Sat Nov 09 16:12:47 UTC 2024: ## India Eye Commanding Lead in South Africa T20 Series with Samson’s Form

**Gqeberha, South Africa:** India is aiming to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the four-match T20 series against South Africa in the second match at St. George’s Park on Sunday, November 10th. The focus will be on the Indian top order, who faltered in the first T20I, and the continued form of Sanju Samson, who blasted a breathtaking century.

While Samson’s heroics in the first T20I propelled India to a competitive total, the top order failed to capitalize on a good start, ultimately restricting India to 202/8. The team management will be looking to rectify this in the upcoming match, with skipper Suryakumar Yadav, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, and Hardik Pandya needing to contribute significantly.

The toss for the second T20I is scheduled for 7 PM IST, with the match commencing at 7.30 PM IST. Fans can catch the live action on Sports 18 HD/SD and via live streaming on the Jio Cinema app and website.

**Teams:**

* **South Africa:** Aiden Markram (c), Ottneil Baartman, Gerald Coetzee, Donovan Ferreira, Reeza Hendricks, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen, Patrick Kruger, Keshav Maharaj, David Miller, Mihlali Mpongwana, Nqaba Peter, Ryan Rickelton, Andile Simelane, Lutho Sipamla (3rd and 4th T20Is), Tristan Stubbs.
