After a dominant performance in the first T20I, India looks to extend their winning streak and equal their best-ever record against South Africa in Gqeberha. The previous match saw Sanju Samson making history by becoming the first Indian to hit back-to-back centuries in T20Is. As the teams gear up to face off in the second game, all eyes are on Samson to see if he can break records and become the first player with three consecutive T20I tons.
After a thrilling series opener resulting in a 61-run win for Team India, the Men in Blue are in a strong position to take an unassailable 2-0 lead against South Africa. The all-round effort from Sanju Samson, Varun Chakravarthy, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, and Ravi Bishnoi led to the first T20I victory. South Africa's lackluster batting performance and over-dependence on Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller calls for a change in their line-up if they want to stay alive in the series. Meanwhile, India's middle-order collapse will be a slight concern, but they are expected to stick with the same team and replicate their successful strategy from the first match.
After an impressive first match performance by Sanju Samson leading to India's victory, all eyes will be on him as well as the struggling Indian top order in the second T20I against South Africa. With the match taking place at St George's Park in Gqeberha, the Indian team will be looking to maintain their lead in the 4-match series. The team management will especially be focusing on improving the fall of wickets at regular intervals, which hindered India from posting a higher score in the previous match.
