India vs South Africa Live Cricket Score: So, finally, it’s time again for the second test between India and South Africa. In the last match, India put in a poor performance and failed to chase a target of just 124 runs, allowing Temba Bavuma’s team to claim victory with ease. However, India are expected to look much stronger this time, and we might even see some changes in their lineup. Let’s check the IND vs SA 2nd test live score.
The first Test match was played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, where Shubman Gill was leading the team. However, due to injury, he will not be available for the second match. In his place, Rishabh Pant will be seen captaining the side. This year will also be the very first time Guwahati hosts a Test match, bringing a fresh challenge for the players and plenty of excitement for the fans.

Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati Pitch Report
The Barsapara pitch is usually well-balanced. First some overs: we can see excellent bounce, which can help the quick bowlers. A small layer of grass on the surface lets the ball wander about on Days 1 and 2.
The surface starts to slow down on Day 3, which gives spinners a chance to turn and grip. Overall, the pitch is quite satisfactory for batters. The bounce stays the same, so you can play with it all day long.
