David Miller shines in a high-scoring game against India

India got their heads down and produced a thorough effort against South Africa in the second of a three-match T20I series on Sunday, October 2, in Guwahati, despite talk of selection and injury difficulties for the T20 World Cup. India took an insurmountable 2-0 series lead after scoring a record-setting 237 for 3 on the board and limiting South Africa to 221 runs.

In a night in which more than 450 runs were scored, David Miller’s incredible 106 not out in 47 balls during a 174-run partnership with Quinton de Kock was not enough to keep South Africa from falling 16 runs short of the total.

On Sunday, India made some history when they won their first-ever T20I series against South Africa at home. The team led by Rohit Sharma appears to have recovered well from the Asia Cup setback, defeating the defending world champions Australia 2-1 and taking a commanding lead over South Africa.

Jasprit Bumrah’s injury news and rumours over his eligibility for the T20 World Cup dominated the lead-up to the second T20 International in Guwahati. Due to a back ailment, Bumrah was unable to participate in the current T20I series. However, India ensured that the focus was on their batting prowess by putting on an incredible show of huge hits against a South Africa bowling attack at full power.
