IND vs SA 2022, 2nd T20I: Today's match players list, teams & umpires
Team India will look to seal the three-match T20I series when they take on South Africa in the second game at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Sunday, October 2. The hosts were completely dominant over the Proteas in the opening T20I in Thiruvananthapuram, registering an eight-wicket victory to take a 1-0 lead.
Bowling first after winning the toss, the Men in Blue reduced South Africa to nine for five in the third over. The match was pretty much decided in that phase. Arshdeep Singh exploited the helpful surface brilliantly, dismissing Quinton de Kock, Rilee Rossouw, and David Miller in one over. Deepak Chahar also chipped in with two wickets.
India lost Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli early in the chase. However, Suryakumar Yadav and KL Rahul cracked impressive half-centuries to guide the team home. There was some criticism of the latter’s slow batting. To his credit, he hung around and found some rhythm in the second half of his innings.
