India came close to defending a small total in the second T20I against South Africa in Gqeberha on Sunday, before Tristan Stubbs played a cameo to take his team home for a series-levelling three-wicket win at St. George's Park. But former Pakistan batsman Basit Ali slammed Hardik Pandya for playing a "selfish" knock that cost India crucial runs.
India's batting couldn't fire like in the first T20I. First-match centurion, Sanju Samson, was dissmissed for a duck, while the big-hitting Abhishek Sharma (4) and Suryakumar Yadav (4) failed to inspire; and the visitors could only muster 124 for 6.
