South Africa will once again rely on their strong batting lineup to deliver in this game. They also have a strong spin bowling attack, but their pace options appear to be limited. India came back from a 1-0 deficit to draw the T20I series at this venue on Thursday. The squad will be full of confidence and self-belief heading into this match.
