In the first match, Dean Elgar was the standout performer for the Proteas as he scored a valiant 185 runs in his farewell Test series. On a difficult batting surface, only KL Rahul and Virat Kohli could put up a show for the visitors. India missed a chance to end their drought of winning a Test series in the rainbow nation. However, they will look to level the series and end the tour on a positive note.

SA vs IND 2nd Test: Pitch Report

The pitch at Newlands is expected to favour the pacers as the surface can generate extra bounce to trouble the batters. However, there is also potential support for spinners in the final stages of the game. Given the bowling-friendly nature of the pitch, the captain who wins the toss might opt for chase.
