IND vs SA 2nd T20I: Weather forecast - Will rain disrupt the match?

New Delhi: The upcoming India vs South Africa second T20 match (IND vs SA 2nd T20) is scheduled to take place at the St. George Stadium in Gqeberha. The pitch at this ground is known to provide a balanced contest between batsmen and bowlers. Initially, it offers good conditions for the batsmen to score runs easily. However, as the match progresses, the pitch tends to favor the fast bowlers, making it challenging for the batsmen to score freely.

Fast bowlers get speed and good bounce on the pitch. In such a situation, winning the toss and choosing to bat first can prove to be right for the captain. So far nine T20 matches have been played at St. George’s Stadium, out of which the team batting first won four. While defending, the team was able to win only five matches.
