India, South Africa to clash in opening of 3

In Men’s Cricket, India and South Africa will clash in the opening of the three-match ODI series at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi today. The match will begin at 1:30 this afternoon. Led by KL Rahul as stand-in captain for the series, India will be eager to bounce back in a format they have traditionally dominated at home, following a recent disappointing performance in the Test series whitewash. Both Rohit and Virat Kohli return for the ODIs, with the senior duo drawing attention after their match-winning 168-run partnership in the final ODI of the recent Sydney series. India will be under pressure to start strongly against a confident South African side led by Temba Bavuma.
