IND vs SA 2nd T20: Match Preview

David Miller played a brilliant inning of 64 and Resie van der Dussen 75 for South Africa. Both of them added 131 runs in the fourth wicket partnership and gave their team an easy victory.

Team India captain Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya sweated profusely on Saturday. The spectators who came to watch the match practice were making noise on his every shot.

For the second T20, South Africa hardly make any changes in their playing XI, but Team India can make a change. Harshal Patel and Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s speed was very low in the first match. Also, both of them were badly hit. In such a situation, Umran Malik can get a chance. If the pitch is flat, Umran can trouble the batsmen with his fast deliveries.
