India have won the first T20I against South Africa by a handsome margin of 101 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. Notably, Mullanpur in New Chandigarh will be hosting its first-ever men's internationak match.
After a dominating show in the first match in Cutack, the Indian team would like to make it two wins in as many matches as they take on South Africa in the second T20I at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur on December 11 (Thursday).
On a tough batting track in Cuttack, where most of the batters struggled, India rode on a fifty from Hardik Pandya to go past 170-run mark while batting first. In reply, the Proteas literally crumbled in front of the Indian bowling attack to be all out for just 74 in 12.3 overs.
Although India take the field in Mullanpur with confidence, but the likes of Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav will have to pull up their socks to get into rhythm ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup next year at home. India have nine more games left before the mega event.
On the other hand, South Africa need to introspect what went wrong in Cuttack. The batting style of South Africa didn't suit them in Cuttack but with a true surface expected to be on offer in Mullanpur, the Proteas can be dangerous with the likes of Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs and David Miller in a famed middle order.
