India and South Africa are gearing up for the second T20I of the five-match series, and the buzz is already electric. After that wild opener in Cuttack—where India absolutely steamrolled South Africa by 101 runs—the action now shifts to Mullanpur, Chandigarh. The Proteas were bundled out for just 74, their lowest-ever T20I total, and they’ll be desperate to bounce back. India, meanwhile, will walk out with confidence and a chance to go 2–0 up.
When and Where Is the 2nd T20I?
The second match will be played at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh.
- Date: 11 dec 2025
- Time: 7:00 PM IST
- Venue: Mullanpur, Chandigarh
Aiden Markram’s side will be itching to respond after the collapse in Cuttack, while India will look to build on a near-perfect performance led by bowlers who didn’t give an inch.
India’s Focus for the 2nd T20I
India’s squad is looking solid and settled. The spinners—Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel—were the real game-changers in the previous match, squeezing South Africa in the middle overs.
There will also be attention on the form of Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill, who headline a batting unit that wants more consistency at the top.
