Miller made 75 off 63 while Klaasen made 74 off 65. For India, Shardul Thakur was the pick of the bowlers, finishing with 2/35 from eight overs.

India captain Shikhar Dhawan won the toss and opted to bowl first against India after the rain delayed the toss by two-and-a-half hours. The hosts have given ODI debuts to Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ravi Bishnoi. South Africa captain Temba Bavuma said he would have bowled first as well. Dhawan hopes to get something out of the moisture in the pitch.

India will take on South Africa in the game of the first three-match ODI series on October 6. Having won the T20I series in impressive fashion, India will be keen to carry forward their form in the ODI format. In the ODIs, India will be led by Shikhar Dhawan. The veteran opener will have a young team at his disposal. The likes of Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer will be keen to contribute heavily with the bat and impress the national selectors. Sanju Samson wasn’t selected in the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup in Australia. Samson also would want to make a point by showcasing his utility as a wicketkeeper-batter.
