SA vs IND 2nd T20I Match Prediction [Source: @BCCI/x.com]
It’s game time again as India and South Africa get ready for the second T20I at St George’s Park in Gqeberha on Sunday, November 10. India is riding high after a big win in the first match and will be looking to wrap up the series whereas South Africa will be desperate to level the series and keep the battle going.
South Africa
South Africa needs a serious bounce-back if they want to stay in the series. The first match saw them concede a massive 202/8. Their bowlers struggled, with only Gerald Coetzee showing some fight by picking up three wickets. Marco Jansen and Keshav Maharaj had their moments, but the rest took a real pounding.
Moreover, South Africa’s top order crumbled with Aiden Markram and Tristan Stubbs falling short. While Ryan Rickelton, Heinrich Klaasen, and David Miller got a few runs, none of them managed a big score. With the series on the line, the Proteas will be hoping for a much stronger team effort.
India
On the other hand, Indian batters went berserk from the get go as they put on a show fans won’t forget anytime soon. Sanju Samson led the charge with a belligerent 107 off 50 balls with seven fours and ten sixes.
When it came to defending their total, India’s spinners, Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi, were unstoppable, each grabbing three wickets. South Africa was bowled out for just 141, with India walking away with a big 61-run win. The Men in Blue will look to continue the good run of form and clinch the series.
