IND vs SA 2022: Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati pitch history and T20I records
After a big win in Thiruvananthapuram, India will host South Africa in the second T20I of their three-match series at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. The Men in Blue will start as the favorites on Sunday (October 2) as they have won their last three T20Is against the Proteas.
