Preview

India (IND) are set to host South Africa (SA) in the first T20I match at Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday. India beat Australia at home in the three-match T20I series by 2-1 after their poor showings at the 2022 Asia Cup tournament in UAE. Indian batting unit is looking strong with the return of form for the star batter Virat Kohli but bowlers are struggling for consistency lately. This will be India's last T20I series ahead of the upcoming 2022 T20 World Cup.

South Africa beat Ireland and England in their latest T20I series last month with impressive performances from Reeza Hendricks and Tabraiz Shamsi. South Africa managed to draw the five-match T20I series to 2-2 against India in June but are second favorites to win in the first T20I on Wednesday.
