South Africa Batted Beautifully In The First Five-six Overs, Says Suryakumar Yadav
South Africa: After suffering a five-wicket defeat to South Africa in the second T20I, India skipper Suryakumar Yadav admitted that the Proteas’ batting unit beautifully batted in the first five-six overs of the rain-hit chase, which eventually proved to be match-winning in their favour.
Rain interrupted India’s innings at 180/7 in 19.3 overs, with Suryakumar making a 36-ball 56 and Rinku Singh smashing a career-best 68 not out off 39 balls. After an hour’s rain break, South Africa’s revised target became a stiff 152 in 15 overs at St George’s Park Stadium.
Led by Reeza Hendricks’ 49, South Africa added 54 runs in first five overs and despite India making strikes, it wasn’t enough for the visitors’ to avoid a defeat. India will now aim to equalise with South Africa in the third T20I at Johannesburg on Thursday.
