India vs South Africa, 2nd T20I – Dafanews Match Preview

 

India will face South Africa in the second T20I at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati on Sunday. The hosts had taken a 1-0 lead after winning the first T20I by eight wickets and they will look to continue the good show while South Africa will aim to bounce back stronger.

We take a look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Current form for India: W W W L W

India has done a decent job in the recent past while chasing the targets but their death bowling while defending a target has remained a concern. The hosts had dominated with the ball in the PowerPlay overs as Deepak Chahar and Arshdeep Singh were right on the money. Moreover, KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav did a fine job in the run-chase.

Current form for South Africa: L W W L W

South Africa was not at their best with the bat and they will be looking to turn the tables in the all-important game. The Proteas’ batting line-up crumbled like a pack of cards and they would want to come up with a better show.

Head to Head: Matches: 23, Won by India: 12, Won by South Africa: 8, NR: 1, Abandoned: 2.

India holds a slight edge in the head-to-head battle against South Africa.

Players to look out for: Players to watch out for: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav, and Yuzvendra Chahal will hold the key for India.
