India A and South Africa A will take the field at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Alur today for the second unofficial four-day Test, with the hosts leading the series 1-0 after a thrilling three-wicket win in the opener. South Africa A skipper Marques Ackerman won the toss and invited India A to bat first, hoping to exploit the early morning movement on a lively surface. For Rishabh Pant’s side, this match offers another opportunity to build on the positives from the first game, where the wicketkeeper-batter impressed with a fluent 90.
The focus will also be on Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, and Prasidh Krishna, who are using this fixture to fine-tune their red-ball rhythm ahead of the senior team’s South Africa Tests. Meanwhile, South Africa’s regular skipper Temba Bavuma, returning from a calf injury, will look to spend time in the middle and lead his side’s bid to level the series.
