar Yadav-led India and Aiden Markram’s South Africa at Durban’s Kingsmead was called off due to heavy rain on Sunday, even delaying the toss. 

The teams gear up for the second T20I at St George’s Park, Gqeberha on Tuesday, eyeing different combinations for the 2024 World Cup. With the core team from the Australia series, Team India faces challenges adapting to South African conditions in their first tour to the Rainbow Nation. 

While the batting lineup is expected to hold its ground, the bowling department faces a rigorous test. In the absence of Hardik Pandya, India has opted for just five bowlers, a strategic move in conditions less conducive to spin, posing a considerable challenge for the spinners.

Captain Suryakumar Yadav aims for a strong performance after a mixed Australia series, while Aiden Markram leads a youthful South African squad against the formidable Indian side.
