South Africa 213/4 in 20.0 Overs | India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd T20I: Chase already wobbling as India lose Suryakumar Yadav, Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill in quick succession

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd T20I: India captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and opted to bowl in the second T20I against South Africa in New Chandigarh. India arrive in New Chandigarh for the second T20I after showing they can handle a damp night and dew in Cuttack. South Africa travel from east to north-west with no training day and need to respond quickly. India lead the recent head-to-head 6-2 but want to prepare for all situations in their nine home matches before the World Cup.

The second T20I marks the venue’s first men’s international after hosting two women’s ODIs between India and Australia earlier this year. India’s combinations will depend on conditions, with possible changes involving Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, or Harshit Rana. South Africa may consider one change with the allrounder option for Lutho Sipamla.

The ground has no tall stands, so dew has limited impact on the surface. IPL teams batting first hold a 6-5 record here, with both high and low totals defended. Fast bowlers have often been effective on this pitch.

India playing XI: Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav (C), Tilak Varma, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah.

Tristan Stubbs, Keshav Maharaj, and Anrich Nortje are out for South Africa. Hendricks, Baartman, and Linde make it into the XI.

South Africa playing XI: Quinton de Kock (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram (C), Dewald Brevis, David Miller, Donovon Ferreira, George Linde, Marco Jansen, Lutho Sipamla, Lungi Ngidi, Ottneil Baartman.
