\"IndiaJohannesburg<\/strong>: India will take on South Africa in a one-off T-20 international. The match will be played at Wanderers to celebrate 150 years of Indian settlement in the African country. The match is considered to be inconsequential as win and lose will not affect any team.<\/p>\n

Delhi opener Virender Sehwag<\/a> is missing from the squad and the explosive batsman from Karnataka, Robin Uthappa is making a comeback to the side. <\/p>\n

India is going into the match with some terrible performance in the recent past. They had a disastrous outing in both England and Australia and also failed to qualify for the finals of the Asia Cup<\/a> in the conditions suited to them.<\/p>\n

In the past India has struggled at Wanderers as the pitch is expected to offer pace and bounce to the tall and quick South Africans fast bowlers.<\/p>\n

South Africa is also resting some of their players as both Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel is missing from the team along with one-day captain AB de Villiers. <\/p>\n

Indian Squad<\/strong>: MS Dhoni (C), Virat Kohli (vc), Robin Uthappa, Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Praveen Kumar, Vinay Kumar, Rahul Sharma, Yusuf Pathan, Manoj Tiwary, Irfan Pathan, Ashok Dinda<\/p>\n

South Africa Squad<\/strong>: Johan Botha (C), Farhaan Behardien, Faf du Plessis, Colin Ingram, Jacques Kallis, Richard Levi, Albie Morkel, Justin Ontong, Wayne Parnell, Rusty Theron, Lonwabo Tsotsobe, Morne van Wyk, Dane Vilas<\/p>\n
