India vs South Africa, 2nd T20I Predicted Playing XI: India likely to retain same team from opening match defeat

India vs South Africa, 2nd T20I Predicted Playing XIs: Since India were outplayed in a high-scoring game, all eyes will be on the bowlers and how Rishabh Pant rotates them.

India will be up against South Africa in the second T20I of the ongoing five-match series at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack on Sunday (June 12).

South Africa took an early 1-0 lead after their highest run chase in the format. Rassie van der Dussen and David Miller stunned India, who posted their highest total (211/4) in Delhi.

India's defeat made Rishabh Pant only the second Indian after Virat Kohli to lose on his T20I captaincy debut.

As India were outplayed in a high-scoring game, all eyes will be on the bowlers and how Pant rotates them. For Temba Bavuma's side, the expectations would be high as South Africa would want to carry their momentum in the second game.

There is a possibility that Lungi Ngidi might come in for Keshav Maharaj as the latter conceded 43 runs in the first game.

The pitch at the venue has traditionally been on the slower side, so spinners will be in focus to play a crucial role.
