Just like the first fixture, the match is scheduled to start at 7:00 PM Indian Standard Time (IST), with the coin toss very likely to be held at around 6:30 PM IST.

India vs South Africa 2nd T20I: Venue & Pitch Report
The IND vs SA 2nd T20I will be played at the New PCA Stadium in Chandigarh, also known as the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh PCA Stadium.
The pitch here generally tends to be batting-friendly and provides a bit of assistance to fast bowlers as well.
This T20 clash will be India’s very first match at this venue, but it has been used as the home stadium of the Punjab Kings (PBKS) during the last two IPL seasons, so the Indian think-tank may have some idea of what to expect.
Interestingly, Marco Jansen of South Africa, who has been a threat on this tour, both with the bat and ball, is also familiar with the venue, having represented PBKS.
