IND vs SA Dream11 Prediction Today, 2nd Test — Fantasy Cricket Tips, Team, Playing XI, and Pitch Report

Following a humiliating defeat in the opening Test, India will host South Africa in the second match at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. Here is our IND vs SA Dream11 Prediction for this clash. 

India were stunned by the World Test champions at Eden Gardens on a pitch which was a nightmare to bat on. Jasprit Bumrah bagged FIVE for 27 in the first innings as they bowled out South Africa for just 159. In response, they could make only 189, with KL Rahul’s 39 being the top score. 

The Proteas skipper, Temba Bavuma, was the only batter to score a fifty in the entire game. His knock of an unbeaten 55 helped them get 153. Simon Harmer then bagged four for 21 to bowl out the hosts for 93. Harmer was the ‘Player of the Match’ for his eight wickets across two innings.
