IND v SA highlights today – Second twenty/20 from SuperSport Park, Centurion (South Africa) Wednesday 21st February 2018. In the first t20 match India batted first and scored 203 runs with five wickets down, in reply South Africa scored 175 runs with 9 wickets down in 20 Overs. S Dhawan scored 72 runs off 39 balls and RR Hendricks scored 70 runs off 50 balls. B Kumar took five wickets in that match in 4 overs with 24 runs.
With India looking to close out the series after a strong performance in the opener, they are unlikely to make any changes. The only changes South Africa could make to the batting line-up is the inclusion of uncapped batsman Christiaan Jonker, but it will have to be at the expense of one of their experienced players, so they might save him for Cape Town. Aaron Phangiso could get a look-in instead of Tabraiz Shamsi.
South Africa have won the toss and will bowl first.
JP Duminy: Reasons are different, some rain around, it’s the best way forward. Same team. From a basic point of view, bat, bowl, field, we need to do that better.
Virat Kohli: The toss is not in your hands, we would have liked to bowl first too with weather around. We need to bat well. Jasprit has got some abdomen stiffness, good he explained to us what he was feeling. Shardul Thakur comes in.”
