IND vs SA: The second Twenty20 International between Team India and South Africa will be played at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Team India arrived in Guwahati on Thursday, September 29. (October 2).
They arrived at their hotel with their South African counterparts, and both groups were made to feel welcome. The Bihu dance, an Assamese traditional dance, was performed for the players as they were welcomed with shawls.
After the game, Deepak Chahar and Arshdeep Singh, the masterminds behind India’s opening triumph in Thiruvananthapuram, cut a cake to commemorate the event. The hotel staff then gave the Indian team a heartfelt send-off as they made their way to the airport.
Before boarding their trip, players from both teams could be seen chatting with one another in the airport’s waiting area. Check it out in this video that the BCCI posted:

India leads the series 1-0 going into the T20I in Guwahati
In the first of three T20 International matches against South Africa at the Greenfield International Stadium, the Rohit Sharma-led Indian team got off to an outstanding start. The hosts decided to bowl first, and courtesy of Chahar and Arshdeep’s spectacular swing and seam movement, the Proteas were reduced to 9/5.
In the second over of the innings, the latter took three wickets, thus ending South Africa’s aspirations. Keshav Maharaj’s 41-point performance spared them some embarrassment, as the visitors could only muster 106/8.
In response, the Men in Blue scored just 17/1 after six overs, their lowest powerplay total in T20Is. Prior to Suryakumar Yadav’s counterattack, KL Rahul originally bided his time. The two batsmen each produced a different half-century, complementing one another to help the hosts win by eight wickets.
