IND vs SA 2nd T20I Match Preview
India posted a strong total on a challenging surface in the previous T20I and then bundled South Africa out for just 74, winning by a massive margin thanks to all-round impact from Hardik Pandya and disciplined bowling by Bumrah and company. India’s top order of Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav looks settled, with Tilak Varma and Shivam Dube providing firepower in the middle and Axar Patel offering depth and control. South Africa will depend heavily on Quinton de Kock, Aiden Markram and the explosive Dewald Brevis and Tristan Stubbs to counter India’s high-quality pace-spin attack, while Marco Jansen and the pace trio Ngidi–Nortje–Sipamla must strike early to contain India’s batting. Expect India to start favorites again, but South Africa’s power-hitters ensure high-risk, high-reward fantasy potential.
IND vs SA Mullanpur Pitch Report
The surface at Mullanpur is generally a true wicket with even bounce, offering good value for strokeplay while still giving seamers some assistance with the new ball and spinners grip as the game progresses. Scores around 165–185 are typically competitive, and chasing teams can score quickly if wickets are in hand, so a balanced Dream11 combination of top-order batters, two to three all-rounders and attacking bowlers from both sides is recommended.
IND vs SA Weather Report
Conditions are expected to be clear and suitable for a full 40-over contest, with mild evening temperatures and only a slight chance of dew, which may make batting a bit easier in the second innings and offer some grip reduction for spinners later on.
