- India: Suryakumar Yadav's men are in excellent form. However, Abhishek Sharma's form (three consecutive ducks) is a concern, leading to speculation about Sanju Samson's inclusion. Jasprit Bumrah's return to home soil makes the Indian bowling attack impenetrable.
- South Africa: Aiden Markram's Proteas have shed the "chokers" tag this time around. The aggressive batting of Quinton de Kock and Tristan Stubbs and the speed of Kagiso Rabada will pose a major challenge for Team India.
