Match has resumed after a brief rain halt in the ongoing IND vs SA 2nd T20I at the St. George’s Park in Gqeberha. India were 180/7 in 19.3 before rain forced the game to stop. Rinku Singh was unbeaten on 68 off 39, while Gerald Coetzee was on a hattrick. The hosts now need 152 in 15 overs to take lead in the series. Earlier, South Africa made a brilliant start with the ball after opting to field. The pacers had reduced India to 6 for 2 with the early wickets of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill. However, captain Suryakumar Yadav (56) and Tilak Varma (29) played counter-attacking knocks to set the tone for a big total.
