Live Cricket Score, India vs South Africa in World Cup 2019: South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss and elected to bat against India in their ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 match at the Rose Bowl in Southampton on Wednesday.
India went with two pacers - Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah - and two spinners - Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal- while Hardik Pandya and Kedar Jadhav will play the role of all-rounders.
The injury-ravaged South Africa brought spinner Tabraiz Shamsi into the playing XI, while playing two allrounders in Chris Morris and Andile Phehlukwayo. South Africa's pace spearhead Dale Steyn was ruled out of the World Cup Tuesday due to a shoulder injury, while Lungi Ngidi too is nursing a hamstring strain. South Africa has lost their opening two matches, while it is the first match of the World Cup for India.
