SA vs IND Dream11 Prediction for India tour of South Africa 2023-24 2nd T20I, Playing XI, and Captain and Vice-Captain Picks

With the first T20I of the three-match T20I series getting washed away, all eyes turn to Gqeberha's St. George's Park for the highly anticipated second match between India (IND) and South Africa (SA) on December 12th. Fans eagerly waiting after the disappointing weather conditions are bracing for an epic clash between two cricketing giants.

Suryakumar Yadav, riding the wave of his impressive leadership in the absence of Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya, will once again captain the Indian side. Meanwhile, South Africa will see Aiden Markram taking charge in Temba Bavuma's absence as they aim to leverage their home advantage in preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

The Proteas will be looking to overcome the setback of Lungi Ngidi's ankle injury sustained during the white-ball series against India. With his participation in the Test series still uncertain, the team will need to adjust their strategies accordingly. As the anticipation builds for the second T20 encounter, one can only expect a fierce and exciting contest between two world-class teams.

Pitch and Playing Conditions

Not many international matches have been played on this ground but we can expect a slow track. Since the matches are being played on South Africa tracks we can expect some tennis ball bounce and the new ball to swing considerably during the initial overs, making it a prime time for pacers to strike and claim crucial wickets. 

Throughout the game, the quick bowlers will hold the advantage, dictating the tempo and posing a constant threat to the batsmen while the spinners can also play an important role. Just like the first T20, rain threat is there in the 2nd T20I too
