South Africa have won the toss and they will bowl first.
While Bhuvneshwar Kumar did all the damage inside the powerplay in Cuttack, a certain Umran Malik alongside will definitely strengthen the India bowling lineup against the mighty South Africans.

India will be wary of Heinrich Klassen factor on Tuesday. The right-hander simply took the game away from India single-handedly in Cuttack and will be aiming to continue his momentum in Vizag too.
