India captain Suryakumar Yadav has won the toss and elected to bowl first against South Africa in the second T20I.
Toss Decision – Captain’s Comments & Reasoning
“We will bowl first because of the dew, so bowling would be a better option. This has been a wonderful ground. The first men’s international game is happening. We are excited. Important for the boys to understand the responsibility. We bowled well in the last game. Hardik provides amazing balance to the side. We are going with the same team,” Suryakumar Yadav said.
South Africa skipper Aiden Markram would have bowled first as well.
“We would have bowled first as well. The wicket looks good. We will have to put runs on the board and then apply pressure. We have the opportunity to make things right today. I am not too sure about the good total,” Aiden Markram said.
