Rishabh Pant led Indian side would be chasing history when they take on South Africa as a victory in this match will take them to 13 consecutive T20I wins since the end of the T20 World Cup in 2021. Currently, India sits at joint top of the most consecutive T20I wins alongside Afghanistan and Romania with 12 wins each. 

Here's how the Playing 11 of India and South Africa would look like

The Indian team is without the services of KL Rahul and Kuldeep Yadav and hence in place of Rahul, who was supposed to open the innings, Ishan Kishan might get a chance with Deepak Hooda at number three and  Shreyas Iyer at four. The lower middle-order would have the likes of Pant, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik and Axar Patel. The bowling would then comprise Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yuzvendra Chahal. 

On the other hand, South Africa will come in with the experienced pairing of Temba Bavuma and Quinto de Kock as openers, who will be backed by the likes of Reeza Hendricks, and Rassie van der Dussen and Aiden Markram in the middle order. David Miller will play the role of a finisher while bowling would most probably be handled by three pacers in Dwaine Pretorius, Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje and Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi will be the left-arm spin duo.
