This will be the second game of the four-match T20I series. St George’s Park, Gqeberha will be the venue for this game and the match will start at 7:30 PM IST on 10th November 2024.
India won the first game by 61 runs. Sanju Samson scored a brilliant century and the spinners then never allowed the Protea batters to get going. India will be eyeing another win to strengthen their position in the series.
Meanwhile, South Africa was very average as a team. Their bowlers leaked runs and the batters failed to perform. They need to put in a lot of effort if they are to win this game. The bowlers have to be disciplined and the batters must step up for them to do well.
