Pitch Report: India vs South Africa: 2nd T20I

Guwahati isn't amongst the highest scoring grounds in domestic cricket despite having boundaries on the shorter side. The overcast conditions should help the bowlers from both sides to extract some movement with the new ball. Deepak Chahar and Arshdeep Singh had South Africa in tatters in the first game and a similarly shaky start could be on the cards for the team batting first.

Team News:

India:

India will be looking to seal the series with a win here at Guwahati. However, India is currently leading by 1-0 with two games rest to play. The first game was a one-sided one as Indian bowlers knocked out the Proteas batting line-up except for some late blows by Keshav Maharaj.

For India Arshdeep and Suryakumar shines as India managed to grab a win by 8 wickets. The big blow for the side is ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah is out of the game for the next 6 months as per reports. However, the BCCI announced Mohammad Siraj as his replacement for the remainder of the South Africa series. Will India be able to keep their momentum going or the visitors will do wonders?

South Africa:

On the other hand, Bavuma and his men will be looking to bounce back and go on to the decider at Indore. In the first game, nothing was gone well for the Proteas. Be it batting or bowling, the green army failed to perform as per their expectations. Markram, Parnell, and Maharaj were only the three batsmen who scored in double figures to help SA cross 100 run mark. Will they be able to bounce back or India will grab a win again here at Guwahati?
