Hosts South Africa will take on England in the 2nd T20I match of the three matches T20I series. Two teams with some big hitters of the game are up against each other in the shortest format of the game.
South Africa lost the first game of the series and, a defeat here will be curtains for them. The batting of the side performed really well with the likes of Faf du Plessis and Quinton de Kock. However, the bowling needs to step up in this game against the strong batting line-up of England. This game is going to be a Do or Die game for the side.
England were brilliant in the last game and, a win here will seal the series for them. Sam Curran was in fine form with the ball whereas, Bairstow was brilliant with the bat. The full English side is filled with match-winners, and this should be an easy game for them again. However, the form of Jason Roy is a concern for the side.
