South Africa is leading the series by 1-0, but India has a good records in Guwahati, so they are expected to defeat South Africa and draw the series by 1-1.

India and South Africa will be playing the second and last test match of this series at Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati, and the match will be played between November 22-26, 2025. The Indian team has been struggling in test cricket, whereas, on the other hand, South Africa has played exceptional cricket in the past few years.

Shubman Gill is ruled out of the Guwahati test; therefore, Rishabh Pant will be leading the Indian team, and Sai Sudharsan is expected to replace him in the Playing XI. However, the chances are high that Indian will win this test match as they have good records in Guwahati, but the current form is quite concerning.

Currently, South Africa is leading the series by 1-0, and they will be looking to win the Guwahati test and end the series by 2-0. Temba Bavuma led the South African team from the front in the first test at Eden Gardens. But, they might get good competition in Guwahati as the conditions will be quite new to them.
