While they prepare for the second Twenty20 International (T20I) match after the first was postponed due to rain, India and South Africa will carry on with their current T20I series. But when they play on Tuesday, December 12 at St. George’s Park in Gqeberha, they will be hoping for better weather.
It will be intriguing to watch how the match on the southeast coast plays out, given that the first Twenty20 International produced no results. Fans will eagerly await the weather report for the second Twenty20 International; however, it doesn’t appear to be good news for anybody.
On December 12, there is a 60% probability of rain in St George’s Park, according to the Meteorological Department. The temperature may stay around 21 degrees Celsius, although as time goes on, a little improvement in the weather is anticipated.
Report on Pitch:
It is anticipated that St. George’s Park’s surface will help hitters. A huge total on the board is certainly conceivable. But as the game progresses, spinners could receive some assistance, so choosing to bat first after winning the toss could be a smart move.
The Indian squad enters the contest fresh off a five-match Twenty20 International Series victory over Australia, captained by Matthew Wade. However, the Proteas lost every game they played against the Aussies in their most recent Twenty20 International series, which took place in August–September of 2023. Going into their match against India, South Africa will be hoping to reverse that outcome.
Once again under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav, the Men in Blue will be aiming for a clean day free from weather delays and a successful outcome from the match.
