India vs South Africa

IND vs SA 2nd T20I: Here are the Dream11 fantasy predictions and predicted XIs for the second Twenty20 International between India and South Africa in ...

However, the batting line-up is unlikely to undergo changes, South Africa could draft all-rounder Dwaine Pretorius into the team to add depth. Form Guide: W W W L W Ravichandran Ashwin could hold his spot in the eleven and shoulder the spin bowling duties with all-rounder Axar Patel.

In front of a sold-out Guwahati crowd at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, South Africa captain Temba Bavuma won the toss and, expectedly, chose to bowl against ...

He stayed unbeaten on 69 in 48 balls, a useful innings to break his run of poor scores, but had his strokeplay been as smooth as Miller's, perhaps South Africa could've even won the game despite their horrid start. Deepak Chahar - the pick of the India bowlers with 0 for 24 - kept him quiet, and once he realised that Miller could cause more damage, he went to play second fiddle. For the second game in a row, both Temba Bavuma and Rilee Rossouw were out for ducks, with Arshdeep Singh yet again taking two wickets in his first over. Both Kohli and Suryakumar were fresh at the crease, and South Africa had the opportunity to bring the scoring rate down. In all, he clubbed eight fours and seven sixes to reach his first fifty in 25 balls and his next fifty runs came in 21 balls. Even though Maharaj had Rahul lbw next over, the 12th, India were going at a run-rate of a shade under 10, and that meant he had done his bit in their pursuit for 200+. However, Kohli hammered Anrich Nortje for back-to-back fours and then Karthik, in his seven-ball 17, played with Rabada's plans by moving across to the off side early and then dragging wide deliveries over the leg side in an 18-run final over. Kohli was left unbeaten on 49, starved for strike in the final over with Karthik finding the boundaries and India finishing on 237 for 3. And off the next eight overs of pace bowling, the two batters - and briefly Karthik - pummelled 124. The difference between the two sides ended up being the solid opening partnership that India had, one which South Africa failed to reproduce for the second game in a row. He nearly dragged South Africa over the line, dominating an unbeaten partnership of 174 with [Quinton de Kock](https://www.espncricinfo.com/player/quinton-de-kock-379143). If the first T20I in Thiruvananthapuram was a tantalising contest between bat and ball, the second T20I in Guwahati turned out to be the polar opposite.

South Africa: Temba Bavuma (c), Quinton de Kock(w), Rilee Rossouw, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Wayne Parnell, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, ...

FOUR! Having been bowled out for a paltry score on Wednesday, South Africa must believe that there is no way but up. As the lone left-arm pacer in the World Cup squad, Arshdeep is all but guaranteed to feature extensively in Australia. Left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh did his reputation a world of good with a stellar show in the first T20I. Siraj, who joined the team at training here, last played a T20I in February. Bumrah’s absence opens the door for his replacement, Mohammed Siraj, to make an impact. David Miller needs 32 runs to become the leading run-scorer for South Africa in T20Is. The last T20I in Guwahati was washed out in January 2020. Rahul gets a boundary first ball of the match. Good slower ball next up and Rohit flicks this to mid-on as the ball stops on Rohit. A bit of extra bounce this time and Rahul awkwardly rides the bounce and guides it to third-man for a single. Kohli comes in and fends one that keeps low to end the over.

Hello and welcome to Zee News' live coverage of India vs South Africa 2nd T20I. This is your host Akash and I will be taking you through all the key updates from the game. India will be happy to bat first as they need to find a way to defend the total. Captain gets hit on the hand. Rahul opens the innings with a boundary. KL Rahul is batting beautifully, 3 boundaries and a huge six for the India opener so far. So the match has been interrupted as a snake entered the ground. KL Rahul is on the other hand going all guns blazing. India are batting at the economy of almost 10 per over and were still unhappy with the RR. India continue their dominance in the match as Axar Patel removes Aiden Markram. The skipper was not able to soak the pressure after playing the first maiden over. Miller batting at 195 while QDK not in any mood to score fast.

India named their squad for the three-match ODI series against South Africa that follows the T20Is with Shikhar Dhawan leading the side.

Shahbaz Ahmed, who was recently called up to the T20I squad for the South Africa series, also finds a place. Dhawan will lead a new-look India ODI squad in the series against South Africa that begins on October 6 in Lucknow. Shreyas Iyer, who is part of the reserves named for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in Australia, will be the vice-captain with Deepak Chahar and Ravi Bishnoi the other players from the standby list to be named in the ODI team.

It was a great wicket, and India put us under pressure from the start. We had to go from ball one and the freedom allowed us to express ourselves. A cheap bundling out in Trivandrum, and now quite a pasting in Guwahati. Their bowlers got the ball to swing at the top and once it stopped swinging, we saw how easy it was to bat. It is the mindset I have always played in and will continue to do the same. This is how is game is and we just want to keep him happy. The team wants to play and bowl in a certain way and we want to give them that confidence. When you are batting first, you can't set a target and you just gotta bat as deep as possible and get as many runs as possible. Execution is our plans is where our conversation is going to be. It shows why David Miller is one of the best T20 batters going around. To bowl and bat at the death is very tough. Having batted in the middle order, I have realized that it is difficult.

The delay caused due to the snake could also be considered the rarest occasion in international cricket played in India.

[Tata Steel merger is just the beginning! Dinesh Karthik then made some lusty blows in his seven-ball 17 not out. India posted a massive 237 for three against South Africa in the second T20I. Moreover, according to the television commentators, there was another snake that was spotted before the start of play in the 2nd T20I on Sunday. The delay caused due to the snake could also be considered the rarest occasion in international cricket played in India. The second T20I between India and South Africa got delayed due to an unexpected guest’s arrival at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Sunday, October 2.

This was no top edge, this was no mishit, this was a shot from the middle of the bat. On crease was Mr 360 who was changing the rules of the game. Shastri kept repeating ‘unbelievable’ – speaking for the cricketing world that was in a state of disbelief. He got a full toss on the hips and Surya, like only he can, used those magical wrists of his. Traditionally, in India, it has been a good old stadium dog that was in the habit of making its presence felt on D-Day. [Rohit Sharma](https://indianexpress.com/about/rohit-sharma/) is hurt on the finger and pain could be felt in the Indian dug-out. A full ball, slightly towards the leg-side, got a booster dose from Surya’s bat. On the central square, Rohit had company, his opening partner [KL Rahul](https://indianexpress.com/about/kl-rahul/), umpires and the team physio. In the final over it was 37. With about 7 overs to go in the chase, the two had to score close to 18 runs – three sixes – per over to win for South Africa. Being senior members of their IPL sides, they have been part of team core groups that have hatched plans against all the regulars of the Indians team. They are friends with most in the Indian team – they have shared dressing rooms and team hotels with them.

Recap of the second T20 International between India and South Africa in Guwahati.

India 6/0 after 1 over: Rahul with a punchy start to the night, four through the offside. India 21/0 after 3 overs: Rohit plays out five dot balls in Ngidi’s over either side of a six that wasn’t the most convincing shot either. India 36/0 after 4 overs: Rahul with a flick six that he is playing increasingly more frequently. A four and six (some pull shot!) by Rahul to start the over and two fours for Rohit to finish the over. Rohit is in a better rhythm now, takes on the spinner with the conventional sweep and gets a four. India 194/2 after 17 overs: Kohli joins the part in Parnell’s over. First a flick of wrists for six, then a lofted straight shot, then a four and six behind the wicket to finish the over. India 209/2 after 18 overs: It is probably the humidity but South Africa have struggled with their lengths... South Africa 45/2 after 6 overs: Markram ups the ante. South Africa 156/3 after 16 overs: The task facing SA is such that a 13-run over by Harshal Patel is under par at the moment. South Africa 102/3 after 12 overs: Miller big six off Ashwin in the third delivery. South Africa 175/3 after 18 overs: This match, perhaps not so much of a concern, but Harshal continues to be expensive in the death overs.
