India will take on South Africa in 1st of the three T20Is scheduled to be played at Kingsmead ground in Durban. The Indian men's cricket team recently won the T20Is vs Australia at home with 4-1 margin and will be aiming for a repeat of the same show at least. However, beating South Africa in their backyard is no easy task. It will require a huge effort from this Indian team to beat the Proteas Men. In the 24 T20 matches between India and South Africa, India has won 13 times, while South Africa has claimed victory in 10 matches. One match concluded without a result.
As far as picking your best team for the game on the apps is concerned, keep it mind the injury list, the conditions of the venue and the form of the players. There are many big hitters in this competition. Watch out for the likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh and Ishan Kishan who have the capability to play unconventional shots, which may come in handy at this ground. Lungi Ngidi is the only player injured from both the squads. So, don't pick him in your Dream11 teams. Apart from him, there are no injury concerns, at least till the writing of this article.
The pitch is traditinally a slower surface which plays fairly. Expect a good contest between the bat and ball.
