India to take on SA in Twenty20

International cricket match in Durban India will take on South Africa in the only Twenty20 International cricket match of the tour in Durban today. India, who are on a high after drawing the three-Test series on African soil for the first time, have now to deal with a couple of injury setbacks. The final Test took its toll as opener Gautam Gambhir hurt his elbow at Newlands and has been ruled out. The other opener Virender Sehwag was already sidelined for the rest of the tour as a precautionary measure due to a sore shoulder. Today's match will also see the return of left-handers Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina in the middle order. South Africa, on the other hand, were dealt a severe blow on Friday when their Test Skipper Graeme Smith was ruled out from today's match because of hand bruises and the onus now would be on new skipper Johan Botha to inspire the side. All India Radio will broadcast a live commentary on the match. It will be available on Rajdhani Channel and FM Gold from 5.30 pm onwards.
