Hashim Amla: He is a classy, stylish batsman in rich form. Of late, in Tests, he has combined grace with steely determination with successful results. Amla averages 46.42 in 23 ODIs at a strike rate of almost 85. He has enough talent to become a good ODI player as well and the third ODI gives him a chance to cement his place.
Team news

JP Duminy has headed home to South Africa because of a finger injury sustained in Gwalior, opening up a spot in the middle order. It's a toss up between Loots Bosman and Albie Morkel, who could get the nod because he provides a bowling option.
