The second and final Test of the ongoing series between India and South Africa is scheduled for Saturday (November 22). The match will be played at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.
After suffering a shock loss in the first Test at the Eden Gardens, India will be desperate to win the second Test to avoid a series loss. The hosts will have to make do without captain Shubman Gill. With Gill sidelined, Rishabh Pant gets another chance to showcase his captaincy.
South Africa defeated India by 30 runs in a low-scoring first Test to take an unassailable lead of 1–0. Set a target of 123 runs, India came up with a disastrous batting display and were all bowled out for just 93 runs. Neither team managed to reach the 200-run mark in the first Test and both will look to do well with the bat in the upcoming match.
As India and South Africa gear up for the crucial Test, here is the full match preview.
