IND vs SA Match Prediction: The Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati stands on the verge of history as it will host its maiden Test match when India and South Africa lock horns on Saturday.
That it could also become the venue of South Africa’s only second Test series victory in India, and first since 2000, is what India would want to avoid.
India cannot win this two-Test series now that they succumbed to a 30-run defeat in Kolkata. But Gautam Gambhir can save some face if the hosts manage to draw it with a resounding win in Guwahati. But India will have to deal with the huge, almost-certain absence of Shubman Gill from the Guwahati Test.

India vs South Africa 2nd Test match team news: Will Shubman Gill play in 2nd Test?
Shubman Gill will most likely miss the 2nd Test against South Africa, though he travelled with the team to Guwahati. Gill was hospitalized in Kolkata after suffering neck spasms in the first Test. Vice-captain Rishabh Pant will lead the side in Gill’s likely absence.
Nitish Kumar Reddy has been added to the squad after being released from the first Test to play domestic cricket. The options to replace Gill in the lineup are B Sai Sudharsan, Devdutt Padikkal, and Nitish Reddy.
Meanwhile, South Africa have added Lungi Ngidi to their squad, which suggests that Kagiso Rabada is doubtful for the second Test; Rabada missed the first Test owing to a rib injury. If Rabada misses out again, the Proteas probably will retain their XI from Kolkata unless the surface calls for an extra spinner.

India vs South Africa pitch report of the 2nd Test at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati:
The IND vs SA 2nd Test will be the first-ever Test match at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. So it’s difficult to predict the surface that will be on offer.
An estimation can be made that it will be a traditional subcontinent pitch that is good for batting in the first two innings of the match before breaking down and offering plenty of assistance to spinners. Given India’s batting capitulations in Kolkata, the hosts wouldn’t want to deal with another highly spin-friendly and inconsistent pitch.
