India vs South Africa 2nd T20 Playing 11: Know here

On a sticky wicket, India has managed to put on a decent total thanks to cameos from various players. And with the ball, they unsettled the South African batting, bundling them out for 74. Hardik Pandya played a blistering cameo at the end with the bat and also played a crucial role with the ball later, helping India defend 176 runs.

Key player to watch out for: The Indian vice-captain, Shubman Gill, since being brought back into the T20I setup, has had a few starts at the top but has not had a score of substance to show for it. The dismissal on Tuesday also questions the approach with which he wants to play in this setup. Regardless, he needs to chip in with a score to give himself the confidence going forward.

South Africa predicted XI: Quinton de Kock(w), Aiden Markram(c), Tristan Stubbs, Dewald Brevis, David Miller, Donovan Ferreira, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Lutho Sipamla, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje

Key player to watch out for: The six-hitting machine in a T20 cricket is a lethal middle-order bat who can turn the game from any situation. The surface at Cuttack might not have suited his batting style as much, but with a true surface in Mullanpur, Brevis, if he gets going South African team will be able to put on more than a competitive total on the board.

South Africa Squad: Quinton de Kock(w), Aiden Markram(c), Tony de Zorzi, Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Corbin Bosch, Keshav Maharaj, Anrich Nortje, Lungi Ngidi, Reeza Hendricks, Ottneil Baartman, Donovan Ferreira, Kwena Maphaka, George Linde

India Squad: Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Jitesh Sharma(w), Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Washington Sundar, Sanju Samson, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana
