After beating South Africa by 8 wickets in the first T20I on Wednesday, Team India will be hoping to clinch the three-match series when they rub shoulders against the Proteas once again in Guwahati. For Temba Bavuma's side, it will be a crucial must-win contest or their impressive record of being undefeated in the subcontinent could take a hit.
The Indian pace attack powered by Arshdeep Singh and Deepak Chahar ran riot against the visitors and they will be hoping for a similar outcome on Sunday. Elsewhere, South Africa will try to put their best foot forward and register a comeback in the series.
While the Men in Blue will be without the services of Jasprit Bumrah who missed the first match as well but could be ruled out for a lengthy spell, Rohit Sharma and Co still have a few questions to answer ahead of their road to Melbourne for the T20 World Cup 2022.
The hosts will be hoping to iron out those minute details in the remaining two T20Is.
