batters to be a bit cautious at the start.
With their impressive show in the series opener, India have presented themselves with a chance to win a T20I series against South Africa for the first time when playing at home. While the focus would have and should have been on India’s performance in the lead up to the world cup which is now just a couple of weeks away, it’s anything but. Why? Two words – Jasprit Bumrah. Yup, the Indian cricket has been consumed by the thoughts of the pacer’s apparent injury which if serious would mean an end to his participation at the T20 World Cup in Australia. And that’s what must be concerning everyone – right from the Indian team management to their devoted fans.
The bosses are keeping their hopes alive – Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly both have maintained a positive outlook hoping against hope that Bumrah might get ready just in time. Fingers crossed.
Switching the focus back to the match tonight. India have a 1-0 lead. A win will put the series in their pocket. A defeat would mean the third T20I becomes the decider. But there’s a third option – a potential washout. Why? The forecast is of thunderstorm during the game. So if not a washout, there’s a chance of the game being halted due to rain.
