South Africa’s opening pair gave them South Africa a lot to be happy about in the first game. They raced off the blocks and the batting unit as a whole was full of intent throughout the game. India though struggled with the new ball and with no clear sixth bowling option they were left scrambling for bowlers in the death.

Reeza Hendricks
Quinton De Kock’s unavailability gives Reeza Hendricks an advantage. He has a series here to play himself in and show that he should be the first-choice opener in the side.
Ravi Bishnoi
Bishnoi has silently gone on to become the number-one T20 Bowler in the World. He is a unique leg-spinner and could be a challenge for South Africa, which hasn’t seen much of him.
Both South Africa and India are trying some new players here. India though do have some experience in their side and could back themselves to make a mark in South Africa.
