The South African men are ahead 1 – 0 in the five match T20I series. Despite a score of 211 made by the Indian batting line up, the Temba Bavuma side scripted history by chasing down their highest ever T20I run chase, India lost to South Africa by seven wickets.
India have set a target of 149 for the visitors and a win is must for the Indian side to boost them in the series and also be prepared for the T20Is against Ireland later this month.
The swing king, Bhuvneshwar Kumar did his job by dismissing Reeza Hendricks in the first over, continuous wickets in regular intervals will be essential for the hosts and the South African batting line up has to be on the other side of the game, unlike the previous game.
Dwaine Pretorius and Temba Bavuma are on strike and 3 overs have been done by the Indians.
The match is being played at Barabati Stadium, Cuttack and the match is in the presence of Orissa CM Naveen Patnaik and BCCI President Sourav Ganguly.
