As India go into the 2nd T20I of the 3-match series against Proteas with a 1-0 lead, the in-form men in blue eye their first double series win on the South African soil. The 2nd T20I is set to take place today at the SuperSport Park, Centurion, where India are yet to play a T20 match. Here are the ground statistics.
One of the newer stadiums in South Africa, Centurion has hosted only 6 T20Is in total, since the first match played here in March 2009 to the most recent one in January 2017. Of the 6, the home side won three of the matches, losing the other three. South Africa won their last match here beating Sri Lanka by 19 runs.
5 of the 6 matches played at the SuperSport Park, Centurion were won by the teams that batted first. While 170 is the average first innings score, the highest total scored by a side is 241/6 by South Africa against England, which the home team went on to win. South Africa's Loots Bosman has the highest T20I score at Centurion, 94 off 45 balls.
Pakistan's Umar Gul holds the record for best bowling figures at SuperSport Park having taken 5 wickets in 2.2 overs with an economy of 2.57, in March 2013.
Virat Kohli, already the third highest T20I run scorer, is short of 18 runs to hit the 2000-run milestone. He currently has 1,982 T20I runs from 56 matches. Kohli also has a chance to score more than 1,000 runs on a single tour, a feat yet to be achieved by an Indian. For this, he needs to score 130 runs in remaining two T20Is.
