India Aims to Extend Winning Streak in 2nd T20I Against South Africa
The India vs South Africa 2nd T20I match is set to take place on Sunday, November 10, at St George's Park in Gqeberha, South Africa. India, currently on an 11-match winning streak in T20Is, will look to extend their dominance and take a 2-0 lead in the four-match series. The first T20I saw India secure a convincing 61-run victory, thanks largely to Sanju Samson‘s impressive century of 107 runs off 50 balls.
Samson, who has scored two consecutive T20I centuries, will be in focus as he aims to become the first batter to achieve a hat-trick of T20I centuries. India’s performance has been bolstered by the form of their spinners, with Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi taking three wickets each in the first match.
South Africa, on the other hand, is struggling to find form after their T20 World Cup final loss. They have recently lost 3-0 to the West Indies and drawn a series against Ireland. The absence of key players like Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje adds to their challenges. Captain Aiden Markram and other senior players such as David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen will need to step up to help South Africa get back on track.
The match will begin at 7:30 PM IST, with the toss scheduled for 7:00 PM IST. It will be live telecast on Sports18 and available for live streaming on JioCinema in India.
India is expected to field an unchanged playing XI, while South Africa might make some changes to their lineup after the disappointing loss in the series opener.
