India vs South Africa 2nd T20I Live Updates
South Africa won the toss and elected to bowl first in the second T20I against India at St. George's Park in Gqeberha on Sunday. A light drizzle was present during the toss, hinting at possible rain disruptions later. India retained their winning lineup from the first match, while South Africa made a single change, introducing Reeza Hendricks to strengthen their side.
After an impressive 61-run victory in the first match, Team India aims to build on its momentum. Wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson, who is in excellent form, is anticipated to deliver another power-packed performance. Meanwhile, his opening partner Abhishek Sharma will be looking to recover after a lackluster showing in the series opener and a similar performance against Bangladesh.
South Africa, meanwhile, is keen to bounce back and equalize in the four-match series. Although the weather poses a potential threat, it’s unlikely that the match will be entirely washed out, though a shortened game is possible.
