- New faces are added to the ODI squad as India’s T20 World Cup team departs for Australia.
India and South Africa will play a three-match ODI series starting on Thursday afternoon in Lucknow after an enthralling IT20 series concluded on Tuesday night in Indore. After playing three games in South Africa in January, this is the second time the teams have met in an ODI series this year. At 13:30 local time, this game begins at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.
In recent months, India has won ODIs and played solid cricket under the direction of Shikhar Dhawan. They will feel very secure in domestic settings.
South Africa put on a strong performance in the IT20 final on Tuesday with some white ball hitters in terrific form. They’ll use the bat aggressively during the game.
