Ind vs SA, 2nd T20I, Live Score: India win first ever T20I series against South Africa

 

It was a run-fest at the ACA Stadium in Barsapara, Guwahati as South Africa scored 221-3 chasing 238 and lost the game by just 16 runs. David Miller hit a terrific 46-ball 100 while Quinton de Kock scored 69 off 48 balls to push the South African innings which was languishing at 47-3 in the seventh over. 

 

Earlier in the evening, India, riding on the back of some brilliant innings by Rohit Sharma (43), KL Rahul (57), Virat Kohli (49) and Suryakumar Yadav (62 off just 22 balls), scored 237-3 in their 20 overs, the most runs scored against South Africa in T20Is history. 

 

Courtesy of this win, India have now taken an unassailable 2-0 lead and for the first time ever, won a home T20I series against South Africa.

Ind vs SA, 2nd T20I, Live Score: Miller hits a fantastic century, yet South Africa lose by 16 runs

 

Axar is into the attack

 

Ball 1 Axar Patel has been tasked to bowl the last over. And he bowls well to give only a single 

 

Ball 2 Six!! That’s a humungous six to reach 99 as Killer Miller proves once again why he has been named so 

 

Ball 3 Six!! And Miller has just overshadowed the entire Indian and South African batting lineup with the hundred he has achieved in just 46 balls 

 

Ball 4 Yorker darted in and Miller takes a single 

 

Ball 5 de Kock went for the big heave, but misses the quicker delivery 

 

Ball 6 Six!! And the innings here would end with a six and although India won by 16 runs, it looks more like a game specially designed for the Miller-Surya show while KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and Quinton de Kock played supporting roles.
