India vs South Africa Highlights, 2nd T20I 2022: India beat South Africa by 16 runs to seal the series 2-0

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 the scoring for the visitors. Get live cricket score updates of match between India vs South Africa.

For someone who has a career strike-rate of 136-plus from 30 T20Is, it's Axar's batting that has inspired confidence in skipper Rohit Sharma: "I would like to see him batting as well."

The Axar effect
Thankfully, it's not the case in the spin department. Axar Patel has been a revelation after Ravindra Jadeja's knee surgery finally cemented his spot. From struggling to find a spot, Patel, a like-for-like replacement for the ace Indian all-rounder, has ticked all the boxes. He was the top wickettaker -- eight wickets at an average of 7.87 -- in India's 2-1 win over the world T20I champions in their last series here. And against South Africa too he was at his miserly best -- 1/16 -- bowling in the middle-overs along with Ravichandran Ashwin as it's a department that looks sorted.

India's pace concerns
But swing will be out of equation in conditions Down Under and Chahar is more in the mould of Bhuvenshwar Kumar, who is in the World Cup XI along with Arshdeep. Siraj, on the other hand, has struggled of late and has inspired very little confidence. It's a different debate altogether that Bhuvneshwar, who is short on experience -- three T20Is -- in Australia has started leaking runs and no longer holds the ace, as it was seen in their Asia Cup elimination last month. Ditto for World Cup-bound Harshal Patel as it remains to be seen how the think-tank manages to arrange the jigsaw.

Poll
Can Team India seal the series today with a win?
17:06 (IST) Oct 02

Officially, Jasprit Bumrah is only out of South Africa series: Rahul Dravid

'He is being assessed, we are hopeful, not everything will be perfect' -- As India fret over how serious bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah's stress fracture injury is, head coach Rahul Dravid is hoping that the bowler manages to make it to T20 World Cup Down Under starting on October 16.

Chahar & Arshdeep demolished the Proteas in 1st T20I
For the SA series, the team has a fit-again Deepak Chahar who also figures in the World Cup standby. Chahar (4-0-24-2) looked in fine mettle when he along with young left-arm pace gun Arshdeep Singh (4-0-32-3) reduced the Proteas to 9/5 inside the powerplay on the Greenfield track as India took a 1-0 lead.
16:50 (IST) Oct 02
Shami has recovered from COVID-19 and has more chances of making it to Australia because of his experience Down Under. If that's the case, he might end up having little game time before their World Cup warm-up fixture against the reigning champions on October 16.
16:45 (IST) Oct 02
The seasoned Mohammad Shami, who is in the World Cup squad as stand-by, is not here for the South Africa series.
16:43 (IST) Oct 02
Umesh Yadav and Mohammad Siraj have been added to the squad as injury replacements but they do not figure in the World Cup-bound squad, as of now. The burning question is, will the two remaining T20Is give the team management scope to test Bumrah's replacement.
16:42 (IST) Oct 02
The ongoing series was originally planned as the final tune-up for Rahul Dravid's team but Bumrah's absence from the remaining two T20Is has now thrown more questions than answers.
16:41 (IST) Oct 02
It may be unsettled after an unexpected injury to Jasprit Bumrah but the Indian team would aim to continue its winning run and complete a rare home-series win against South Africa when the two sides clash in the second T20 International today.
