India INDand South Africa SA are all set to clash against each other in the second T20I of the five-match series at theMaharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh, on Thursday, December 11. It is worth noting that after winning the opening contest, the Men in Blue will look to extend their lead.
In the first T20I at Cuttack, South Africa were bowled out for their lowest-ever T20I total of 74 to hand India a dominant 101-run win. The star of the night was Hardik Pandya, who made a memorable comeback with an unbeaten 28-ball 59 that pushed the hosts to 175/6 in their allotted 20 overs.
India's innings got off to a poor note as Suryakumar Yadav fell after hitting a four and six, and Shubman Gill's return from injury lasted just two deliveries. Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma stabilized the innings, while Axar Patel added important runs before Pandya took on the opposition bowlers.
