South Africa Team News & Playing 11
The Proteas managed to reach a competitive first-innings total of 269 at Durban, courtesy of a fabulous knock from skipper Faf du Plessis (120 runs off 112 balls). But he will be out of the remainder of the series due to finger injury. Farhaan Behardien will replace him. The hosts will have high hopes on veteran Hashim Amla who has an ODI average of 76.90 at the SuperSport Park. Morne Morkel and Kagiso Rabada were the only bowlers who looked like troubling the Indian batsmen. And with the pitch at this ground being conducive to pace bowling, these two are likely to put pressure on the visitors by picking up early wickets.

India Team News & Playing 11
A masterclass innings by Virat Kohli (112 runs off 119 balls) and a resilient 79 from Ajinkya Rahane helped India ease past South Africa's total of 269. Shikhar Dhawan also looked fluent in his knock of 35. But it is skipper Kohli who will once again be the key man for his side when it comes to batting. Wrist-spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal brought India back in the game taking five wickets and conceding just 79 runs in their combined 20 overs. However, the visitors will have to rely on pacemen Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah to do the job at Centurion as the wicket there will not offer much turn to the spinners.
