It was the second match of India vs South Africa of T20I series in South Africa
The PROTEAS took THE ADVANTAGE 🇿🇦
As India's openers fell for ducks but captain Suryakumar Yadav's half-century led the way as the visitors gained a foothold on the game. He first put up a 49-run stand for the third wicket with Tilak Varma off 24 balls. SKY then put up 70 for the fourth with Rinku Singh off just 48 balls before falling for 56 off 36. Rinku eventually crossed his first T20I half-century but India's finish was dented somewhat by Gerald Coetzee taking two back to back wickets in the last over. Rain made an appearance with three balls left in that over and the players rushed back into the dressing room with India's score reading 180/7 in 19.3 overs
Due to rain the innings didn't continue and South Africa were given a target of 152 to chase in 15 overs.
A rampant start to the chase from Reeza Hendricks(49) & Matthew Breetzke(16) steered the Proteas to victory 🔥🏏
The top order ended up unleashing carnage and captain Aiden Markram smashing the Indian bowlers to all parts of St George's Park.
India made a comeback by dismissing Hendricks, Markram and Heinrich Klaasen in quick succession but the visitors still had an uphill struggle for themselves. South Africa held it together and ended up winning with five wickets and nearly two overs to spare.
A solid fight from Team India but it was South Africa who won the 2nd INDvsSA T20I (via DLS Method).
A blockbuster match as SA go 1-0 up in the series 🍿
