Deepak Hooda replaced Axar Patel in India's playing XI, while Lungi Ngidi has replaced Tabraiz Shamsi in South Africa.
Digital Desk: Suryakumar Yadav hit fifty in 30 balls as India seeks to build a competitive total against South Africa following Lungi Ngidi's havoc.
Lungi Ngidi took four wickets to dismantle India's top-order, putting the onus on Suryakumar and Dinesh Karthik to guide the team to a respectable score.
Dinesh Karthik leaves the field after scoring 6 runs off 15 balls. He was struggling in the middle, and his inning ended on Wayne Parnell's pitch. Karthik tried to take on a short ball from the left-arm pacer but got an outside edge on the draw and was out on backward point.
Meanwhile, Anrich Nortje took one wicket as India struggled to a dismal start against South Africa. Earlier, Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bat first against South Africa in the Group 2 encounter on Sunday in Perth.
