After the washed-out first clash in Dharamsala, India will take on South Africa in the second T20I at PCA Stadium in Mohali. The match will be played on September 18 and both the teams will look forward to starting the series with a victory. The Virat Kohli-led Indian side is in magnificent form and were invincible in their last tour of West Indies. On the other hand, South Africa have a quite young and inexperienced side led by Quinton de Kock who will aim to make a mark in the series. T20 is the shortest and most dynamic version of the game where the tables can turn in just a few balls. And both teams consist of many players, who can pull off the match single-handedly. India Vs South Africa, Cricket Score 2nd T20I Match.

The last time when these two teams faced off each other was in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. India convincingly won that battle by six wickets and are also the winner of the previous T20I series between these two sides. So, India clearly have the upper hand. However, the Proteas can never be underestimated and will try to put up a good challenge against the Men Blue. As mentioned above, both the teams have many players who can turn the game on its head, which means a few mini clashes might be on the cards. So, as the second T20I between India and South Africa gets lined up, let’s have a look at the few mini-battles, which can increase the thrill of the encounter. Dream11 Prediction for Team India vs South Africa: Tips to Pick Best All-Rounders, Batsmen, Bowlers & Wicket-Keepers for IND vs SA 2nd T20I 2019 Match.

Virat Kohli vs Kagiso Rabada

The clash between these two stalwarts is highly anticipated by many cricket fans around the world. The Indian skipper is enjoying a prolific run in limited-overs cricket as he was the mainstay of India’s success in the West Indies Tour. On the other hand, Rabada is a seasoned bowler and was also the second-highest wicket-taker in IPL 2019. So, it will be interesting to see who will conquer this clash.

Rohit Sharma vs Junior Dala

The last time when these two sides fared in a T20I series, Junior Dala dismissed the Indian vice-captain in all three matches and Rohit Sharma will be wary of the fact. After being the highest run-scorer in the 2019 World Cup, Sharma had a poor T20I and ODI series in West Indies. So, Dala will try to maintain his dominance over the Indian opener by dismissing him in the forthcoming match.

Deepak Chahar vs Quinton de Kock

The newly appointed Proteas captain has a stellar record in the Indian Premier League and will leverage his experience to the fullest in order to defeat the Indian team. However, the Men in Blue will bank on Deepak Chahar to restrict the South African southpaw. The right-arm pacer produced a sensational spell against West Indies in the third T20I and will attempt to replicate a similar performance against the Proteas as well.

India might step as favourites in the upcoming clash but the last time South Africa visited India for a T20I series, the hosts got thrashed 2-0. The first match got washed out due to rain which made the T20 leg a two-match series. So, India will look to continuing their dominion in white-ball cricket while the visitors will give their best in order to cause an upset.
