After winning the 1st T20 from a losing position, South Africa will be keen to double their lead as India look to make amends and square the series going into the 2nd T20
Match Preview
After making a mockery of a steep run chase, South Africa would want to have one hand on the paytm trophy when they clash against hosts India in the 2nd T20 of the paytm series. Both teams will be looking to improve their bowling ahead of the second game as their batting is pretty strong.
Electing to field first after winning an important toss, South Africa couldn’t stop leaking runs till the last over as Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya massacred the South African bowling putting up a massive 211 runs on the board, which was India’s highest total in T20’s against South Africa.
In reply, the visitors were even better in a powerplay as Dwayne Pretorious, who came in at number 3 after Bavuma was nicked off cheaply played a riveting cameo scoring 29 of just 13 balls, with 28 runs coming in boundaries. Rassie Van der Dussen, who struggled to score freely, finished with a staggering 75 of 46 as he along with David Miller strung together a riveting 103 run partnership to take the Proteas to their highest successful run chase.
Team Preview
Although the Indian batting is as deep as the Indian ocean, the bowling was as haphazard as the irregular monsoons. Harshal Patel and Bhuvneshwar Kumar started well, but were hammered at the back end. Chahal, although he didn’t bowl his full quota, was also hammered and even Axar Patel and Hardik Pandya going for runs meant that even 211 was not enough. Going into the second game, bowling in tandem and picking up wickets in the middle overs is necessary.
The visitors too will be aware of how dismal they were with the ball and in the field. Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada leaked runs, Nortje was okayish but one of the key plus points was Wayne Parnell, as he was the most economical bowler in the game. They will look to play the same side in the tournament and will be keen to go 2-0 up in the series.
Match Prediction
Although South Africa have landed the first blow, the hosts are expected to make a comeback and square the series in some style as they will be keen to get back to winning ways. We predict INDIA as the favorites in this match.
Betting Tips
India is predicted as the winner for the match.Players to watch out for will be :
Shreyas Iyer – He can be the highest run getter in this match as he showed glimpses in the first T20. He took a special liking for Tabraiz Shamsi and walloped him all around the Jaitley Stadium.
Yuzvendra Chahal – We predict Chahal to pick up the highest wickets in the match, as he would like to overcome the disappointment of the 1st T20
Quinton De Kock – The South African southpaw, as per our prediction will smash the most number of sixes in the match
