India and South Africa lock horns in the second of the four-match T20I series. The visitors emerged trumps in a one-sided encounter in Durban on Friday. The caravan moves to Port Elizabeth, as South Africa aim to level the series in a must-win game.
India sealed the deal in Durban to win the game by 61 runs. Posting 202/8 after being put into bat, Sanju Samson starred for the visitors, scoring 107 off just 50 balls. Gerald Coetzee was the pick of the Protean bowlers, with a 3-fer to his name.
In response, the hosts tripped on every bump of the road in a one-sided run-chase. The Indian spin-twins, Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi spun a web of wickets, bagging three each. South Africa were bundled for 141, with no batter crossing the 25-run mark. Heinrich Klaasen was the highest scorer for the hosts, scoring a 22-ball 25.
As India aim to go two-up in the series, here is the head-to-head record, expected line-ups, match prediction, and latest betting odds for the 2nd T20I between South Africa and India in Gqeberha.

What are the predictions for the India vs South Africa 2nd T20I?
India would be flying high after the recent win in Durban. The visitors showed plenty of quality in all aspects of the game. Suryakumar Yadav & Co. would aim to go 2-0 up to eliminate the chance of conceding the four-match series.
A stark difference in quality was visible in Durban. The hosts would have to up their game massively if they were to beat India in the 2nd T20I. Moreover, the 61-run loss could have dampened the spirits of the Proteans, who also lost the T20I World Cup 2024 final to the same opposition. We expect India to continue the winning momentum in Gqeberha.
What are the latest betting odds for the South Africa vs India 2nd T20I?
According to betting odds on Dafabet, the visitors, India are slight favourites to win the 2nd T20I against South Africa.
