New Delhi: The ODI matches between India and South Africa are starting from today. Both teams will face face-to-face at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.

Team India will play an ODI match for the first time at this stadium. Shikhar Dhawan is the captain of Team India for this ODI series.

Only 2-3 players of the recently concluded T20 series are part of this squad. On the other hand, South Africa will go into the ODI series with their same team, with whom they have played the T20 series.

In the absence of senior players of Team India, there will be a good opportunity for the young players in this series. Rahul Tripathi, who has been performing brilliantly in the IPL for a long time, can get a chance to make his international debut this time. It will also be an important series for Mohammed Siraj and Deepak Chahar. By performing well in this series, these two players can claim to replace Bumrah in Team India’s T20 World Cup squad.

How is the mood of the pitch?

The Ekana Stadium has so far hosted three ODIs, played between Afghanistan and West Indies. Runs were not scored much in these three matches. However, there has been a good rain of runs in the recent T20 matches here. In such a situation, it is possible that good runs can be scored in today’s ODI.
