India vs South Africa 2nd T20 betting odds, tips and predictions

7pm IST Wednesday, September 18 at PCA Stadium, Mohali

India and South Africa will meet in Mohali for what is now effectively the first of a two-match T20 series, after the opening game in Dharamshala was washed out.

It has been difficult for any nation to defeat India in 2019, regardless of the format, but the South Africans have a strong squad ready for anything.

The bowling brigade for South Africa will be led by Kasigo Rabada, while Anrich Nortje is set for a T20 International debut after taking 19 wickets in 12 domestic innings.

India boasts one of the most powerful batting line-ups in the world, featuring the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan.

Both teams are very capable T20 outfits, but whether South Africa can fire in Mohali is another question, as the squad has never played there in the shortest format.

India vs South Africa top runscorer odds

Rohit Sharma @ +240 with Bovada
Sharma is a known batsman that will not give up an early wicket, he is simply too classy. Sharma has played in over 300 T20 innings with India and has a solid average eclipsing 30 runs per match. With the comfort that India has plenty of capable batsman, Sharma will not start nervous, opening the batting and producing a great innings.

Rassie van der Dussen @ +350 with Bovada
After watching the form of van der Dussen in the 2019 Cricket World Cup and his prior innings, it has become clear that he is an underrated cricketer. His T20I average stands up next to his regular T20 average, proving he is not affected by the big stage. Knowing South Africa is an underdog will help Rassie create runs, as he will be motivated to upset the Indian super team.

India vs South Africa top wicket-taker tips

Deepak Chahar @ +350 with Bovada
Chahar has bowled very well in his last three innings against South Africa, and we believe he will emulate that form in the shorter format. Chahar is not the quickest seamer, but you cannot deny his excellent placement. The bowlers that hit their marks and vary their delivery often dominate the T20 style, as they are the hardest to read.

Anrich Nortje @ +300 with Bovada
Nortje has been very consistent in his last 10 innings, taking a wicket or more in each and leaking a small number of runs. The Indian batsmen are all very confident, almost arrogant, which will cost them their wicket if they do not give Nortje the respect he deserves. If the right-arm quick can find good areas from the off, he will take the most wickets for South Africa.

India to win @ -277.78 with Bovada
It is very difficult to tip against India when it has such a powerful batting line-up. You can count on Kohli to make a large total and lead his teammates to victory in Mohali.
