South Africa will lock horns with England in the second of the three-match T20I series on Sunday, November 29. The contest will take place at the Bola𝐆nd Park and is scheduled to begin at 2:30 PM (12:30 PM GMT/ 06:00 PM IST).
England came up trumps during a close encounter in the first T20I with Jonny Bairstow starring in a middle-order role alongside Ben Stokes. Despite the trio of Jason Roy, Jos Buttler and Dawid Malan failing at the top of the order, the tourists’ superior depth in batting shined against the hosts South Africa, who dominated for most parts of the game.
