While South Africa remains unchanged, India made a couple of changes to their side, with Rajat Patidar making his debut and Washington Sundar getting a game“It is a hot day, tempreatures in the mid 30s. The pitch is dry, has a bit of grass covering. The pitch will be on the slower side. It makes sense to bowl first, because the pitch does something under lights. The average score in the first innings at Paarl is 272, if the team gets anything near that or more than that, they should be good”, reckons Vernon Philander in his pitch report.
