SA vs IND Dream11 Prediction: The second Test match between South Africa and India is scheduled to begin from 3 January, 2022 (Monday) at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. Team India took a 1-0 lead in the three-match Test series after a brilliant performance in the opening match. India achieved history as the visitors registered a comprehensive 113-run victory in the first Test match against South Africa at the SuperSport Park in Centurion. On the other hand, hosts South Africa will be desperately hoping to come up with an improved performance both in the batting as well as bowling departments. The Virat Kohli-led Indian team will be aiming to make history by winning their first-ever Test series in South Africa by winning the second Test match.
Fixture Name: 2nd Test, South Africa vs India
Competition: South Africa vs India Test
Date: 3 January
Time: 1:30 PM IST
Ground: Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg
Watch South Africa vs India Live on Star Sports Network and HotStar app.
The pitch at the Wanderers Stadium will once again work in favour of the pace bowlers while keeping in mind the history of the venue. Rain is likely to play spoilsport on all of the five days of the second Test match and the overcast conditions will make things difficult for the batters of both the teams. However, the good quality of bounce will favour both the batters and bowlers to some extent. Thus, picking more of fast bowlers and batters will be a good decision.

KL Rahul Stats in Test
Indian opener KL Rahul has been in a sensational form off late in the longest format of the game. KL Rahul contributed with a match-defining innings of 123 runs that included a total of 16 fours and 1 six in the first Test match victory for India and was also named the Player of the Match.
Jasprit Bumrah Stats in Test
For India, speedster Jasprit Bumrah has been a key wicket-taker in the longest format of the game in the recent times as he did in the opening Test match against South Africa. Bumrah took as many as 5 wickets in the first Test match and most importantly, delivered remarkably well in the pressure situations.
South Africa will want to make a strong winning comeback to keep the three-match Test series alive and the likes of Dean Elgar, Aiden Markram, Temba Bavuma and Rassie van der Dussen will be expected to take the responsibility with the bat. The trio of Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen and Lungi Ngidi will be their important wicket-taking bowlers. On the other hand, India will once again bank upon the likes of KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Ajinkya Rahane and Virat Kohli to perform well in the batting department. The likes of Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Shardul Thakur and Mohammed Siraj will be their crucial clogs with the ball. Toss will play an important role as rain could play a spoilsport in this match. According to the SA vs IND today match prediction & South Africa vs India cricket betting tips, South Africa are the favourites to win this match.
