    What's the story

    After a thrilling T20I series, South Africa and India are set to lock horns in the 1st of the three-match ODI series at the New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg.

    While the three-T20I series ended in a draw, the two teams would be raring to draw first blood this time.

    The news from the center is that SA have won the toss and elected to bat.

    Teams

    Sai Sudharsan receives his maiden cap

    South Africa (Playing XI): Reeza Hendricks, Tony de Zorzi, Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram (captain), Heinrich Klaasen (wicket-keeper), David Miller, Wiaan Mulder, Andile Phehlukwayo, Keshav Maharaj, Nandre Burger, and Tabraiz Shamsi.

    Pitch

    A look at the pitch report

    The surface at the New Wanderers Stadium is expected to be quite dry with a bit of grass on the same.

    One expects runs aplenty on this track, with the dimensions of the ground aiding six-hitting.

    Pacers can inflict some damage early, while spin will also come into play.

    The third T20I at this venue saw India score 201 runs. SA perished for 95.

    Conditions
