Guwahati, India - Day 2 of the second Test between India and South Africa sees India in a determined position, aiming to dismiss South Africa for under 300 runs. The first day's play at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati was cut short due to poor light, leaving South Africa at 247/6.
South Africa won the toss and elected to bat. Despite a slow-scoring day, they managed two partnerships exceeding 80 runs. However, India fought back in the final session, claiming four wickets to balance the scales. Key wickets included those of Temba Bavuma and Tristan Stubbs shortly after lunch, providing an opening for the Indian bowlers.
India's задача now is to capitalize on the momentum gained at the end of Day 1. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, who took the new ball late on the first day, will be crucial in the early morning session. India will be targeting the wickets of Muthusamy, who is batting on 25, and Verreynne, who is unbeaten on 1.
South Africa, on the other hand, will be looking to push their score past 300, utilizing their batting lineup that extends to the No. 11 position.
The second day promises to be a crucial one, with India aiming to wrap up the South African innings quickly and gain a significant advantage.
