South Africa's Batters Restore some Pride in 51-Run Win Against India in 2nd T20
Quinton de Kock’s 46-ball 90 helped South Africa score 213/4 and win by 51 runs, with India conceding 22 extras and collapsing in the chase, series now tied.
- On Thursday, Quinton de Kock scored a 46-ball 90 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium as South Africa posted 213/4 and beat India by 51 runs in the second T20I.
- De Kock set the tone early while India bowlers conceded 22 extras, including 16 wides and an over with seven wides, undermining their chase.
- He stitched a 38-run stand with Reeza Hendricks and an 83-run partnership with Aiden Markram, South Africa captain, becoming joint-highest with five 50+ scores versus India before a run-out by Jitesh Sharma, India wicketkeeper.
- India were bowled out for 162 in 19.1 overs with only Tilak Varma’s 62 off 34 offering resistance, while Ottniel Baartman took a career-best 4/24 as the India batting line-up faltered.
- With the series finely poised, India face scrutiny as Gautam Gambhir, India head coach, lost his cool over Arshdeep Singh's seven wides; the think-tank will have a lot to ponder as the tour moves to Dharamshala ahead of the 2026 T20 World Cup.
