Team India managed to score a low total of 124/6 in the first innings of the second T20I against South Africa on Sunday (November 10) at St George's Park in Gqeberha. The visitors are currently leading the 4-match series 1-0 after winning the opening match in Durban last Friday.
South Africa captain Aiden Markram won the toss and opted to bowl first in the second T20I. Marco Jansen gave the hosts a good start by dismissing last match's centurion, Sanju Samson, for a three-ball duck in the first over. Abhishek Sharma (4) and Suryakumar Yadav (4) also followed Samson to the pavilion soon, leaving India in a spot of bother at 15/3.
Tilak Varma (20) and Axar Patel (29) tried to stabilize the innings with a 30-run partnership. However, both failed to convert their starts and departed in quick succession. Rinku Singh also fell cheaply for 9(11) as India slumped to 87/6. Hardik Pandya played a sedate knock of 39*(45) on a tricky surface in the company of Arshdeep Singh (7*) and took India to a decent total of 124.

After the conclusion of the first innings of the second T20I, South African pacer Andile Simelane reflected on his bowling performance, saying (as quoted by Cricbuzz):
"When Aiden told me that I’m going to bowl the 4th over, I thought about the options we had and the lengths we want to bowl. We had our plans to Sky. We executed our plans and I’m happy."
He added:
"The coaches told me to back my slower balls and I managed to execute them.) Very happy to get a big wicket under my name, it’s something special I will not forget. It’s nice working with them, they told me not to worry. They motivated me and I managed to stay calm."
Simelane dismissed Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav to register his maiden T20I wicket.
