South Africa vs India 2023, 2nd T20I – Dafanews Match Preview

South Africa will lock horns against India in the second T20I at St George’s Park, Gqeberha on Tuesday after the first game was washed out due to rain. With the T20 World Cup almost six months away, both teams will look to put their best step forward and prepare in the best possible manner.

In fact, India has only five T20Is to go before they play their first match of the T20I showpiece and thus the young players will want to make a case for their selection.

We look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

India convincingly defeated Australia by 4-1 and they will aim to continue the good show against the Proteas. All eyes will be on players like Rinku Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Mukesh Kumar, who impressed against the Aussies.

Current form for South Africa: L L L L W

South Africa had lost their last four matches and they will look to turn the tables against India. In the absence of Quinton de Kock, Reeza Hendricks will aim to grab his opportunity with both hands and provide a solid start to his team at the top of the order.
