Dharamsala, March 12: Amidst growing concerns about the coronavirus across the globe, India will face South Africa in the first ODI here at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium on Thursday (March 12). But the match was abandoned after rains of varying intensity even prevented the toss from taking place.

India will be eyeing an early lead in the series, so do South Africa and the two protagonists have experienced contrasting fortunes in their last ODI assignments. New Zealand blanked India 3-0 while South Africa inflicted a 3-0 drubbing on Australia.

But past results matter for little as India is a different animal at home conditions. Can India start the series brightly or will the Proteas make the early running? Follow MyKhel Live Update here.
