The three-match series is now locked at 1-1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen brought up his maiden T20I half-century, producing an awe inspiring show of power hitting to plunder 69 runs off just 30 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Duminy remained unbeaten on 64 runs off 40 balls with four boundaries and three sixes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;At the toss, we spoke about this being a semi-final and taking the series to Newlands. We kept our composure with the bat after taking early wickets,&quot; Duminy was quoted as saying by the International Cricket Council (ICC) website.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I just thought the way Klaasen came and played with freedom, we kept up with the rate. It was raining pretty similarly in our innings as well but I was comfortable when we were ahead of the rate,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Duminy also said the key point of the match was when they took the top three wickets early.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;They (India) came at us but the key for us was taking the wickets and we got three up front. To chase down 189 is a pretty good effort. It&#39;ll be nice to play in front of my home crowd (in the next match) and hopefully, we put up a spectacle there,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n",
