IND vs SA 2nd Test Highlights: Team India win by 7 wickets in Cape Town to level the series 1-1

A Test match lasting just 642 deliveries with a result is unheard of but has happened with a bizarre game in Cape Town. A team was bowled out for 55, another lost six wickets in 11 balls for no runs, only one batsman scored a fifty and he went on to smash a century and two bowled ended up taking a six-wicket haul in either innings - make of this information what you will. After all that happened in just two days, Team India will be glad to be on the right side of the result after such a chaotic game, given any Asian side was yet to win a Test match at Newlands, this win is as big as it gets. The second day began with Jasprit Bumrah registering his 9th five-wicket haul in Test cricket and third in South Africa while Aiden Markram with a blockbuster century helped South Africa to a score of 176. 79 wasn't going to be enough by any means and India eventually chased it down with seven wickets in hand.
