When two talented stroke makers decide to put on a show for a near full-house, there isn’t much a fielding side could do.
South Africa was at the receiving end of a spectacular display of batting by Ishan Kishan (93, 84b, 4x4, 7x6) and Shreyas Iyer (113 not out, 111b, 15x4) at the JSCA Stadium on a pleasant Sunday night. Riding on their 161-run stand for the third wicket, India won the second ODI to level the three-match series.
The host was set a target of 279. It was achieved with ridiculous ease, with 4.1 overs and seven wickets to spare.
