In this important match, South Africa won the toss and decided to bowl first.
Currently, Team India is playing the second T20 match against South Africa at St. George Park, Gqeberha. In this important match, South Africa won the toss and decided to bowl first. It is very important for both the teams to win this match.
Let us tell you that in the first T20 match played between these two teams, Team India defeated South Africa by 61 runs. In the first match, the host players failed to leave their mark. However, South Africa would definitely like to win the second T20 match. Team India is leading 1-0 in the four-match T20 series.
If we talk about the playing XI of both the teams in the second T20, South Africa has made a change in it. Patrick Kruger has been dropped from the playing XI while Reeza Hendricks has returned to the team in his place. Patrick Kruger had a disappointing performance in the first T20. He gave a total of 35 runs in his two overs, while even the best batsmen failed to leave their mark and returned to the pavilion after scoring one run.

After this, Suryakumar Yadav will be seen batting at number three while Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Tilak Verma and Akshar Patel will also be seen playing important roles. In bowling, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakraborty and Avesh Khan will be seen performing brilliantly.
