The first match of the four-match T20 series between India and South Africa is played on November 8 at the Kingsmead Stadium in Durban. India won the match by 61 runs and took a 1-0 lead in the series. Now, the second game of the series will be played on November 9 at St George’s Park in Gakbala. Team India will be looking to win this match and take a 2-0 lead in the series, while hosts Africa will be looking to level the series. In this case, the stadium in Gakbalha can play a very important role.
Gakbala has played four T20 matches so far.
If the second match of the T20 series will be played at St. George’s Park in Gokbaha, South Africa, then only 4 T20 international matches have been played here so far, the first of which was between South Africa and West Indies. In 2007, the match happened in the middle and West Indies won the match by 5 wickets. In the four matches that Gakbalha has played so far, the team batting first has won twice, while the team chasing the target has won the match both times. India have played only one match on this pitch so far, during their Africa tour last year, where they had to face a 5-wicket defeat under the Duckworth-Lewis rule. If we talk about the pitch here, it will have good bounce for the fast bowlers and hence it will not be an easy task for the batsmen to score runs against the new ball. However, after spending some time on the field, he can pick up the pace on his runs. The spinners can also get some help from the pitch as the match progresses.
This is where the Indian team lost last time.
India have played only one T20 match so far at the Gkebarha Stadium, in which, batting first, they lost 7 wickets and scored 180 runs in 19.3 overs. In this match, Indian team captain Suryakumar Yadav also scored an outstanding score of 56 runs. In addition, Linku Singh also scored an unbeaten score of 68 runs. However, the match was cut short due to rain and Duckworth Lewis set a target of 152 runs as per regulations, which they achieved in 13.5 overs at the loss of 5 wickets.
