SA vs IND 2024/25, SA vs IND Second T20I Match Report, Nov 10, 2024

South Africa chose to bowl vs. India

South Africa will look for the second match of the series under cloudy skies in Gqeberha in a bid to stop India’s good run. The tourists have won their last 11 T20Is (including the T20 World Cup final) and a 12th win will equal their best run. It will also ensure that they cannot lose the four-match series.

India were left with the same XI that beat South Africa by 61 runs on Friday, which meant all-rounder Ramandeep Singh would have to wait to make his international debut. All eyes will be on Sanju Samson, who has scored centuries in his last two T20Is. No batter has had three hits in a row.
South Africa made just one change and welcomed back Reeza Hendricks, who missed the series opener due to injury. Hendricks’ return will push Aiden Markam back to No. 3 and cost South Africa an all-rounder. Patrick Kruger, who had a forgettable night in Durban when he conceded 35 runs in two overs, was benched. The rest of the attack remained the same with two spinners in Keshav Maharaj and Nqaba Peter and three bowling options.

Whether everyone has the opportunity to demonstrate their skills will largely depend on the weather. A light drizzle began shortly after the draw and blankets were on the field with 20 minutes left before the scheduled 4 p.m. start time.

South Africa: 1 Ryan Rickelton (week), 2 Reeza Hendricks, 3 Aiden Markram (captain), 4 Tristan Stubbs, 5 Heinrich Klaasen, 6 David Miller, 7 Marco Jansen, 8 Andile Simelane, 9 Gerald Coetzee, 10 Keshav Maharaj, 11 Nqaba Peter

India: 1 Sanju Samson (wk), 2 Abhishek Sharma, 3 Suryakumar Yadav (captain), 4 Tilak Varma, 5 Hardik Pandya, 6 Rinku Singh, 7 Axar Patel, 8 Arshdeep Singh, 9 Ravi Bishnoi, 10 Avesh Khan, 11 Varun Chakravarthy
