Easwaran and Panchal, who are on the fringe of India’s selection will also be looking to impress the selectors. On the bowling front, the likes of Umesh Yadav will be looking to make a mark after the national snub while the spin bowling department by Gowtham.

South Africa A: The visitors will hope their batsmen go on and convert the starts that they got in the first match.
