IND vs SA 2nd T20I Dream11 prediction: Best fantasy picks for South Africa vs India match in Gqeberha

India will take on South Africa in the second T20I of the four-match series with an aim to take an unassailable lead in Gqeberha on Sunday, November 10. Sanju Samson led India to magnificent win in the opener with a scintillating ton but the Proteas will be keen to stay alive in the series.

Team India despite the collapse managed to eke out a win in the series opener against South Africa and as it turned out, rather comfortably in the end by a margin of 61 runs. Sanju Samson's second consecutive T20I century headlined the first T20I in Durban, however, the all-round bowling effort with the likes of Varun Chakravarthy, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh and Ravi Bishnoi chipping in. South Africa will rue their lacklustre effort with the bat as despite a ton from Samson, they were able to restrict India to 202/8.

Now, India are in with a chance to take a 2-0 unassailable lead, since it's a four-match series. The middle-order collapse will be a slight cause for concern but the Men in Blue will be keen to replicated their Durban efforts to end South Africa's hopes of winning the series. India went in with three spinners on a fast bouncy Durban pitch despite the overcast conditions and it paid off nicely. Expect them to stay with the same side.

South Africa, on the other hand, might want to bring an extra batter into the line-up, to shore up the middle and the lower order with overdependence on Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller. Their bowling was good at the death, however, with the pressure put on early by Samson and Co, a good start to both batting and bowling innings will be the main objective for the Proteas for them to stay alive in the series.
