The second match of the India Tour of South Africa 2023 will see India (IND) squaring off against South Africa (SA) at St George's Park in Port Elizabeth on Tuesday, December 12.
Ahead of this exciting match, here's all you need to know about the IND vs SA Dream11 Prediction, today's playing 11s, fantasy cricket tips, best player picks and the pitch report.
The last match between two teams was abandoned due to rain but fans can finally expect a match this time since there is no chance of precipitation in Port Elizabeth. Though there will be a lot of wind blowing, so the pacers might find it easy in initial powerplay overs.
India had a great home series against Australia and would love to continue their domination here. South Africa, on the other hand, is a beast when it comes to their home and will definitely challenge the in-form Indian squad. Predicting the winner in such matches is very difficult, so one should make a balanced team.
