Bumrah's injury has added to the confusion over team combination as hosts gear up for 2nd T2OI vs SAGUWAHATI: With the match scheduled in the middle of Durga Puja, the traffic in the city here, and around Barsapara Cricket Stadium in particular, on the eve of the second T20 International match between India and South Africa, was clogged. The situation quite resembled the state of India's team combination right now. With the upcoming T20 World Cup barely two weeks away, the ongoing series against visiting South Africa is a preparation for the big-ticket event, irrespective of the outcome of the bilateral series. However, as India were hoping to get the team combination right ahead of the ICC meet, Jasprit Bumrah's injury added to growing uncertainties.

India vs South Africa, India Predicted XI: Will Rohit Sharma's Team Continue With Both Rishabh Pant And Dinesh Karthik In Playing XI?

India and South Africa will be squaring off in the second T20I of the three-match series at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati on Sunday.

Hence, the second T20I is a must-win game for the Proteas if they have to stay alive in the series.

He along with fellow opener Alex Hales added 55 runs in only 3.4 overs before the latter fell on his individual score of 27 off 12 balls.
