IND vs SA Fantasy Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – 2nd T20, South Africa tour of India, 2025

Match Preview

India’s dominance in the T20 format continues as they defeated South Africa in a comprehensive manner on Tuesday. Since this is the last major tournament before the upcoming World Cup, the team will be eager to test its bench strength and try out some new combinations in the upcoming games. However, the primary goal will be to secure the series.

South Africa has plenty of problems that they need to work on. Despite having a talented bunch of players, they have failed to get the desired results. The Proteas need some of their seniors, including Quinton de Kock and Aiden Markram, to step up and play a bigger role in this match.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The pitch is likely to be balanced and tends to play in the same manner throughout the match. While the ground hasn’t hosted any T20I to date, the IPL records are 6-5 in favour of teams batting first. The seamers have usually enjoyed more success here compared to the slower bowlers, as the pitch is likely to have some grass and the dew tends to hold the surface together.

The weather will remain cold with temperatures under 15 degrees.
