Overview

• The toss was held roughly an hour late after afternoon showers, and the start was moved to 4 p.m. local time with no overs lost.
• South Africa made one change with Tumi Sekhukhune replacing Masabata Klaas, while India brought back Amanjot Kaur for Renuka Singh.
• India entered 2-0 and can go top of the table with a win, as South Africa sit 1-1 after a heavy loss to England followed by a strong victory over New Zealand.
• Forecasts point to further showers that could force interruptions or a reduced-overs contest, and there is no reserve day so a washout would mean one point each.
• The Vizag pitch is expected to favor batters early before bringing spinners into play, with possible evening dew seen as an advantage for the chasing side.
