A win in the ODI series helped India get over their drought in South Africa of a series win in the shorter format of the game. Virat Kohli would like to carry forward his winning momentum into the shortest format of the game, when India clashes with the Porteas for the 1st T20I at the New Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. The two teams have met twice in this format at the Wanderers and both have won once each. India clearly have the upper hand going into this series as they outplayed the hosts in both batting and bowling departments in the ODIs.
