The anticipation builds for the 2nd T20 clash between South Africa (SA) and India (IND) at George's Park, Gqeberha, on December 12. With the first T20I in Durban washed out, Suryakumar Yadav continues to lead India in the absence of Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya. South Africa faces the challenge of missing captain Temba Bavuma, leaving Aiden Markram at the helm.
The Proteas are keen to utilise their home advantage for preparation ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup. However, the loss of Lungi Ngidi due to an ankle injury poses a setback, and his availability for the upcoming Test series remains uncertain. Stay tuned for the latest updates, Dream11 predictions, and lineups for this crucial encounter.
