That's a wrap for our coverage of the India vs South Africa, 2nd T20I. A comprehensive win for the Proteas in Mullanpur. Quinton de Kock the star of the show, but Donovan Ferreira, David Miller, Marco Jansen and Ottneil Baartman also played their part. The series has been sprung wide open now.

Thank you for joining us. Do stay tuned to NDTV Sports for all the live and latest sports updates. Goodnight!

A top performance from South Africa, and the five-match series has been levelled at 1-1. This is India's second-heaviest T20I defeat in terms of runs. Question marks on India's batting will continue into the third T20I in Dharamshala.

VICTORY for South Africa! A top-notch performance from the Proteas. They have bounced back from the loss in the first T20I by dominating the second T20I today in Mullanpur. Tilak Varma departs on the first ball of the 20th over, bringing an end to proceedings.

IND 162 all out (19.1)

SA beat IND by 51 runs.

3 wickets in 1 over! Ottneil Baartman ends with figures of 4/24 in 4 overs. Varun Chakravarthy goes for a big shot on the final ball, but finds Aiden Markram at long-on.

IND 162/9 (19)

Third wicket for Ottneil Baartman! Arshdeep Singh nudges it through third-man for a first-ball boundary. Two balls later, he tries to do the same again, but gets caught at backward point. 

The equation now mathematically impossible for India if SA bowl legal deliveries.

IND 162/8 (18.4)

GONE! Bowled! Ottneil Baartman strikes with the first ball of his final over, and Shivam Dube's stay at the crease ends after just 2 balls. Baartman has been fantastic today, and hasn't given India breathing room during the middle overs.

IND 158/7 (18.1)

Jitesh Sharma pulls a short ball for 6, then tries to go big again but ends up skying it. Ottneil Baartman takes the catch, Sipamla gets his second wicket. 16 off the over, but the required run-rate is up to 28.

IND 158/6 (18)

SIX! Tilak continues to be India's only hope. Lutho Sipamla in to bowl the 18th over, Tilak shows his might and smashes a terrific 6 over extra cover. He nails the timing on the next ball again, but Dewald Brevis' excellent fielding reduces it to 2.

150 up for India.

IND 150/5 (17.2)

Jansen completes his spell with an astonishing over. He concedes just 6 runs in the 17th over, and finishes with 2/25. India's hopes all but gone now. The required run-rate is 24 for the final 3 overs.

IND 142/5 (17)

How did Jitesh Sharma survive there? The ball hits the stumps, the bails light up, but then fall back in place and Jitesh is saved! He then flicks a 6 over deep square-leg the very next ball! Dramatic stuff.

He slams another boundary two balls later, after a fielding error by George Linde in the deep.

IND 136/5 (16)

Jitesh Sharma manages to hit a boundary on the first ball, but Lutho Sipamla bounces back well and concedes just 1 run in the remaining 3 balls. India need 91 in the final 5 overs, at a required rate of over 18!

IND 123/5 (15)

GONE! Hardik Pandya departs the very next ball. He looks to go big again, doesn't time it well once again, and this time Dewald Brevis takes a comfortable catch at deep mid-wicket. Marco Jansen can breathe a sigh of relief.

Hardik departs for 20 off 23. An unsuccessful day in the office for him.

IND 118/5 (14.2)

Oh dear! Marco Jansen has put down an absolute sitter, and Hardik Pandya has received a huge lifeline. Jansen runs in from long-on, but ends up dropping it. Usually such safe hands, but this is a moment to forget.

IND 118/4 (14.1)

SIX! That shot brings up the half-century for Tilak Varma! It's taken the left-hander 27 balls to get to the milestone. He has smashed 4 sixes today, and has really been India's only shining light with the bat today.

IND 112/4 (12.3)

SIX! Finally, Hardik Pandya gets to free his arms and smash a 6. Great hit from the all-rounder, who clears the ropes over long-on. First 6 for Hardik, a much-needed one for his momentum. 100 up for India.

IND 100/4 (12.1)

Hardik Pandya is really not being able to find his groove. Ottneil Baartman is mixing up his line, length and speed very well, and Pandya isn't getting the big shots. He has faced 15 balls but made just 8. India's required run-rate has shot up to 15.

IND 94/4 (12)

Terrific shot! A reverse-sweep executed to perfection from Tilak Varma, and it goes the distance, over third-man for 6. Tilak is fast approaching his half-century now.

IND 88/4 (10.3)

Maximum again from Tilak Varma! Short-ish from Sipamla and helped away over fine-leg for 6. The left-hander is playing a good knock here. Still a mountain to climb for India, they need 133 runs in the final 10 overs.

IND 81/4 (10)

GONE! Axar Patel's strike finds the fielder at short cover. A long check to see whether Reeza Hendricks completed the catch fairly, and it appears that he did! Got his fingers underneath just at the right time. 

Gautam Gambhir and Suryakumar Yadav's decision to send Axar in at No. 3 has backfired badly. A run-a-ball 21 from him.

IND 67/4 (7.3)

Great shot! Axar Patel smashes a huge 6 over deep mid-wicket as part-timer Donovan Ferreira comes in to bowl. Two balls later, Tilak Varma gives himself room and cuts it firmly for 4!

IND 63/3 (6.4)

The powerplay couldn't have gone much better for South Africa. The visitors have dismissed arguably India's three best batters already. Marco Jansen has taken 2 wickets, while Lungi Ngidi has scalped 1.

The required run-rate is inching towards 12.

IND 51/3 (6)

50 up for India. Just within the powerplay. Tilak Varma has begun well, but Axar Patel is struggling at the other end, having made 13 off 16.

IND 50/3 (5.4)

Tilak Varma on the charge! First a crunching drive through the covers for 4, and then a maximum over fine-leg. He targets Lutho Sipamla, and gets rewarded. 13 off the over, important runs for India.

IND 45/3 (5)

DRS masterstroke from South Africa! Appeal for caught-behind against Suryakumar Yadav, but the umpire gave not out. Not much of a reaction at first from the Proteas, but David Miller urged Markram to take a review. And UltraEdge shows a faint edge! 

The Indian captain departs. India are 3 down and in huge, huge trouble.

IND 32/3 (3.5)

First boundary for the captain! Suryakumar Yadav slams it through backward point, that's a classy stroke. He hasn't been in the best of form off late, but will need to play a big knock if India are to win today.

IND 29/2 (3.1)

FOUR! Axar Patel slams his first boundary, through the covers against Ngidi. A much-needed one, as it had been a really tidy over up to that point. Pressure on India, having lost two big wickets in the powerplay.

IND 25/2 (3)

Abhishek Sharma is gone! Huge wicket, terrific delivery from Marco Jansen. The left-armer swings it in beautifully, Abhishek ends up getting a nick and it's caught behind by Quinton de Kock. Massive blow for India.

IND 19/2 (2)

Massive! Abhishek Sharma smashes 6 more, this time against Marco Jansen, over deep mid-wicket. Sweet, sweet sound off the bat. Second maximum for the left-hander.

Meanwhile, Axar Patel is out to bat at No. 3. Very bold call from Gambhir and SKY. The Indian captain has demoted himself again!

IND 19/1 (1.5)

GONE! Disaster! Shubman Gill is out for a golden duck. His poor patch continues. He ends up taking a thick edge, and it's caught at slip by Reeza Hendricks. Delight for South Africa.

IND 9/1 (1)

Huge hit! Abhishek Sharma signals the India chase open with a massive 6 over extra cover. The left-hander clears the ropes with ease against Lungi Ngidi.

IND 8/0 (0.3)

Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill are out to open for India. Lungi Ngidi takes the new ball for SA. If India are to chase this down, you'd imagine that Abhishek would have to play a flier up top.

IND 2/0 (0.1)

8 overs, 99 runs conceded, 0 wickets. India's two pace demons had a night to forget. Arshdeep went for 54, bowling 7 wides in a single over at one stage. Bumrah started well but ended poorly, conceding 18 in the final over.

What a knock from Quinton de Kock. He smashed a 6 in the first over, and did not look back. Seven mighty maximums, and five boundaries, as he narrowly missed out on a century. He has laid a terrific foundation for de Kock today.

18 off Bumrah's final over. South Africa post a mammoth 213/4. A scintillating 90 by Quinton de Kock the headline, but superb cameos by Donovan Ferreira and David Miller at the end too. A day to forget for Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh.

A huge, huge chase ahead for India.

SA 213/4 (20)

IND Target: 214

Another one from Ferreira's blade! Short ball from Bumrah, Ferreira gives himself some room and tonks it over deep square-leg for 6. Powerful hit from the right-hander. 

SA 210/4 (19.4)

Another low full toss gets the treatment from Donovan Ferreira! Bumrah messes up his length, and Ferreira swats it for a flat, straight 6. 200 up for South Africa! They'll still be eyeing 10-15 more runs.

SA 202/4 (19.2)

Arshdeep Singh is really struggling to nail his line and length today. He ends up bowling another low full toss with the greasy ball, and is sent to the cleaners by David Miller. Smashed over deep mid-wicket for 6.

16 off Arshdeep's final over. He finishes with 0/54 in 4 overs.

SA 195/4 (19)

SIX! Smashed! Donovan Ferreira receives a low full toss from Arshdeep Singh and absolutely clobbers it back over his head for a massive 6. South Africa rocketing towards the 200-run mark.

SA 185/4 (18.1)

Three boundaries conceded in a single over by Jasprit Bumrah. India's pace spearhead has missed the yorker a number of times in this over, and Miller has made him pay. 15 off it.

SA 179/4 (18)

Another wicket! This is the best spell of the game for Team India. Dewald Brevis departs, Axar Patel strikes. Brevis looks to go big, doesn't time it well, and it's caught at long-on by Tilak Varma. Superb catch.

SA 160/4 (16.1)

Wicket, then four dots, and finally a boundary on the last ball of the 16th over. Varun Chakravarthy concedes just 4 runs in his final over, and finishes with figures of 2/29. He has been the best Indian bowler by some margin today.

SA 160/3 (16)

GONE! RUN OUT! Superb thinking from Jitesh Sharma, and he's denied Quinton de Kock a hundred. De Kock misses the ball after advancing down the track. The ball bobbles up but Jitesh maintains his composure and inflicts the run-out. "Superb," says Sunil Gavaskar.

Quinton de Kock out for 90 off 46. A stunning knock.

SA 156/3 (15.1)

150-run mark comes up for South Africa. Dewald Brevis smashes his first maximum. It was up in the air for a long time, Shubman Gill put in a good effort to try and catch it, but he stepped on the boundary before he made contact with the ball.

SA 156/2 (15)

What a shot! Quinton de Kock just continues to bludgeon it with spectacular power. He slams it over deep square-leg for 6. Seventh maximum of the game for QDK. A century now just 12 runs away.

SA 147/2 (14)

Top shot! Quinton de Kock hammers it through the covers for 4 against Hardik Pandya. Shubman Gill gives chase, puts in the dive, but it's not enough to stop the boundary. The left-hander is up to 79.

SA 138/2 (13.3)

Shivam Dube into the attack, and he bowls a decent over. Concedes 9 off it, which isn't too bad given how this game has gone so far for India. Dewald Brevis slams his first boundary on the fourth ball of the paper, hammering it through mid-off.

SA 130/2 (13)

Varun Chakravarthy strikes! He gets his revenge on Aiden Markram. The South African captain goes for another big shot on the final ball of the 12th over, but this time he does not connect as well. Good catch taken at deep mid-wicket by Axar Patel. Markram departs for 29.

SA 121/2 (12)

Now Aiden Markram's turn to join the party! Two maximums in a row from the South African captain, against Varun Chakravarthy. The first one is smashed back over the bowler's head. The next one handsomely sent over long-on. The mighty Indian bowling is under all sorts of pressure.

SA 121/1 (11.3)

7 wides in 1 over. 13 deliveries bowled in total. A nightmare over for Arshdeep Singh. Quinton de Kock is into the 70s, and the pressure created by him on Arshdeep has been evident. 

SA 108/1 (11)

A quite extraordinary development in Mullanpur - Arshdeep Singh has bowled 6 wides in 7 balls, including 4 in a row. The pressure created by Quinton de Kock is evident, and the left-arm seamer is unable to execute the wide yorker properly. 100 up for SA.

SA 106/1 (10.5)

BANG! Quinton de Kock shows no signs of stopping. Arshdeep brought back into the attack, but de Kock slams him for 6 back over his head. "What a magnificent strike that is. Brilliant," says Sunil Gavaskar on commentary. 

SA 96/1 (10.1)

Halfway stage of the South African innings, and it has been a successful 10 overs for the visitors, thanks largely to Quinton de Kock. The left-hander has slammed 5 sixes and is batting on 62 off just 31 balls. 

Such has been de Kock's domination that Aiden Markram's relatively slow knock at the other end has almost gone unnoticed. The SA captain is on 14 off 19.

SA 90/1 (10)

Another huge 6! Quinton de Kock is bringing out all the shots in his locker today. He dances down the track and smashes a massive 6 against Axar Patel. Fifth maximum of the day for de Kock.

SA 85/1 (9.1)

FOUR! Quinton de Kock gets to his half-century in 26 balls! A terrific knock from the experienced opener. A low full toss from Hardik is exquisitely placed between two fielders through mid-wicket for 4. Standing ovation from the SA dugout.

SA 75/1 (8.3)

A decent over from Varun Chakravarthy, but it ends on a positive note for South Africa as Quinton de Kock nudges it fine for 4. He moves up to 47 with that shot. 9 off the over ultimately.

SA 70/1 (8)

Quinton de Kock continues to be aggressive, as Hardik Pandya comes in to bowl. He slams a 4 through the covers on the fourth ball of the over. Next delivery, de Kock chips it into the air. Mid-wicket was keen for a second, but the ball lands just short and de Kock survives. He is now into the 40s.

SA 61/1 (7)

End of the powerplay. South Africa have lost the wicket of Reeza Hendricks, but Quinton de Kock has ensured that they've gone at nearly 9 runs per over. Unlike what it seemed initially, this does seem to be a batter wicket to bat on than Cuttack.

De Kock has smashed 4 sixes!

SA 53/1 (6)

SIX again! Fourth maximum already for Quinton de Kock. Once again, he rocks onto his back foot and sends it a long, long way over deep square-leg. He is already into the 30s. 50 up for South Africa.

SA 52/1 (5.5)

Axar Patel enters the attack, and Aiden Markram picks up his first boundary. Width offered by Axar, Markram slams it through the covers for 4. The South African captain will be hoping to play a big knock today.

SA 45/1 (5.3)

BOWLED! Varun Chakravarthy knocks over Reeza Hendricks, first ball! Instant impact from the mystery spinner. Hendricks looks to heave it to the leg-side on the back foot, but misses it, and gets clean bowled.

SA 38/1 (4.1)

Maximum again! Third one of the day already for Quinton de Kock. Jasprit Bumrah slammed for two sixes in his second over. Terrific start for South Africa, who are making their intentions clear today.

SA 38/0 (4)

WOW! What a shot! Reeza Hendricks slams his first maximum of the day, and it's a magnificent hit, against Jasprit Bumrah no less! He clears deep mid-wicket with ease, cracking sound off the bat.

SA 28/0 (3.3)

BANG! What a shot from Quinton de Kock! Bit of a shorter delivery again from Arshdeep; de Kock rocks back and hammers it over the leg-side for 6 runs. His second maximum. Good start by the left-hander.

SA 20/0 (2.3)

After a tidy over by Jasprit Bumrah, Quinton de Kock targets Arshdeep Singh once again. Short delivery and pulled away towards mid-wicket by the left-hander for 4. Not much grass on the surface, and it's not coming onto the bat too well.

SA 14/0 (2.1)

Oh dear! Reeza Hendricks tried to take a quick single but was sent back. He was way out of his ground, but the throw from Tilak Varma at cover did not hit the stumps. India miss a big chance, Hendricks survives.

Two balls later, Quinton de Kock flicks Arshdeep for a 6 over deep square-leg! First maximum!

SA 8/0 (1)

The players are out onto the field at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh. Quinton de Kock and Reeza Hendricks are opening the batting. Arshdeep Singh is taking the new ball.

Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube - India's star-studded bowling attack will be under the scanner again today. They will hope to replicate their performances from the first T20I.

A different challenge in store of them up front today, in the form of Reeza Hendricks.

South Africa XI vs India: Reeza Hendricks, Quinton de Kock (wk), Aiden Markram (c), Dewald Brevis, David Miller, Donovan Ferreira, George Linde, Marco Jansen, Lutho Sipamla, Lungi Ngidi, Ottneil Baartman.

3 changes from SA: Stubbs, Maharaj, Nortje OUT; Hendricks, Linde, Baartman IN.

India XI vs South Africa: Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakaravarthy.

A bold call taken by Suryakumar Yadav and Gautam Gambhir, as they opt to leave out Kuldeep Yadav and Sanju Samson once again.

India captain Suryakumar Yadav wins the toss and opts to bowl! A rare toss win for Team India, given their record off late. SKY suggests dew as the reason for his decision. Interesting call - India are unchanged.

Legendary India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, who is from Chandigarh, leads the pep talk in the Team India huddle, and exchanges embraces with some of the players!

We are just about 15 minutes away from toss time for the second T20I in Mullanpur. It will be the first time that the 38,000-seater stadium in New Chandigarh will host a T20I. Therefore, it will be interesting to see what the toss-winning captain decides.

The stadium, of course, is Punjab Kings' home ground in the IPL.

Two bold omissions were made by Suryakumar Yadav and Gautam Gambhir from Team India's playing XI for the first T20I in Cuttack, as left-arm chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav and wicket-keeper batter Sanju Samson were left out. 

However, after India's big win, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Kuldeep and Samson miss out again.

India's T20I vice-captain Shubman Gill will be under pressure to perform today. He has not managed a single half-century in his last 19 white-ball games for India. With Sanju Samson finding himself out of the team, the pressure is on Gill to flourish as an opener.

A large aspect in making India the No. 1 T20I team in the world has been their bowling attack. And they were in full flow during the first T20I in Cuttack. Every single Indian bowler took a wicket that day. Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel scalped two wickets each, while Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube chipped in with one each.

South Africa will be under pressure to make a comeback. The Proteas were thoroughly outclassed in the first T20I, collapsing to their lowest-ever T20I score - 74. Aiden Markram's men will be eager to put on a more improved showing in Mullanpur today.

India captain Suryakumar Yadav is under the scanner, having not been in good form off late. A big score has eluded him for some time, and he would be keen on silencing the doubters today. Suryakumar is also 47 runs away from 9,000 T20 runs, and 5 sixes away from 400 T20 sixes.

The first T20I was a special day for Jasprit Bumrah. India's pace spearhead took two wickets, reaching 100 T20I wickets. He became the first Indian in cricket history to take 100 international wickets in all three formats.

India all-rounder Hardik Pandya was the star of the show in the first T20I. He smashed a superb 28-ball 59 with the bat, and then took a wicket with the ball, ultimately winning the 'Player of the Match' award.

Today, Hardik can make history. If he takes one wicket, he will become the first pace-bowling all-rounder in T20I history to score 1,000 runs and take 100 wickets.

Team India delivered a spectacular performance in the first T20I in Cuttack, particularly with the ball, bowling out South Africa for their lowest-ever T20I score and clinching a 101-run victory. As a result, they enter today's match with a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.

A very warm welcome to NDTV Sports, for the live coverage of the 2nd T20I between India and South Africa. We are at Mullanpur today! India won the first game of the series in convincing fashion, and the Proteas will be aiming to bounce back.

Stay tuned for all the live updates from the match.
