South African captain Aiden Markram won the toss and elected to bowl first against Suryakumar Yadav-led Team India at St George’s Park in Gqeberha on Sunday.
Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav after the toss said, “We wanted to bat first and play same brand of cricket, happy with the things in the last match. You always learn something or the other in every game. We want to continue the good habits. No changes, playing with the same XI.”
After winning the toss South African captain Aiden Markram said, “We are going to bowl first again. With rain around, that’s the obvious part. Hope the bowlers use the moisture. Kruger is out, Hendricks is in. We are not concerned about the outcome or result.”
