India’s record winning streak come to an end as South Africa recorded a massive chase. India’s batting order collectively performed as they posted a massive 211 but the bowling failed. Especially, Rishabh Pant’s captaincy came under the radar as he has only given 2 overs to the IPL purple cap holder Chahal.
Now, it is time for the second 2 T20I in Cuttack. As per the team news, India might field an unchanged XI despite the loss. Either Arshdeep or Umran Malik will have to wait for some time.
South Africa on the other side too might field the same XI that was fielded in the first T20. Aiden Markram will miss the first three games at least. They might also think to replace Lungi Ngidi with Keshav Maharaj.
India: 1 Ishan Kishan, 2 Ruturaj Gaikwad, 3 Shreyas Iyer, 4 Rishabh Pant (capt & wk), 5 Hardik Pandya, 6 Dinesh Karthik, 7 Axar Patel, 8 Harshal Patel, 9 Avesh Khan, 10 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 11 Yuzvendra Chahal
South Africa: 1 Quinton de Kock (wk), 2 Temba Bavuma, 3 Rassie van der Dussen, 4 David Miller, 5 Tristan Stubbs, 6 Dwaine Pretorius, 7 Wayne Parnell, 8 Kagiso Rabada, 9 Lungi Ngidi/Keshav Maharaj, 10 Anrich Nortje, 11 Tabraiz Shamsi.
