Match Preview:
South Africa will be hosting India to play a 4-match T20I series after a really long time. The two best teams will fight against each other for one trophy. The Suryakumar Yadav-led Indian team are in solid form as they have smashed Sri Lanka and Bangladesh within a span of three months.
India first whitewashed Sri Lanka in their hometown and then beat Bangladesh 2-1. Their next target is South Africa, who are comparatively weak in their T20I approach. Aiden Markram will lead the Proteas for the T20I series and hopes to present a good show in front of the home crowd. India are expected to get huge support from the crowd as well since Indians are everywhere.

Pitch Report of Kingsmead Stadium, Durban
The Kingsmead Stadium in Durban will be pace-friendly in the 1st game because of the overcast conditions. The chances of rain interruptions are high, hence, the batters will face difficulty. Any captain who wins the toss should look to bat first as the first innings batting average is better than the second.
