Mohali, Sep 19: South Africa skipper Quinton de Kock heaped praise on his youngsters and backed them to do well in the third match as they lost to India by seven wickets in the secon T20 international here on Wednesday.

Asked to bat first, South Africa rode new captain de Kock's 52 and Temba Bavuma's 49 to post a modest 149/5 in 20 overs. In reply, India skipper Virat Kohli slammed 72 not out to take the hosts home with ease. South Africa played three debutants in Anrich Nortje and Bjorn Fortuin besides Bavuma as they looked to rebuild a team which suffered a disastrous World Cup where they crashed out in the league stage.
