Team India have set their sights on taking a 2-0 unassailable lead in the ongoing four-match series as they gear up to take on South Africa in the second T20I at St. George's Park on Sunday, November 10. The Men in Blue are going to play only their second T20I game at the venue.
Their first fixture at St. George's Park in Gqeberha came on December 12 last year and had to suffer a five-wicket loss at the hands of South Africa. Though the visitors do not have pleasant memories of playing at the venue, their blazing form can very well help them secure a 2-0 lead.
India are unlikely to make any changes after their commanding victory at Kingsmead in Durban. All eyes will be on Abhishek Sharma as he hasn't scored a fifty since his century against Zimbabwe in July.
