Toss: India to bat first
India Legends won the toss & chose to bat first.
Surprising decision, considering the team batting second has won 80 percent at Green Park Stadium. Perhaps the Indian team is hoping to wear out the South Africans by the end of the 40 overs. Hope to not see a Lance Klusener 25-ball 100 winning the match in the second innings.
