Bhubaneswar: India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat first against South Africa in their third Group 2 match of the Super 12 stage in the T20 World Cup.

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik(w), Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh.
India has played South Africa 23 times in T20Is and won on 13 occasions. South Africa won nine times while one game ended with no result.
