New Chandigarh, Dec. 11 -- Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and opted to bowl first against South Africa in the second T20I of the five-match series at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur on Thursday.

India is 1-0 up in the series after a 101-run win over Proteas in the first match. South Africa will be aiming to bounce back with a strong showing.

During the toss, Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav said, "We will bowl first. There is a bit of dew, so bowling first is a good option. This is a wonderful ground. First men's game here, so excited for it. It is really important for the boys to understand the responsibility. 175 on that wicket was over par. It was a lovely effort from our bowlers....
