Summary of this article
South Africa women defeated India women by eight wickets
SA-W lead the five-match series 2-0
IND-W had lost the first game to SA-W by six-wickets
India women's poor show with the bat continued as they suffered their second successive loss to hosts South Africa, going down meekly by eight wickets in the second women's T20I to trail 0-2 in the five-match series on Sunday.
Put into bat first, Shafali Verma started with a bang, as she smashed seven fours and two sixes to register 57 off 38 balls but the visitors failed to stitch together meaningful partnerships and could only post a modest 147.
Smriti Mandhana (12) and Harmanpreet Kaur (12) failed to live up to the expectations as IND-W's poor batting display came to the fore with none of the lower-order firing in the dying overs of the game.
For the hosts, Chloe Tryon (3/22) was the most successful bowler for the hosts. Tumi Sekhukhune also continued her fine run with the ball, taking three wickets.
In reply, the opening duo of Laura Wolvaardt (54) and Sune Luus (57) slammed fifties for SA-W. Shreyanka Patil did grab both the openers but it was too little too late as Tazmin Brits (20 not out) and Annerie Dercksen (12 not out) completed the formalities to take their side to victory.
