Hyderabad: India and South Africa will lock horns in the second T20I of the ongoing bilateral series between the two nations on Sunday. India are leading the series by 1-0 after winning the first fixture by 61 runs.
The Indian batting unit performed incredibly well in the last match thanks to Sanju Samson’s heroic knock. The Indian wicketkeeper-batter smashed a century and put himself in contention of being a mainstay in India’s T20I squad. Tilak Varma also played a handy knock in the middle-order. India’s spin duo of Varun Chakaravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi bowled impressive spells.
For South Africa, their batting unit put on a disappointing show and were skittled out for a low total. The team will hope that their batters step up this time and help the team equalise the series.
