SA vs IND Weather Forecast: 2nd T20I, Gqeberha, India's tour of South Africa 2023

First match of SA vs IND 3-match T20I series was washed out in Durban.

The first T20I game between India and South Africa was washed out due to heavy rain in Durban. Fans were disappointed to witness intense rain rather than intense cricketing action on the field at Kingsmead Stadium in Durban. After the first T20I washout in Durban, team India are left with only 5 T20I games before the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup in 2024 in West Indies and USA. The mega T20 event is scheduled to be played in June next year. 

Both camps moved to Port Elizabeth on Monday for the second T20I game in Gqeberha on Tuesday. Former Indian opener Sunil Gavaskar slammed Cricket South Africa for not providing adequate resources to resume the game in the first T20I game. Suryakumar Yadav-led side will be hoping the rain will stay away from the second T20I game and they begin their South Africa tour on Tuesday. The second T20I is scheduled to begin around 4:30 PM local time.
