After a convincing win in the first T20I, India will hope to keep the winning run going when they lock horns with South Africa in the second T20I on Sunday, October 2. The Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati will host the clash, which promises to be nothing short of a nail-biter.
Arshdeep Singh stole the limelight in the series opener and proved that he is ready to shoulder the responsibilities at either end of a T20 innings. The onus will now be on Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid to fix roles for other bowlers with Jasprit Bumrah’s T20 World Cup participation in jeopardy.
South Africa, on the other hand, have some chinks to iron out despite their hugely impressive form in the format over the last year. They will hope to put up a better performance after a dismal outing in the last game.
