New Delhi: After a dominant 101-run win in the first T20I in Cuttack, India will take on South Africa in the second match of the series at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh.
The hosts will look to extend their lead in the series to 2-0, while Aiden Markram-led South Africa will aim to make a strong comeback and level the series.
