On the opposite finish are South Africa who’ve struggled since that defeat within the World Cup ultimate. Proper after that loss, they went down 3-0 to West Indies in Tarouba whereas their collection towards Eire in Abu Dhabi completed 1-1. A loss in Durban is unlikely to do their confidence any favour.

Now down 1-0 within the four-match collection, South Africa can be determined to get again to successful methods at a venue the place they’ve had success. They’ve registered three out of 4 T20I wins in Gqeberha which incorporates one towards India final yr. Can they do it towards an Indian facet who’re on a golden run in T20Is?
