IND vs SA Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match?

The T20I series between India and South Africa started off with the hosts clinching a comprehensive win in the first game, taking a 1-0 lead. After a dominant effort by the bowlers in the first innings, especially Arshdeep Singh and Deepak Chahar, batters KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav led India’s chase in the second innings.

It has become intense for the Proteas as they now need to win both the remaining games in order to clinch the series. On the other hand, India is just one win away from claiming the series. Thus, the Temba Bavuma-led side would look for a win in the do-or-die second T20I, so as to take the series to the decider game.

IND vs SA Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter

Suryakumar Yadav:

The middle-order batter has been in terrific form currently and has taken India to a win in the past couple of games. He notches up the crucial runs under pressure and anchors the innings in the middle, thereby leading his side to a victory. Thus, he’ll be the pick from the batters.

Probable best bowler

Arshdeep Singh:

The young pacer has impressed every time he grabs the ball. Be it the powerplay, or the death overs, Arshdeep Singh has been consistent and gives his best while trying to restrict the opposition batters. He was one of the major reasons behind India’s first win, and the team would expect similar heroics this time around as well.
