2nd T20I: Baartman Picks 4-24 As South Africa Level Series With 51-run Win Over India
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Riding on Quinton de Kock’s blazing 90 and Ottniel Baartman’s figures of 4-24, South Africa levelled the five-game series with a resounding 51‑run win over India in the second T20I at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh on Thursday.
De Kock set the tone for South Africa, posting 213 with clean hitting at the top, as his 46-ball 90 was laced with five fours and seven sixes. In reply, India’s chase faltered early and never recovered from the blows of losing Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, and skipper Suryakumar Yadav.
With Axar Patel’s puzzling promotion to No.3 failing to pay off, Tilak Varma was the only Indian batter to find rhythm and show some enterprise by scoring 62 off 34 balls. But he lacked support from the other end as wickets tumbled around him, and Varma was the last man to fall as India were bowled out for 162 in 19.1 overs.
