Currently, Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav are punishing the proteas after losing two quick wickets. Four overs were completed and India managed to score 40 runs.
Earlier, South African captain Aiden Markram won the toss and elected to field first against India in the second T20I of the three-match series at St George’s Park in Gqeberha on Tuesday.
The opening match of the series was abandoned due to rain at Kingsmead in Durban on Sunday. The sold-out crowd had to walk back to their homes because the rain gods would not allow the coin to be tossed.
Indian batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad was unavailable for selection for the 2nd T20I due to illness.
During the toss, Markram said every match is important to fine-tune preparations for the 2024 T20 World Cup.
“We’re going bowling first, we’ve been under the covers most of the day, so I guess it’s moving around a bit. Every match will be important for us to refine things before the 2024 T20 World Cup, hopefully we can start well today. From my point of view, it’s about understanding whether someone needs rest. No debuts today,” he said.
Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav said they were happy to bat first.
“I’m very happy to be here and happy to know there is cricket nearby. We didn’t know what to do, but now we’re very happy to be the first. It’s an opportunity for everyone who plays this game. The World Cup is still five to six months away. Just enjoy, that is the message to the team.”
