Dream 11 Fantasy Cricket tips for India vs South Africa, 2nd T20 International (2nd Oct)

The 2nd  T20 match of the 3 match Mastercard T20 Trophy between India and South Africa will be played at the Barsapara cricket Stadium in Guwahati Assam. The match will start at 7:00 PM IST.

In the 1st T20 played in Kerala, India won the toss and chose to field. The Indian bowlers decimated the South African top order, reducing the team to just 9 runs for five  wickets in 3.2 overs. They left no chance for South Africa to come back into the match and finally bid them goodbye with just 106 runs in 20 overs for the loss of 8 wickets.

When India came out to bat the team did not have  a good start as they lost Rohit Sharma of the very first ball that he faced. After that Kohli came out to bat and was out  in the 2ndover  of the innings for just 3 runs. KL Rahul and Suryakumar  Yadav had a good partnership together and finished the game in 16. 4 overs.

The Kerala wicket was not a normal T20 wicket as the ball was swinging prodigiously and it became difficult for the batsmen to stick around on this type of a wicket. The field felt like a test wicket then a T20. I observed  the wicket at Kerala was giving undue advantage to the fast bowlers as the ball was doing way more than it should be doing in a T20 match. Normally, there should be swing for 3 to 4 overs then there should be true bounce so that the ball comes onto the bat well for the batsman to play shots.
