2nd T20I: Hardik Makes 39 Not Out As SA’s Disciplined Bowling Performance Restricts India To 124/6
Hardik Pandya: Hardik Pandya top-scored with 39, despite being majorly off the groove, as South Africa’s disciplined bowling performance helped them restrict India to 124/6 in the second T20I at the St George’s Park on Sunday.
On a firm pitch, the seam bowlers early help and capitalised on it to get early wickets by resorting more to bowling good and short lengths. The lack of batting depth meant India could never put South Africa under pressure. Backed by some scintillating fielding, the Proteas bowled exceptionally well to keep the visitors’ quiet. Barring skipper Aiden Markram, all bowlers got into the wickets’ column.
Pushed into batting first, India didn’t have a flying start as Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma fell in the first two overs. Samson, who scored consecutive tons, missed an inswing delivery from Marco Jansen and saw the top of leg-stump being rattled.
