On the other hand, South Africa, led by Temba Bavuma, would also like to counterattack. He will be hoping to get the target by winning the toss and inviting India to bat first. Despite the cheap dismissals of Rohit and Kohli in the first match in the presence of bowlers like Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje, the South African bowling showed a lack of confidence. Not only this, in Guwahati also the Indian team would like to win the T20 match for the first time. In the two matches played before this, India had to face defeat in one against Australia and the other against Sri Lanka was canceled without a toss.
Talking about the pitch, the wicket is good and it looks brown. That is, if there is less grass on the pitch, then it can be helpful for the batsmen. In such a situation, if the match can be played on the ground, then there will be a lot of rain of runs and the fans will be entertained fiercely during the festival season. However, the T20 match played between India and Australia here before this was low scoring and Team India was piled up after scoring 118 runs and the Kangaroos won that match with 27 balls to spare.
