    India Hand A Debut To Anushka, Kranti Included As Unchanged SA Elect To Bowl First

    Asia Cup Rising Stars: India handed a debut to batting all-rounder Anushka Sharma while bringing in Kranti Gaud into the playing eleven as an unchanged South Africa won the toss and elected to bowl first in the second T20I at Kingsmead on Sunday.

    South Africa are leading the five-game series 1-0 after beating India by six wickets in the series opener at the same venue on Friday. “The wicket should be a little slower overall. Nice to know what to chase later on. Still four more games in the series, plenty of chances to do that later on (testing the batters by batting first),” said South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt.

    India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur said Anushka and Kranti come into the playing eleven in place of Renuka Singh Thakur and Kashvee Gautam, who have been rested for Sunday’s clash.
