South Africa vs India 1st T20I Playing 11, live match time (IST), streaming

In the first T20 International of four-match series, South Africa captain Aiden Markram won the toss and elected to bowl first against at the Kingsmead Stadium in Durban on Friday (November 8). Meeting after the historic T20 World Cup 2024 final in Barbados, South Africa would have revenge on their minds going into the match against the Men in Blue.   However, the IPL 2025 mega auction would be on mind of the players competing in the match. 

1st T20I: South Africa vs India Playing 11

 

South Africa playing 11: Ryan Rickelton(w), Aiden Markram(c), Tristan Stubbs, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Patrick Kruger, Marco Jansen, Andile Simelane, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Nqabayomzi Peter  

 

 

India playing 11: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson(w), Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakaravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan. 

  Here's what both the captains said at the toss:  Aiden Markram, South Africa captain: We are going to bowl first. Looks a pretty good wicket. There has been some rain around this week and if there's moisture we want to make use of it. Fantastic opportunity for guys to make their debuts at home and it is a great time for them to enjoy the game. We are quite a competitive team and the discussions have been how can we get positive results.

 

Suryakumar Yadav: We were looking to bat first. The wicket looks nice, better than the practice wicket and we will try to put runs on the board. The guys in the dressing room have made my job easier, the fearless approach they play with for their respective franchises and have brought the same approach to the team.  The Proteas entered the series on the back of a 2-0 Test series win over Bangladesh during their recent away tour. Their last T20 International match was in late September against Ireland in Abu Dhabi, where they finished the series tied.  

Meanwhile, India comes into the series after a 3-0 home Test series loss to New Zealand. However, the squad traveling to South Africa comprises players not involved in that Test series, as they prepare for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
