"We expected it to be hot, but not this hot," Bavuma told a press conference on Wednesday, when the temperature reached 46 degrees Celsius. The heat had already soared past 40 degrees when the South Africans arrived at 9.30am (IST) on Thursday. Compared with Wednesday's wave of warmth, that's 27 degrees of separation. South Africa have won and drawn their two previous bilateral T20I series in India, and would seem to have a good chance of adding to their successes. We're not here thinking everything is going to happen the same way as it did in South Africa.
