Your daily dose of cricket!
Both teams would like to open their account at this particular ground with a win, which will help them accomplish different goals.
A win for India would ensure that the Shubman Gill-led side is able to level the series and avoid another series loss at home in the oldest format of the game, which will be India’s second loss in the last three Test series.
It won’t be easy for India to face the Proteas challenge in Guwahati due to multiple reasons, one of them being the uncertainty over the availability of regular captain Shubman Gill.
The Indian Test captain had to retire after playing just three balls in the first innings of the first Test as he felt some discomfort in his neck after hitting a boundary courtesy of a sweep shot and was rushed to the hospital.
Although Gill might travel with the team to Guwahati for the second Test but his participation remains doubtful.
The second reason why India will have its task cut out is due to the fact that this particular stadium is going to host its first Test, and there is no historical data to depend on with respect to the nature of the pitch.
If we go by the record that the ground possesses in white ball cricket, the second Test of the two-match series is expected to be a high-scoring one.
However, a lot will depend on how the pitch behaves. If it turns out to be a spin-friendly track, then a score of 230-240 might be enough for the team batting first to challenge the opposition.
If the curator dishes out a sporting wicket which provides equal assistance to both bowlers and batters, then the game should go till the better part of day four, which wasn’t the case during the opening IND vs SA game in Kolkata.
Conclusion
India would want to level the series when they step on the field to take on South Africa in the second Test at a new Test venue in the form of Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.
As far as South Africa is concerned, the Temba Bavuma-led side would aim to register a rare series win against India in India in this format of the game.
