Preview
After the first T20I of the three-match series was washed out, South Africa will take on India in the second fixture at the St George’s Park in Gqeberha. While the hosts Proteas are yet to play an international match for the better part of last month, the Men in Blue have been on a winning momentum in the shortest format of the game in the last couple of weeks. But still, South Africa will have the upper hand over India in the second T20I of the series because they are going to play against them in their home conditions.

Team Report
Deepak Chahar hasn't joined the Indian squad in South Africa after his father was hospitalised due to a medical emergency back home and remains doubtful for the T20I-leg of the tour.
Analysis
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, which already boasts the likes of the captain Aiden Markram and Keshav Maharaj, the couple of star performers in the shortest format of the game.
On the other side, the Indian cricket team arrived on the South African shores following a comprehensive 4-1 win in the T20I series against Australia at home earlier this month. The Indian team management has picked a few more players who took part in the ODI World Cup 2023 final last month to strengthen the T20I squad, which includes names like Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, and Kuldeep Yadav.
