India 30-0 (3 ovs) vs SA 149-5 | Scorecard

Kagiso Rabada to open the bowling for South Africa against the experienced Indian opening duo of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan.

He starts with a wide down the leg side to Rohit Sharma, before the right-hander is struck on the pads next ball and then blocks the next ball.

Rabada then bowls another wide down the leg side as the wicketkeeper fails to collect it cleanly to give away two wides.

Dhawan then slaps the fourth ball square on the off-side through point for a four to get off the mark in confident fashion and then takes one as eight come from the first over.

Right-arm fast bowler Anrich Nortje to bowl the second over. Dhawan runs the first ball down to thirdman for one and Rohit is beaten next ball trying to play the cut shot but then pulls the third ball for a six.

Another short ball which Rohit pulls over square leg for another six as 13 comes from the second over.

Dhawan continues India's fiery start as he drives Rabada through the covers for a four and then gets another boundary through the thirdman region.

A single to Dhawan as India race to 30 for no loss in three overs.
