India v/s South Africa 1st ODI Match Commentary: India snatch defeat from jaws of victory
Ind vs SA

Welcome to the LIVE coverage of the India v/s South Africa Ist ODI of the Freedom Series beginning at 9 am IST at Kanpur. 

South Africa have managed to get past the hosts in the T20 series by winning it 2-0 and will be bolstered by the arrival of the pace duo of Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel. Whereas India will look to bounce back after the series defeat in the shortest format of the game and also maintain their second position in the ODI rankings. Here is the match preview.

South Africa have won the toss and they have elected to bat first on a Green Park wicket which has a tinge of grass covering. MS Dhoni looked happy as he would have bowled if he had won the toss.
