Having hosted international cricket across the three formats once each in 2019, Visakhapatnam is all set to host another international match in the form of an India vs South Africa T20I tonight.
Fourth T20I to be played at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in the last decade, India would be keen to register their second victory here on Tuesday for another loss would power South Africa to an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series.
Yet to beat South Africa despite playing seven matches across all formats this year, the home team would be looking for a collective improved performance in order to not let this five-match series convert into a dead-rubber after this match.
Vizag – we are here! 👍 👍
See you in the Stadium tomorrow. 👏 👏#TeamIndia | #INDvSA | @Paytm pic.twitter.com/fQlamvOyHn
