South Africa are all set to take on India in second Twenty20 (T20) of three-match series today (Monday).
Cuttack’s Barabati Stadium will host the big game as host are trailing the series 1-0 against Protese.
India suffered a morale-crushing, seven-wicket defeat in the opening match of the tour in Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh, when the Proteas capitalised on poor performance by the Indian bowlers to overhaul the challenging 200-run target.
The conditions are expected to be more suitable for the hosts here and the wicket is expected to be a slow turner with low bounce.
With heavy rains lashing the region over the last few days, there would be concern over the ground conditions ahead of the match. More rains have been predicted over the next 48 hours.
The visitors will be eager to seal the series. But the conditions at the Barabati Stadium will be different from the ones they are used to back home in South Africa.
