What is the pitch report for SA vs IND, 2nd T20I?

T20I returns to St George’s Park after a gap of more than 3 years and it previously hosted 3 T20Is with host South Africa winning 2 of them. The overcast conditions will be seen throughout the game which in turn assists the quick bowlers, the batters have to face the chin music upfront and later can shift gears after settling.

What are the Top Picks, players for Dream11, My11circle and MPL for SA vs IND, 2nd T20I?

Top Pick – Batter

Ruturaj Gaikwad is good at anchoring the innings and doesn’t go out of shape at any point in time which is his main strength. He registered his maiden T20I century in the recent bilateral series against Australia.

Top Pick – All-Rounder

Ravindra Jadeja who rested for the T20I series against Australia is back in the side as vice-captain. He comes in as a whole package be it with the bat, ball, and on the field.

Top Pick – Bowler

Arshdeep Singh is the best bowler for India in the shortest format this year with 25 scalps in 19 matches.

Top Pick – Wicketkeeper

Heinrich Klaasen is the best in the business when it comes to tackling spin and effortlessly clears the fence. He is likely to take up the finisher role for South Africa in this series.

Pre-Match Analysis:

With limited T20Is left ahead of the marquee T20 competition in West Indies and the USA both South Africa and India will look to make use of the couple of T20Is left in the series after 1st T20I was washed due to rain. Marco Jansen and Gerald Coetzee will leave the South African T20 squad after the 2nd T20I to start preparing for the longest format. The Proteas are keen to provide the opportunity for newly recruited pacers Nandre Burger and Ottniel Baartman. Matthew Breetzke with only one T20I experience will pair up with Reeza Hendricks to open the innings. Massive responsibilities are on Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, and David Miller in the batting department.

India will be playing their first T20I at St George’s Park and will look to fix their combination with plenty of resources in their think tank. Deepak Chahar who is likely a starter for the series hasn’t joined the squad yet due to a medical emergency of a close family member and he is doubtful for the remainder of the tour. Stand-in skipper Suryakumar Yadav and Coach Rahul Dravid have to make tough decisions while selecting the playing eleven with huge competition for every single spot. They won the T20I series 2-1 when they toured South Africa in 2017/18.
