A tough challenge for the men in blue

A few months ago, South Africa troubled India by winning the first two games of the T20I series. However, India won the next two and managed to level the series before the decider ended in No Result. We can expect a similar performance by Temba Bavuma‘s men against India in the upcoming encounters.

South Africa has a balanced squad that will be hard to defeat on its day. The batting includes the likes of David Miller, Quinton de Kock, Rilee Rossouw, all of whom are in good form. Players such as Tristan Stubbs have been at their best in recent games. When it comes to the bowling department, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, and Tabraiz Shamsi will form a potent attack. Overall, the team is shaping up well and India will have to be at their best if they want to win this series, as well.
