IND vs SA Head-to-Head Records- Key Statistics
India and South Africa have played 45 Test matches against each other, with South Africa having the lead over South Africa.
The Proteas have won 19 matches while India have come out on the right side of the result on 16 occasions, with the remaining 10 games yielding no result.
This will be the first instance when India and South Africa will go head-to-head in a Test match at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, as the venue will host its first-ever match in this format.
Both teams would look to win the match, but the win will have different meanings for India and South Africa.
A win for India would help the home side draw level, having lost the first match in Kolkata by 30 runs on the third day of the game.
South Africa, on the other hand, would eye a historic win against India in India, which isn't an easy thing to do.
India, out of the two teams, would be more desperate to win the match as it will ensure that they don't lose the series, having already lost a series on home soil a year ago against New Zealand that too courtesy of a clean sweep.
For that to happen, India will have to bat well against the South African spinners, something which they failed to do in the first match.
If India is able to win the match, it will also help them earn crucial World Test Championship points, as the team would certainly know how important these points could turn out to be at the end of the cycle in 2027.
