The second match of the T20I series between South Africa and India will take place in Gqeberha on Tuesday. This is after a washout in Durban prevented a toss or any balls from being bowled. The last game of the series will then take place on Thursday at Johannesburg’s Wanderers Stadium. St George’s Park will host the match starting at 17:00 local time.
This could be South Africa’s greatest chance to win because some of their bowling attack will be leaving the series after this game to get ready for the Test series against India. We anticipate that South Africa’s bowling attack will benefit from this surface since it is a pitch that favors quick bowlers.
The surfaces in South Africa might not be quite the same as the ones back home for India’s players, and Sunday’s washout will have made it harder for them to get used to the conditions. Nonetheless, India boasts elite athletes who can deliver a stellar performance anywhere.
RSA vs IND Team Preview & Squads
South Africa
Players from South Africa shouldn’t be mentally or physically exhausted going into this match because they spent the majority of Sunday afternoon in their Durban dressing room. We thus anticipate that the team chosen for this match will be the same as the one that was chosen on Sunday.
Reeza Hendricks, Owing to South Africa’s batting lineups’ depth and strength, the 34-year-old has occasionally had to exercise patience in waiting for his chance this season. In T20I cricket, he has amassed over 1600 runs. Aiden Markram, the captain has a maximum score of 70 in this format, yet in Test and ODI cricket, he has produced massive hundreds. The right-hander is a fashionable batter in the top order.
Since making his debut earlier this year, right-arm fast bowler Gerald Coetzee has enjoyed a fantastic start to his international career. He has claimed 43 wickets in 19 international matches thus far. The 30-year-old right-arm medium-fast bowler Lizaad Williams was in excellent form as he claimed four wickets in the opening two Twenty20 Internationals against Australia in August and September.

India
This is the second of India’s eight planned international matches. Although several players have returned for the Tests and ODIs, no changes are anticipated for this encounter, therefore players like Shubman Gill at the top of the order and Kuldeep Yadav returning to bowl wrist spin are expected.
After becoming the first player from India to score a century in a Twenty20 international match against Australia last month, 26-year-old Ruturaj Gaikwad will now try to solidify his spot in this Indian squad. The right-handed skipper, Suryakumar Yadav, led his team to a 4-1 victory over Australia. With 1985 runs at a strike rate of 171.71, he is among the most thrilling T20I players in the globe.
The left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh is an expert at swinging the ball. Although he can be pricey, he frequently takes wickets in this format. The young spinner Ravi Bishnoi turns the ball both ways with great length control. Out of 21 T20Is, he has a strike rate of 14.5.
The team batting first has won the last two Twenty20 International matches played at St George’s Park. Both teams will likely want to bat first in this game, according to our projection.
With Tuesday’s high teens, we can anticipate a high degree of humidity throughout this match at St George’s Park along with a lot of cloud cover.
Tuesday’s par score is expected to be between 175 and 180, with some turn for the spinners and movement of the straight for the quicks. The surface will move at a good clip.
