Holkar Stadium in Indore is set to host its 1st T20I match after a span of more than 2.5 years. The series between India and South Africa is already done and dusted, but both teams would like to get their combinations set ahead of the mega event in Australia.
KL Rahul and Virat Kohli have been rested by India, so it is clear that there will be a change in the batting combination. Shreyas Iyer should find a place in the middle-order, whereas either of Rishabh Pant or Suryakumar Yadav may open in the match. Umesh Yadav or Mohammed Siraj may also get a game.

South Africa are looking for their first win in the series, and the batters of the side will have to be at their best in order to do the same. Temba Bavuma is the captain of the side, and he is in terrible form. There is a player like Reeza Hendricks on the bench, but it will be tough to accommodate him in the presence of Bavuma.
