In the second T20 International between South Africa and India, South Africa secured a five-wicket victory on Tuesday. India, having been put into bat, posted a total of 180 for 7. However, rain interrupted play, leading to a revised target of 152 in 15 overs for the hosts.

India's innings saw an impressive performance from skipper Suryakumar Yadav, who scored 56 off 36 balls, and Rinku Singh, who remained unbeaten at 68 off 39 deliveries. The batting display was cut short by rain with three balls left in the innings.

Chasing the revised target, South Africa achieved victory in 13.5 overs, reaching a total of 154 for 5. Reeza Hendricks contributed significantly with 49 runs, and skipper Aiden Markram added 30 runs to the scoreboard.
