There is no good news from Gqeberha before the second T20I match between India and South Africa.
New Delhi: India vs South Africa second T20 match (IND vs SA 2nd T20) will be played at St. George Stadium in Gqeberha. If we talk about the pitch of this ground, it is favourable for both batsmen and bowlers. However, in the beginning, it is quite easy for the batsmen to score runs. But as the game progresses, it turns in favour of fast bowlers.
Fast bowlers get speed and good bounce on the pitch. In such a situation, winning the toss and choosing to bat first can prove to be right for the captain. So far nine T20 matches have been played at St. George’s Stadium, out of which the team batting first won four. While defending, the team was able to win only five matches.
