Toss: South Africa chose to bowl vs India

Aiden Markram decided his team would chase as they look to close out the series against India at a dry Wanderers on the eve of a public holiday. South Africans have been given the day off tomorrow to commemorate the Springboks Rugby World Cup win in October and they won’t mind an extra reason to celebrate.

To give them that, an experimental South African attack will have to perform well, in the absence of all their frontline pacers. With Kagiso Rabada rested, Lungi Ngidi out through injury and Gerald Coetzee and Marco Jansen released to play red-ball cricket in preparation for the Tests, left-arm seamer Nandre Burger was given his first cap and will bowl alongside Lizaad Williams and Andile Phehlukwayo.
South Africa included an extra allrounder in Donovan Ferreira in place of Tristan Stubbs and brought back experience in the form of left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj. With Tabraiz Shamsi also in the XI, South Africa have two specialist spinners in their team on the pace-friendly Wanderers deck. Their only other option would have been to play Ottniel Baartman, an uncapped medium-pacer, which may be why they opted for the combination of Maharaj and Shamsi. India are unchanged from the team that lost on Thursday, with no room for Ravi Bishnoi or Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Suryakumar Yadav, in front of a sell-out crowd, said he would have chosen to bat if he’d won the toss, which left everyone happy after the opening exchanges of the series decider.

South Africa: 1 Reeza Hendricks, 2 Matthew Breetzke, 3 Aiden Markam, 4 Heinrich Klaasen (wk), 5 David Miller, 6 Donovan Ferreira 7 Andile Phehlukwayo, 8 Keshav Maharaj, 9 Lizaad Williams, 10 Nandre Burger, 11 Tabraiz Shamsi
