IND vs SA 2nd T20I Highlights: South Africa win by 3 wickets as Stubbs, Coetzee hold nerves

And South Africa get the win. Tristan Stubbs and Gerald Coetzee hold their nerves to take the team over the line. SA win this by 3 wickets with 1 over in hand. 

Coetzee with a six in the previous over and Stubbs with a four. SA need 25 from 18

We are down to the final 5 overs. South Africa need 41 here. Stubbs is still out there with Simelane, who can bat as well. This game is taking an exciting route. Simelane has been cleaned up. Bishnoi strikes with a googly that was quicker. 

Chakravarthy is onto something special here. He cleans Miller on a golden duck. He gets a fifer, becoming only the fifth Indian with a fifer.

It's Chakravarthy once again. He gets the big fish Klaasen, who holes out to long-on.

Chakravarthy cleans up Marco Jansen now. Another googly and he cleans up Jansen. SA still need more than 60 and this game looks on.

And he has another. Chakravarthy has cleaned up the set Hendricks with this googly. 

And Chakrvarthy strikes in his first over. He cleans up Aiden Markram and this might give a glimmer of hope to the Indians. 

Arshdeep Singh gets his man! Ryan Rickelton tried to hit the left-arm seamer but handed a simple catch to deep backward square leg fielder and South Africa have lost their first wicket early.

South Africa are off to a fine start here. 2 boundaries in the second over and they are at 16/0 after 2 overs. 

The run-chase is now on. Reeza Hendricks is in the middle with Ryan Rickelton. Arshdeep to open the bowling

The run-chase is a little away from now. The Indian team is in a huddle. 

That's the end of India's innings. Hardik's hard-fought score of 39 from 45 balls takes them to 124. Only six from the last over. India might have been some runs short here. 

Hardik is playing a decent innings here. He is taking calculated risks and has taken India well past 100. He is the key.

No this is not what India wanted. Rinku Singh has found a fielder on his sweep. He top-edges this slog-sweep to short fine leg. India 87/6

India are in big trouble at the moment. They have made only 80 from the first 14 overs and have lost 5 wickets. There is not much batting to come from here. Rinku and Hardik are in the middle and will need to play the full quota of overs to try and get to 150 somehow.

Another one down. Not going India's way today. The set batter in Axar has gone. This was hit hard by Hardik and the ball ricocheted to the stumps off the hand of the bowler. Axar was out of the crease and has been run out.

What a catch this is. Tilak Varma charges down and smashes this towards the covers. Miller stuck his hand out and grabbed it. What a catch. India 45/4 after 8

That's the end of the powerplay. India in a bit of trouble, having lost both the openers and Suryakumar Yadav. Tilak Varma is joined by Axar Patel as India didn't wanted to expose their finishers Hardik and Rinku early. India 34/3 after 6.

That's a body blow. Simelane gets the Indian captain Suryakumar plumb LBW. This is his first T20I wicket and a big one.

Coetzee strikes too and both the Indian openers are back to the hut in the first two overs. Abhishek top edges this and is caught by the fine leg fielder who runs back to take the catch.

Ohh no! Samson has been bowled for a duck here. The centurion in the last two games, Samson is out for a duck.

The two Indian openers - Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma are out in the middle. The sun is out now, which might not please the South African bowlers. The action is live now. Jansen with the ball. 

It's time for the anthems before the play gets underway. India's anthem first, followed by South Africa's.

There is rain around in Gqeberha. It was drizzling at the time of the toss. But the players are on the ground and we don't see a reason for this game to get a delayed start. It might have been a passing shower.

Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakaravarthy, Avesh Khan

Aiden Markram(c), Ryan Rickelton, Reeza Hendricks, Tristan Stubbs, Heinrich Klaasen(w), David Miller, Marco Jansen, Andile Simelane, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Nqabayomzi Peter

We wanted to bat first and play same brand of cricket, happy with the things in the last match. You always learn something or the other in every game. We want to continue the good habits. No changes, playing with the same XI.

We are going to bowl first again. With rain around, that's the obvious part. Hope the bowlers use the moisture. Kruger is out, Hendricks is in. We are not concerned about the outcome or result.

South Africa have won the toss and have asked India to bat first. Rain is around, hang on as we bring more updates

The pacers are expected to get more help with the greenery on the surface. India shall bring in a pacer for a spinner. Toss coming up

The pitch at St George's Park in Gqeberha is a balanced one and it offers something for batters and the bowlers as well. There is plenty in it for the fast bowlers, who find good bounce and carry. The batters can score well if they spend time in the middle.

While you gear up for this match, watch out for the weather guys. There is a 49% chance of rain in Gqeberha at 4 PM local time, which is the time this match is scheduled to get underway. It is 63% at 6 PM local time and 40% at 7:30 PM local time. Fingers crossed!

India bossed the previous game for most part of it. After being asked to bat first, Samson put up a show. He made 107 and helped India post 202. The bowlers were right on the money with spinners Varun Chakaravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi taking five wickets between them. India restricted the Proteas to 141 and won the game by 61 runs.

You might have not forgotten that but to bring the context here, Sanju Samson did what no other Indian has ever done. He became the first Indian batter to hit centuries in back-to-back T20I innings. He was only the fourth in the world to do so. Now he sits on the threshold of becoming the first-ever player with three consecutive T20I tons. 

After Sanju Samson's terrific ton handed India a big win in the first T20I, the Men in Blue will look to equal their best-ever winning streak in the format. They are currently riding on an 11-match streak and are one win away from equalling their best streak, which they have achieved twice before. As for South Africa, this match would be crucial for their chances to bounce back in the series and bid for a win. Stay tuned as I, Varun Malik, bring you all the updates from the IND vs SA 2nd T20I in Gqeberha.
