Rahul at the toss said, "A lot of positives from the last game, so just trying to continue that. And, come out here, play hard cricket again. They pushed us last game as well. We know what to expect. The boys are looking in good shape. And I'm excited about this game. Before the series as well, we spoke about it (dew). This is a time in India where there is a lot of dew. We're expecting dew in every place that we play. So, the bowlers have spoken about it. A few tactics and a few things that we've spoken about, which I think we did really well in the last game."

Temba Bavuma at the toss: "We are gonna have a bowl. (On the pitch) It's very hard to say, to be honest. We're hoping that as the night comes in, the dew comes in, it gets a bit easier with the ball skidding more. But it's very hard to say what it's going to play like. A lot of positives (from the last game). We did very well to get the game to that point, looking at the way we started in our first 10 overs of our batting, it shows that belief is there. We've got three changes. Myself, Keshav Maharaj and Lungi Ngidi will be coming in. No changes in terms of the combination. Big game for us, chance to keep the series alive."
