IND VS SA 1ST T20I: Here are the predicted XIs and Dream11 fantasy predictions as India takes on South Africa at the Greenfield International Stadium in ...

South Africa comes into the series on the back of a 2-0 sweep of Ireland and a 2-1 win over England in T20Is.

"I'm here to make sure the guys are in the best space possible going into that big World Cup tournament. That's obviously a challenge you have to manoeuvre around," the South African white-ball skipper said on the eve of the opening T20I. We expect this to be a good series, a competitive one as well. But yeah, Bhuvi and Bumrah they always challenge you with the new ball up front," he added. India relied on their batting might to bounce back from being 0-1 down to post a 2-1 win in the recently-concluded three-T20I series against Australia.
