As the wait for the toss continues, there is a steady drizzle down in Gqeberha but the forecast is more promising for later on. That said, we might possibly see a delayed toss take place. For now, we can only keep our fingers crossed. Stick around for further updates from the venue. Just a few minutes later we see live pictures from the ground and the good news is that there is no rain at the moment and the players are out in the middle going on with their practice sessions.

India come into this series on the back of a morale-boosting 4-1 series win against Australia back home but neither side was at full strength for that series. With that said, Suryakumar Yadav has led the side well and with the addition of players like Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Mohammed Siraj to the fore will only give him more confidence to do well in this series. The players from both sides have been waiting eagerly to get going but who will come out on top? We shall find out. Toss and team news in a bit.

South Africa are back home after their heartbreaking loss against Australia in the Cricket World Cup semi-final last month but quite a few players of that squad miss out on this T20I series. Aiden Markram will lead the side and will have the likes of Reeza Hendricks, Heinrich Klaasen, and David Miller at his disposal. The spin duo of Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi will also be key but we might see a few of the fringe players like Matthew Breetzke, Ottniel Baartman and Nandre Burger get a game or two.

Hello and welcome to St. George’s Park in Gqeberha for the 2nd T20I between South Africa and India. With the first T20I getting washed out and the threat of rain looming large over this game as well, both sets of players and spectators all across the globe will be hoping that we get a full game in.
