2nd T20I: Stubbs Guides SA To Three-wicket Win As Chakaravarthy's Five-fer Goes In Vain
Tristan Stubbs: Tristan Stubbs overshadowed Varun Chakaravarthy’s sensational five-fer through a gutsy knock of an unbeaten 47 and guided South Africa to a three-wicket win over India in the second T20I at St George’s Park on Sunday.
After India were kept to 124/6, Chakaravarthy got the visitors’ ahead by picking 5-17, his career-best figures in T20Is. But Stubbs timed his acceleration to perfection and hit seven boundaries in his vital knock to give South Africa a thrilling win with an over to spare, as the hosts’ have now squared the four-match series 1-1.
It also helped Stubbs that he found an able partner in Gerard Coetzee (19 not out off nine balls) to stitch a stand of 42 runs for the eighth wicket. What also helped South Africa was the Indian pacers not being up to the mark, especially in the last three overs and captain Suryakumar Yadav giving Axar Patel just one over with the ball.
