Before the third T20 in Vishakapatnam, Rishabh Pant-led Team India will look to bounce back from the first T20I loss and level the series when they face the Temba Bavuma-led Proteas at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack on Sunday (June 12).
South Africa ended India’s unbeaten run by completing the sixth highest successful run chase in T20Is – 212 with 7 wickets in hand thanks to unbeaten fifties from David Miller and Rassie van der Dussen.
India and South Africa have so far met in 16 T20 matches with the Men in Blue enjoying a 9-7 lead in the head-to-head battle in the shortest format against the Proteas. However, South Africa have won 3 of the last 5 meetings with India, including the victory on Thursday (June 9).
India have won 1 match at home, while they have won 5 in South Africa and 3 in neutral venues. South Africa have won 2 at home, 4 away and 1 in neutral venue.
Now, the two sides will face each other for the first time at the Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy Cricket Stadium, but India are no strangers to the venue, having played different opponents earlier. The stadium is set to host the first ever T20I since February 2019.
While the venue has hosted only 2 T20Is, Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy Cricket Stadium has also hosted 13 IPL matches as the venue served as home to the Hyderabad teams in the cash rich league. The last IPL match held at the venue was also in 2019.
