India will meet South Africa in the 2nd T20I today on Tuesday, December 12 in Gqeberha formerly known as Port Elizabeth. The first T20I between hosts South Africa and India was washed out by rain in Durban.
Both team will be looking to take a series lead today. Team India landed in the city on Monday and had no time to hit the nets. However, this lack of one day's practice will have no effect on their performance as they have been playing T20Is for the last 20 days.
Not all Indian players have played at this venue in South Africa. So, assessing the conditions will be a challenge. Suryakumar Yadav, India's captain for this series, had said that the visitors are looking to play fearless cricket, something which they did against Australia at home. India are looking to play the same brand of cricket on this tour as well.
South African players will be itching to get back into some competitive international cricket after resting up for nearly a month following a disappointing end to a promising ODI World Cup 2023 campaign. The Proteas team management has picked the likes of Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller in the T20I setup after giving them rest in the previous series to solidify their squad.
