IND vs SA 2nd T20 Highlights: India beat South Africa by 16 runs, Hundred for David Miller

India vs South Africa 2nd T20 Match Highlights: India defeated South Africa by 16 runs in a high-scoring second T20I to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series on Sunday. Sent in to bat, India posted a massive 237 for three, riding on a solid batting display by the top four and then returned to restrict the visitors to 221 for 3 in the stipulated 20 overs. Quinton de Kock (69 not out) and David Miller (106 not out) did the bulk of scoring for the visitors.

KL Rahul (57) and Rohit Sharma (43) put on a 96-run opening stand to set the foundation for India at the Barsapara cricket stadium. Suryakumar Yadav (61) then took centre stage as he smashed five boundaries and as many sixes en route to his 102-run stand off just 40 balls with Virat Kohli (49 not out). Dinesh Karthik then made some lusty blows in his seven-ball 17 not out.

Keshav Maharaj (2/23) was the most successful bowler for South Africa but it turned out to be a disastrous day for the rest of his bowling colleagues. For India, Arshdeep Singh (2/62) and Axar Patel (1/53) were the wicket-takers.

23:16 (IST)02 Oct 2022India vs South Africa Live Score and Updates: Quinny, Miller hit long, fall short 🌪️☕

Sandeep Dwivedi: Quinton de Kock and David Miller are known Indophiles. Between them they have represented 7 IPL franchise teams - Sunrisers Hyderabad, RCB, MI, Lucknow Super Giants, Gujarat Titans, Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI. They are friends with most in the Indian team - they have shared dressing rooms and team hotels with them. Being senior members of their IPL sides, they have been part of team core groups that have hatched plans against all the regulars of the Indians team. With about 7 overs to go in the chase, the two had to score close to 18 runs - three sixes - per over to win for South Africa. In the next over they did manage three. Since India is their second home, almost like their backyard, they knew the conditions. They are well aware that no run-mountain is tough to conquer when in India. They were up against Arshdeep, Axar, Harshal Patel, Deepak Chahar - all sly bowlers in the business of conning big hitters in death overs. And that made the difference. In the last 5 overs they needed to score 20 per over, in the final 3 overs it was 24. In the final over it was 37. Six sixes and a no-ball - Indians had bowled many during the game. If not 6, they did hit 3 and South Africa fell short by 16 runs. The two men, who knew India like the back of the hands, couldn`t pull it off. But they did run them close.

23:12 (IST)02 Oct 2022India vs South Africa Live Score and Updates: India win!

Even for the brilliance of David Miller and Quinton de Kock, it was a little too much for South Africa. India win the 2nd T20I by 16 runs and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match T20I.

23:08 (IST)02 Oct 2022India vs South Africa Live Score and Updates: Hundred for David Miller!

WOW!

David Miller brings up his second T20 hundred in just 46 deliveries. What a sight he has been on the night!

23:04 (IST)02 Oct 2022India vs South Africa Live Score and Updates: SA just won`t give up!

26 runs off Arshdeep Singh`s 19th over. David Miller has brought the equation from 63 off 12 balls to 37 needed off the last six. The Indian players are in a huddle. Axar Patel has the bowl. Quinton de Kock on strike.

22:57 (IST)02 Oct 2022India vs South Africa Live Score and Updates: Another good over for India!

Harshal Patel only concedes 11 and the equation is now 63 needed off 12 balls. Even for the biggest of cricket romantics this can go only one way now.

22:51 (IST)02 Oct 2022India vs South Africa Live Score and Updates: Good last over from Chahar!

Even though it was far from the most economical over he has bowled tonight (which was a maiden), Deepak Chahar`s final over with only eight runs conceded is one India would welcome with open arms. The equation becoming more improbable for the visitors. 164/3 after 17 overs.

22:44 (IST)02 Oct 2022India vs South Africa Live Score and Updates: 100 partnership up!

Quinton de Kock also gets his fifty and even though South Africa need 82 off the last 24, with these two in the middle, India won`t be able to breath easy. 100 partnership up as well. South Africa, 156/3 after 16 overs.

GOOD GOING QUINNY 👏Quinton de Kock has grinded his way to a 12th career T20I half century, coming off 39 deliveries#INDvSA#BePartOfItpic.twitter.com/u0THUzZ5cH

After scoring 33 off 34, Quinton de Kock has put his foot on the throttle. A pull for a six over deep mid-wicket, a slog over cow corner for a six and smash down the ground for four. 18 off the 15th over, South Africa are 143/3.
