South Africa‘s star opener Hashim Amla on Friday said that he is ready to face the challenge as South Africa take on India in the second of the four-match Test series at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday. Neither India nor South Africa are likely to make major changes, apart from the forced ones. Vernon Philander’s series was over when he got injured during a football match in one of the training sessions, and there is not much clarity over the availability of the other pacers Morne Morkel and Dale Steyn. In place of Philander, South Africa have summoned Kyle Abbott. Steyn did not bowl in the second innings of the first Test, and there is no update yet on his availability.

Earlier, Amla said there were more dismissals in the match due to lack of spin than excess of it and his batsmen could have applied themselves better. South Africa managed 184 and 109 in the first and second innings respectively in the 108-run loss and Amla admitted that lack of application led to the batting failure. “The chat that we had in our meetings was that the ball wasn’t turning that much, actually. And I think a lot of dismissals actually in both teams, there were quite a few dismissals due to lack of turn more than due to excess of turn,” Amla told reporters after conceding a 0-1 lead in the four match series, reports PTI.
