With two losses in two matches, India will be desperate to keep their chances alive in the series when they face South Africa at the Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Tuesday (June 14). On the other hand, South Africa will try to capture the series with a third win. India miss the experience of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah, who were rested for the series. KL Rahul’s last-minute exit due to a back injury has also made the road for the Men in Blue tough.
