2nd T20I (N), Cuttack, June 12, 2022, South Africa v India 7:00 PM IST

Match thread.

Mods sticky this please.

 

 

Team news

 

 

We may have to wait a little longer to see Umran Malik or Arshdeep Singh with India likely to go in with an unchanged XI.

 

 

India: (possible) 1 Ishan Kishan, 2 Ruturaj Gaikwad, 3 Shreyas Iyer, 4 Rishabh Pant (capt & wk), 5 Hardik Pandya, 6 Dinesh Karthik, 7 Axar Patel, 8 Harshal Patel, 9 Avesh Khan, 10 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 11 Yuzvendra Chahal
 

 

Aiden Markram, who missed the first match after testing positive for Covid-19, has remained in Delhi and will need quarantine for seven days from June 8, which rules him out of at least the first three games. That didn't affect South Africa too much and after their success in the first match, they may not want to tinker with their combination. If conditions favour seamers, they may consider benching Keshav Maharaj for one of Lungi Ngidi or Marco Jansen.

 

 

South Africa: (possible) 1 Quinton de Kock (wk), 2 Temba Bavuma, 3 Rassie van der Dussen, 4 David Miller, 5 Tristan Stubbs, 6 Dwaine Pretorius, 7 Wayne Parnell, 8 Kagiso Rabada, 9 Lungi Ngidi/Keshav Maharaj, 10 Anrich Nortje, 11 Tabraiz Shamsi

SA opt to chase again . India needs a good score once again .

[coffee_rules]

Slowing down in the middle by Iyer and Pant caused the loss, will not blame bowling as it was patta pitch and small stadium

[rageaddict]

Indian team unchanged.

[Singh bling]

Umran and Arshdeep as spectator

Quote

India are unchanged. "We didn't do anything wrong in the last match," Pant says. "We just need to improve the execution."

Wow, audacity!!

[Vickydev]

Hardik needs to bat at 3. He is better than both Shreyas and Pant at this moment and can dictate the pace of our innings. Stop with the talk of finisher

[Gollum]

Trundlers ko aur maaro, bahut maaro. Go RSA, F U Dravid

Or at least at 4, he was a bit bogged down even in the 17th over, he needs some time to tee off 

[coffee_rules]

Why was Prasidh dropped? He should be in all three formats.

[Jay]

Hahahahahahahahahahhaha 

Trundler again rofl. Take the middle finger up your butt Rahul and get lost please. Take kohli tards with you too. Thanks. Bhai.

[vivek04]

Another trundlers galore. Hoping that SA butchers this bowling mercilessly 

[putrevus]

Dravid is worst thing which has happened to Indian cricket. This moron is pushing Indian bowling attack back to 80s and 90s. 

[The Realist]

Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan

 

Pitiful. Embarrassing. Sad

[speedheat]

 

Twat dravid loves his trundlers lol.

 

[coffee_rules]

Who are phaaast bowlers we are clamoring for here? Umran, Tyagi, Prasidh, Mavi ?

Dravid is a relic from another era.

 

Utterly clueless and out of his depth in today's T20 driven world.

[Vickydev]

Naveen Patnaik would rather be on bed lol

Yeah he is being limited by batting so low down

Dhoni process > Dravid process
