IND vs SA Dream11 Preview: 

Host India would welcome South Africa for a three-match T20 international series and the first of the three T20s will be played at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala.

South Africa will be playing their first bilateral series after the World Cup tournament and this edition again has been a disaster for the Proteas who even failed to make it past the group stages. Not only this,  they have four wins, a tie and a loss from the six T20 internationals they have played this year.

India, on the other hand, have been busy even after the World Cup. Recently they were on a  month-long tour of the West Indies and the USA which began last month. India came out with a 100% success rate in the series with defeating Windies in two tests, three ODIs and as many T20Is.

The match is set to begin at 7:00 PM IST.

• IND vs SA Dream11 Team Prediction:
• R Sharma has scored 2422 runs which include 4 hundred and 17 fifties in T20 cricket. You remember, Rohit had slammed 106 off just 66 balls in the T20I against South Africa at this ground in 2015.
• Virat Kohli has been standing alone for this side. He is the leading run-scorer for India in this format with 21 half-centuries. His average in the T20 format is 49.4. Don’t miss him out.
• N Saini has been impressive in the shortest format. He was the best bowler against the West Indies with five wickets and an economy rate of 7.09.
• Reeza Hendricks was seen hitting back to back the fifties while playing for South Africa A against India A. He is in super form and was the highest run-getter in the home T20I series against Sri Lanka earlier this year.
• K Rabada is a key African bowler and has bagged 25 wickets in the 19 matches he has played in the format.
• Q de Kock is one of the leading run-scorer for Africa in this format. I hope you remember his hitting a half-century against Australia in the World Cup.
