Temba Bavuma, the skipper, will return to lead the South African side in the ODIs. Bavuma recently captained the team to victory in the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka, which he did with great leadership and skill.

But at the same time, series significance has gained additional importance for both these teams aiming for the marquee Champion Trophy 2025; with both of them on the edge of complete stolidity, these games might also prove to be the very opportunity needed before Champion Trophy for two cricket teams full of talent and preparation for improvement in strategy for each to win.
