Cuttack (Odisha) [India], June 12 (ANI): South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma won the toss and opted to field against India in the second T20I of the five-match series, here at the Barabati Stadium on Sunday.
Speaking at the toss, Bavuma said, "We will have a bowl first. We don't know how the wicket will play. It was easier to bat second in the last game. You can chase anything with smaller boundaries. You need to stay in the fight as batters. We have two forced changes; QDK has a hand injury and Stubbs misses out, Klaasen and Hendricks come in."
Meanwhile, India skipper Rishabh Pant said, "We would have bowled first as well. The track is really nice. We would want to have a big score on this. There weren't many things we did wrong in the last game, just a bit of execution was off and we will do better today. We are playing the same team."
