IND vs SA, 2nd T20I: What is India’s heaviest defeat in T20Is?
India looks set to suffer a comprehensive defeat against South Africa in the second T20I at the Maharaja Yadvindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh on Thursday.
Quinton de Kock scored 90 from 46 balls to help South Africa reach 213 for four in its 20 overs, before South Africa made early inroads into the Indian batting lineup to leave the Indian chase floundering.
