India vs South Africa, 2nd T20I: India win toss, opt to bowl first

After the first T20I was washed out due to continuous rain, both India and South Africa would aim to put in their best effort in Mohali.

Mohali: India won the toss and opted to bowl first against South Africa in the second T20I of the three-match series, at Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium here.

After the first T20I was washed out due to continuous rain, both India and South Africa would aim to put in their best effort in Mohali as they know that the winner would not lose the rubber. With the stakes so high, there is, therefore, not much scope for mistakes by either of the teams.

The Men in Blue would be brimming with confidence following their superb show against the West Indies in their recent tour. India were absolutely ruthless against the West Indies, with only rain denying them a clean sweep of the Test, ODI and T20 series contested between the two teams.

On the other hand, Quinton de Kock will be hoping to lift the morale of the Proteas, which would be on the floor following their dismal performance in England in the World Cup.
