Who Won Yesterday's IND Vs RSA Match? South Africa and India clashed at St George's Park, Gqeberha in the second T20I
The hosts won the toss and sent Suryakumar Yadav's men into bat as the latter could conjure up a meagre total of 124/6 thanks to a decent bowling display from the home team.
In the run-chase, the hosts were reeling at 66/6 with leggie Varun Chakravarthy taking 5/17. However, it was down to Tristan Stubbs (47 not out) and Gerald Coetzee (19 not out) to bail their side out of trouble and steer to an eight-wicket win on Sunday.
"In a T20, someone getting a five-for while defending 125 is incredible. Varun has been waiting for this for a long time, working hard on his bowling, and everyone enjoyed it," Suryakumar said during the post-match presentation.
"You always have to back whatever total you get. Of course, in a T20 game you don't wanna get 120, but proud of the way we bowled," Suryakumar said.
"Two games to go, lot of entertainment left. 1-1 going into Jo'burg gonna be a lot of fun."
Brief Scores:
India: 124 for 6 in 20 overs (Hardik Pandya 39, Axar 27; Gerald Coetzee 1/25)
