2nd Test Day 2 | India vs South Africa LIVE SCORE: How it all panned out

 

India beat South Africa by seven wickets to register a win on Day 2 of India vs South Africa's 2nd Test at the Newlands Stadium in Cape Town on Thursday, January 04, 2024. Courtesy of this, India levelled the two-match series 1-1, having lost the first Test in Centurion by an innings and 32 runs. 

 

Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj were the heroes with the ball for India as both took a five-wicket haul in each South African innings. While Siraj finished with figures of 6/15 in the first innings to roll Proteas over for 55, Bumrah's 6/61 was crucial in limiting the South Africans to 176 in their second innings. 

 

Earlier Bumrah took five of the seven wickets to fall in the morning session on Day 2 before India chased the target of 78 in only 12 overs. Aiden Markram though was class apart as he hit a 99-ball hundred to give his team an outside chance. However, Siraj snapped him and that spelt the end of Proteas' hopes in this game. South Africa started the second day of play with an overnight score of 62/3.

Lungi Nagidi and Nandre Burger have played 30 balls together. It clearly shows that had the Proteas batter applied themselves, it was not a dynamite wicket to bat on. But they never applied and went on an all-out attack, which only paid for Markram and not the rest of them.

This is an unbelievable century against the run of play by Aiden Markram as he has single-handedly kept the Proteas in the game with this magnanimous innings.
