South Africa made a major change as well. Premier pacer Kagiso Rabada missed the match because of a rib injury. Corbin Bosch came into the side as his replacement. The Proteas also relied on spin and all-round strength to balance their lineup.

India’s squad featured Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Washington Sundar, Shubman Gill as captain, and Pant as wicketkeeper. Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Siraj completed the team.

South Africa lined up with Aiden Markram, Ryan Rickelton, Wiaan Mulder, Temba Bavuma as captain, Tony de Zorzi, Tristan Stubbs, Kyle Verreynne, Simon Harmer, Marco Jansen, Corbin Bosch, and Keshav Maharaj.
