South Africa secured a thrilling victory over India in the second Twenty20 International, taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
After rain ended the Indian innings with three balls remaining, South Africa was set a target of 152 off 15 overs, which they chased down with seven balls to spare. Led by a hard-hitting 49 off 27 balls by Reeza Hendricks, South Africa won by five wickets using the DLS method. Despite rapid half-centuries by Suryakumar Yadav and Rinku Singh for India, South Africa’s strong performance led them to victory.
The match, which took place at St. George’s Park in Gqeberha, was affected by rain, with the conditions favoring the South African team. The third T20 match is scheduled for December 17 in Johannesburg.
