#SAvIND-2ndT20I : All- Round South Africa Come Out With Clinical Show To Beat India By Five Wickets

South Africa defeated India by five wickets in the second T20 International. The first T20I between the two sides was washed out due to rain.

Sent into bat, India posted 180 for 7 before the hosts were set a revised target of 152 in in 15 overs following a spell of rain. India lost Yashasvi Jaiswal (0) and Shubman Gill (0) for six runs before Surya led from the front and forged fine partnerships with Tilak Varma (29 off 20) and then Rinku.

India were going all guns blazing before rain stopped play with three balls left in the innings. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav (56 off 36) and Rinku Singh (68 batting off 39) made fifties.

Chasing the revised target, South Africa reached home in 13.5 overs, scoring 154 for 5.

In reply, South Africa shred a pedestrian looking Indian bowing attack to pieces to script a five-wicket win in the second T20 of the three-match series in Gqeberha . Reeza Hendricks (49) and skipper Aiden Markram (30) made substantial contributions for South Africa.

Set a revised a target of 152 in 15 overs due to rain, South Africa rocketed to 67 for one in five overs. They eventually cantered to win in 13.5 overs.

Both Mohammad Siraj and Arshdeep Singh were taken to the cleaners . The left-arm pacer conceded as many as 24 runs in his opening over in which Reeza Hendricks (49 off 27) smashed him out of the ground with a massive strike over mid-wicket.
