South Africa have won an important toss at the Centurion and have decided to bowl first. The series is levelled at 1-1 and India have brought in Ramandeep Singh in place of Avesh Khan in this game. South Africa, on the other hand, have included Lutho Sipamla in place of Nqabayomzi Peter and it promies to be a high-scoring encounter on a flat deck at the SuperSport Park.

IND vs SA: Toss Update

India's move to include Ramandeep Singh in place of Avesh Khan will strengthen their batting and the management would be hoping that he fills the pacer's slot as well with some economical overs. India are batting first for the third consecutive time in this series and they would be hoping that their batters fire today after their failure in the last game. The pressure will be on Abhishek Sharma to deliver who has not been able to notch up a big score in the five games he has opened from Bangladesh series.

South Africa, on the other hand, have added an extra pacer in place of the leg-spinner Nqabayomzi Peter and he needs to play a big role if the Proteas want to keep the Men in Blue in check. It is a good chasing ground though, and South Africa would be backing themselevs to chase a target of anything under 200.
