SA vs IND 2nd T20I: Match Preview
A clinical bowling performance, spearheaded by the spin duo of Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi, coupled with Sanju Samson’s blistering century, helped India secure a comfortable victory in the first T20I. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side has been firing in all cylinders and we can expect similar on November 10 as well. As for South Africa, they did a decent job at the back end of their bowling but their batters need to step up against India’s spin challenge. The Proteas still want to avenge their T20 World Cup 2024 Final loss.

Expect seamers to enjoy bowling, especially with the new ball. The likes of Gerald Coetzee, Arshdeep Singh and Marco Jansen will be a handful for batters. However, if bids time, a batter will be able to muster runs here. Batters will need to adapt to the conditions and play cautiously initially, before accelerating their innings. Scoring runs won’t be easy on this wicket. Only once has been the 200-run mark breached while batting first in last 10 T20 matches here.
