Tristan Stubbs paved the way for South Africa to overcome spinner Varun Chakravarthy’s maiden fifer and eke out a three-wicket win over India in a low-scoring second T20I in Gqeberha on Sunday (November 10, 2024). Chasing a modest 125-run target, the Proteas were reduced to 86 for 7 at one stage. But Stubbs' unbroken 42-run stand with Gerald Coetzee took the hosts to victory. The four-match series is now level at 1-1. South Africa's triumph also halted India’s 11-match winning streak.
