The 1st ODI of the 3-match series between India and South Africa will be played at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. There are some weather concerns in the match, and it will be interesting to see the impact of rain in this match.
The T20 World Cup is on the radar, and the 14 Indian players involved in the World Cup are not playing this series. Shikhar Dhawan will be leading the side, whereas there are high chances of Rahul Tripathi playing this match. Deepak Chahar and Mohammed Siraj will be leading the pace attack of the side.
South Africa lost the T20Is, but they will fancy their chances in the ODIs against India with the majority of their big names missing. David Miller was excellent in the T20Is, where Quinton de Kock also played a good knock in the last T20I. The bowling unit of the side looks great.
