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.
