New Delhi: As the T20 series hangs in balance, India and South Africa are scheduled to play the third game of the T20I series which can turn out to be the series decider for the 4-match series. One of the main reasons for India’s loss in the second match against South Africa has been the batting failure in Port Elizabeth. Naturally, for Suryakumar and his boys improving batting performances will be an important concern.
Despite the win South African batters have struggled against Varun Chakrvarthy’s willy spin. As per India apart from Sanju Samson who scored a blistering ton in the first game other batters have been a hit and miss. Though there have been a few cameos the lack of innings of substance at Gqeberha has cost the side from getting to a par score.
What is the head-to-head record of India and South Africa?
India and South Africa have faced each other in 29 matches in T20. Out of these 29 games, India has won 16 whereas South Africa has come out victorious on 12 occasions. Furthermore, 1 match ended without a result.
