SA bat and bring in Markram for de Villiers


Live scorecard and ball-by-ball details

As much as South Africa want to experiment ahead of the World Cup, they saw a flat pitch in Durban, knew the new ball would move more under lights, and made a straightforward decision to bat. Faf du Plessis and his men are riding a serious winning streak, having won their last 17 ODIs at home.

India, too, appear a formidable limited-overs team and they’ve persisted with the combination that has fetched them a lot of success since the Champions Trophy. They went in with two wristspinners – left-armer Kuldeep Yadav and right-armer Yuzvendra Chahal – but more interested was the inclusion of Ajinkya Rahane at No. 4.

South Africa: 1 Hashim Amla, 2 Quinton de Kock (wk), 3 Faf du Plessis (capt), 4 Aiden Markram, 5 JP Duminy, 6 David Miller, 7 Chris Morris, 8 Andile Phehlukwayo, 9 Kagiso Rabada, 10 Morne Morkel, 11 Imran Tahir

India.: 1 Rohit Sharma, 2 Shikhar Dhawan, 3 Virat Kohli (capt.), 4 Ajinkya Rahane, 5 MS Dhoni (wk), 6 Kedar Jadhav, 7 Hardik Pandya, 8 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 9 Jasprit Bumrah, 10 Kuldeep Yadav, 11 Yuzvendra Chahal
