India vs South Africa T20I Head to Head Stats
The Suryakumar Yadav-led India faced a batting collapse in the second T20I against South Africa. With only three batters scoring in double-digits, the visiting unit could have posted only 124 runs in 20 overs. The pitch at Gqeberha assisted the slow bowlers and the situation remained the same in the second innings. Coming to chase, the Proteas lost seven wickets. They, however, ended up winning the game by six wickets to level the four-match series.
Tristan Stubbs wrapped up as the top scorer for South Africa. The middle-order batter contributed 47 runs off 41 balls when his team was reeling at 66/6. Stubbs was supported by Gerald Coetzee, who played an unbeaten knock of 19 runs, hitting two boundaries and one six.
India will be desperate to turn the tables in the upcoming third T20I. The highly anticipated fixture will take place at the SuperSport Park Cricket Stadium in Centurion on November 13. The Indian bowling department deserves praise for their efforts in the previous game. Varun Chakravarthy stole the show by registering a five-wicket haul. Among others, Ravi Bishnoi and Arshdeep Singh picked one scalp each.
