Speaking about the match, South African captain Temba Bavuma won the toss again as he asked India to bat first. Though India was in a spot of bother after losing four wickets for 81 runs in 12.5 overs, Hardik Pandya and Dinesh Karthik played crucial knocks to reach India to 169 runs in 20 overs. Dinesh Karthik scored 55 runs off 27 balls at a strike rate of 203.7 while Hardik Pandya came up with an important 46 runs off 31 balls.

In reply, South African batters never came into the match as they got bowled out for 87 runs only. Avesh Khan was the pick of the Indian bowlers as he grabbed four wickets by conceding only 18 runs. This was India’s biggest margin of a win over the Proteas in T20Is and Dinesh Karthik was given the player of the match award for his scintillating inning. After this impressive win, India will look to win the series decider on 19 June 2022 in Bengaluru.
