Well then, that is it from this immersive second T20I where South Africa beat India in a low-scoring thriller. Two played and two more to go. Now, with the series deadlocked at 1-1, the action shifts to the iconic SuperSport Park of Centurion. The third T20I will be played on Wednesday, November 13 and the first ball will be bowled at 3 pm GMT. Till then, cheers and take care!
The captain of South Africa, Aiden Markram says that the bowlers bowled really well and executed the plans nicely. Mentions that their plan was to break the chase at the halfway mark but it did not come off for them. Further says that when it does not come off, they need to take it on the chin but it is important that they stick to their brand of cricket. Shares that younger guys in the side inspire the older guys. Feels that they need to take one game at a time.
The skipper of India, Suryakumar Yadav says that you always have to back whatever the total you have on the board. Says that in a T20I game, you never want to put 120s or 130s on the board and then go onto the ground defending that. But also says that he feels proud of the way they fought with the ball. Appreciates Varun Chakaravarthy and tells that someone getting a 5-fer while defending 124 is just incredible. Also mentions that Varun has been waiting for this for a long time and has worked really hard on his bowling skills. Concludes by saying that two games to go with a lot of entertainment left and that going to Centurion with 1-1 is going to be a lot of fun.
Tristan Stubbs is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his match-winning knock. He says that the run rate never got away and he always had the belief that they could do it. Shares that even if the situation was 30 runs in 3 overs, he felt that it was gettable. Shares that Gerald Coetzee also had the belief and he took the pressure off him. Mentions that they were always a couple of hits away from bringing the situation back to run-a-ball. Adds that he tried to control his breathing to ease the nerves. States that it is his mother's birthday so there were 20-30 people who came to watch him play. Ends by saying that this is his favourite place to play cricket
... THE PRESENTATION CEREMONY ...
Earlier in the game, South Africa's pacers came out swinging and looked threatening. Jansen and Coetzee struck like lightning, removing India's openers in back-to-back first two overs. SKY's early exit only deepened India's wounds in a brutal Powerplay. While the seamers dominated, Proteas' spinners turned the screws, choking any chance of partnerships. Axar and Tilak managed to scratch past 20, while the rest of India's lineup crumbled under relentless pressure. Add in South Africa's electric fielding along with the dot balls, and it was a perfect storm of dominance. Hardik Pandya though took the matters in his hands and contributed 39 but took 45 balls. South Africa closed up well and conceded just 9 off the last two overs and cherry on the top, bowled 62 dot balls.
However, in these tight, low-scoring battles, the game can pivot on the smallest of margins - a crucial partnership, a couple of big overs, or even a gutsy solo stand. It was Tristan Stubbs who emerged as South Africa's saviour, standing firm and attempting to navigate his team through troubled waters. He also got an able support from Coetzee who struck a couple of lusty boundaries in the backend. The two added 42 valuable runs off just 20 deliveries and bailed South Africa out of huge trouble. With the spin making the batters dance to its tune, India could have utilized more of Axar Patel who bowled only a solitary over in which he gave away 2 runs. Also, South Africa played less number of dot balls as compared to their opponents - 51 vs 62 to be exact.
The tricky pitch, offering unpredictable bounce, kept batters guessing and scoring in check. The game-changing moment arrived through Varun Chakaravarthy's masterclass - his lethal spell ripping through South Africa's middle order. His five-wicket haul proved decisive, swinging the momentum firmly in India's favor as the Proteas struggled to counter his wrong'uns. As a result, South Africa were reduced from a comfortable 64/3 to a dangerous 86/7.
India began their defence almost mirroring their opponents and kept things on a leash. Arshdeep and Avesh maintained tight lines and lengths to keep the batters quiet for the most part. Despite getting hit for a few boundaries, Arshdeep struck gold in the Powerplay, and Varun Chakravarthy made an instant impact, sending a struggling Markram back to the pavilion. Both teams faced early jitters as the Powerplay ended in a deadlock - South Africa at 34/2 slightly edging India's 34/3 at the same stage.
A proper Sunday blockbuster entertainer here at St George's Park, Gqeberha! It was a low-scoring game but had both sides bite the skin of their lips at times. The momentum constantly tilted back and forth but it were the hosts who eventually had the last laugh. India might feel they made the Proteas to huff and puff to chase the paltry total. But it was the batting masterclass from Tristan Stubbs and Gerald Coetzee towards the backend that saw the hosts cross the line.

Strategic Break! Varun Chakaravarthy bowling masterclass has put India right back in the contest now.

India will look forward to getting rid of him as soon as possible to put a step ahead in the contest. Gerald Coetzee is in at number 9 and the two would now aim to bat through to the end and sail their team home.

It was a bit too full for the big heave across the line but Andile still goes for it. Gets down on a knee and swings but gets beaten on the inside edge as the ball spins in and clips the leg stump. Simelane goes for 7 (10). South Africa are now 86/7, needing 39 runs in 26 balls.

Varun Chakaravarthy changes the angle of attack for the left-hander and bowls from around the stumps. Drifts it into the stumps and lands it fuller in length, just around off, David Miller does not pick up the googly and plays inside the line of the ball. It grips, turns and beats the outside edge before crashing into the off stump. David Miller stands there in disbelief. Varun Chakaravarthy registers his maiden T20I 5-fer and he has turned the game on its head now.

A conventional leg-break from Varun this time around, flat and full around off. Heinrich Klaasen gets his front foot out of the way to create room for himself. He fails to get his bat underneath the ball and goes through the shot. Lofts it aerially but it goes off the toe-end of the willow. It travels only as far as the long off fielder where Rinku Singh takes a safe catch, running to his left.

Varun Chakaravarthy To Marco Jansen OUT!
OUT! OUTFOXED! Varun Chakaravarthy is on a roll here! He gets his third wicket and the Proteas batters have no answers to his googlies at the moment! Varun Chakaravarthy floats it up and dishes out a deceptive googly. It drifts into the batter and pitches on a fuller length. Draws Jansen on the front foot. He looks to heave it across the line but does not read the wrong'un off the deck and the ball sneaks through the gap between the bat and the pad before clattering into the stumps.

Axar Patel To Marco Jansen
Darts it in first up, full and on off, Jansen presses forward and knocks it back to Axar.
Strategic Break! Indian bowlers have worked hard to prevent boundaries from flowing freely. However, in such low-score chases, one good over or two can shift the momentum back toward the opposition. South Africa have lost 3 wickets but they have still got Miller and Klaasen waiting in the sheds. They need 70 off 66 balls now and won't be taking too many risks at this stage of the game. Meanwhile, Varun Chakaravarthy has done the most damage to the opposition and the others will need to step up as well. India need wickets, in clusters, and that too, as quickly as possible. Also, a change in bowling as Axar Patel has been introduced into the attack for the first time. He replaces Varun Chakaravarthy.

Varun Chakaravarthy To Marco Jansen
Has Jansen been strangled down the leg side here? A confident appeal from Samson, SKY and the bowler but the umpire signals wide. Suryakumar Yadav takes the review with a couple of seconds left on the timer. This drifts down leg, on a nagging length, Marco Jansen tries to tickle it fine but misses. A good take by Samson moving to his left. The UltraEdge confirms that there is no bat involved but it shows that the ball brushed the thigh of Jansen. The on-field decision of NOT OUT will stand but the decision of wide is reversed. India lose their review though.
Surprising move! Marco Jansen is in at number 5, ahead of Miller and Klaasen.

Varun Chakaravarthy To Reeza Hendricks OUT!
OUT! CASTLED! Wickets off successive overs for Varun Chakaravarthy! After being hit for a boundary on the previous ball, Varun pulls the length back and dishes out the googly, flatter and shorter, on middle and leg, Reeza Hendricks stays on the back foot and tries to keep it out with a straight bat. Does not pick the googly from the hand or off the deck. The ball lands and spins back in to cut him in half as it goes past the inside edge and hits the leg stump. South Africa lose their third wicket. Hendricks goes for 24 (21).

Varun Chakaravarthy To Aiden Markram OUT!
OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Aiden Markram looked unsettled since that blow to the helmet and he departs now. Instant impact for Varun Chakaravarthy. Slips in the googly and it is slower through the air, on the fuller side, on off,  Aiden Markram is tempted by the flight as he clears his front leg to go across the line. The ball turns in enough to go under the bat and crashes into the off stump. South Africa are now 33/2, needing 92 runs from 88 balls.

Hardik Pandya To Aiden Markram
Fractionally fuller, bouncing off the deck, Aiden Markram looks to drive it through covers, gets beaten on the outside edge as the ball leaves the batter off the pitch.
Oh, dear! Aiden Markram has copped a nasty blow on the helmet. Seems a bit shaken by the slow and a concussion test will follow now. The Proteas skipper is not having the best of times today. First, he took a blow on the little finger of his right hand while going for a catch and now, a blow to his helmet. The check is complete and Markram is ready to resume.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Arshdeep Singh draws the first blood for India and he continues to strike inside the Powerplays with the new ball in hand.
