India vs South Africa 2nd T20 Live Score: KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma stitch 50-plus partnership as South Africa win toss and invite India to bat first.
Rohit Sharma skipped the practice sessions and was also reported to land in Guwahati on Saturday evening and not with the rest of the team on Thursday. A T20I match between India and Sri Lanka back at this venue in early 2020 had to be abandoned due to poor playing conditions. If that is the case then fans might get to watch a truncated contest. If we look at the performance in bilateral series, India have a terrific record. Latest weather report from Guwahati: There is a cloud cover but doesn't look like it will rain. We got solid batting line-up and it will be a challenge upfront.” Lungi Ngidi drops his length and bowls it bit slow as Rohit Sharma charges down the track. Parnell comes in to bowl his second over and KL Rahul welcomes him with a KLassic shot. Rohit Sharma whacks Keshav Maharaj for a boundary towards the mid-wicket region. Not kidding but there's a snake on the field. Rohit Sharma departs after scoring 43(37). Catch the LIVE updates of IND vs SA 2nd T20I:

FOUR! Having been bowled out for a paltry score on Wednesday, South Africa must believe that there is no way but up. As the lone left-arm pacer in the World Cup squad, Arshdeep is all but guaranteed to feature extensively in Australia. Left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh did his reputation a world of good with a stellar show in the first T20I. Siraj, who joined the team at training here, last played a T20I in February. Bumrah’s absence opens the door for his replacement, Mohammed Siraj, to make an impact. David Miller needs 32 runs to become the leading run-scorer for South Africa in T20Is. The last T20I in Guwahati was washed out in January 2020. Rahul gets a boundary first ball of the match. Good slower ball next up and Rohit flicks this to mid-on as the ball stops on Rohit. A bit of extra bounce this time and Rahul awkwardly rides the bounce and guides it to third-man for a single. Kohli comes in and fends one that keeps low to end the over.

Fuller and outside off, this is squeezed past point and it races away to the fence. Full and on the pads, this is flicked over the square leg fence. Fuller and on middle, this is lofted over long on for a biggie. On middle, this is heaved over the long on fence. It won't win his side the game but it is one to remember.
Recap of the second T20 International between India and South Africa in Guwahati.
India 6/0 after 1 over: Rahul with a punchy start to the night, four through the offside. India 21/0 after 3 overs: Rohit plays out five dot balls in Ngidi’s over either side of a six that wasn’t the most convincing shot either. India 36/0 after 4 overs: Rahul with a flick six that he is playing increasingly more frequently. A four and six (some pull shot!) by Rahul to start the over and two fours for Rohit to finish the over. Rohit is in a better rhythm now, takes on the spinner with the conventional sweep and gets a four. India 194/2 after 17 overs: Kohli joins the part in Parnell’s over. First a flick of wrists for six, then a lofted straight shot, then a four and six behind the wicket to finish the over. India 209/2 after 18 overs: It is probably the humidity but South Africa have struggled with their lengths... South Africa 45/2 after 6 overs: Markram ups the ante. South Africa 156/3 after 16 overs: The task facing SA is such that a 13-run over by Harshal Patel is under par at the moment. South Africa 102/3 after 12 overs: Miller big six off Ashwin in the third delivery. South Africa 175/3 after 18 overs: This match, perhaps not so much of a concern, but Harshal continues to be expensive in the death overs.
In front of a jam packed crowd at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium Rahul sizzled with an eye pleasing 57 of 28 balls before Suryakumar brought out full carnage ...
He then took Kagiso Rabada for cleaners in the 15th over - a flick off wrists went for six over deep square leg, followed by loft over long-off for four. Rohit and Rahul took a four each in the next two overs off Lungi Ngidi and Keshav Maharaj to end the power-play at 57/0. The aggression from India then upped in the fourth over when Rahul nonchalantly flicked off wrists to send a Wayne Parnell delivery over deep backward square leg for six.
Chasing India's 237/3, South Africa managed 221/3 in 20 overs to fall short by 16 runs in Guwahati on Sunday. David Miller remained unbeaten on 106 off 47 ...
[Ball-By-Commentary](https://www.outlookindia.com/sports/cricket-live-score/2nd-t20i-south-africa-vs-india/54739?source=commentary) [Scorecard](https://www.outlookindia.com/sports/cricket-live-score/2nd-t20i-south-africa-vs-india/54739) [Cricket](https://www.outlookindia.com/topic/cricket) The last international fixture at Barsapara Stadium here was an India-Sri Lanka T20 match on January 5, 2020, which was called off due to persistent rain. [India had earlier won the first game](https://www.outlookindia.com/sports/live-cricket-scores-and-updates-india-vs-south-africa-1st-t20i-thiruvananthapuram-news-226434) in Thiruvananthapuram. An overcast sky has made organisers and fans anxious, bringing back memories of the last international cricket match at the venue that had to be abandoned after heavy rain. Virat Kohli remains unbeaten on 49. [India](https://www.outlookindia.com/topic/india-national-cricket-team) won the second T20I by 16 runs despite the heroics from Quinton de Kock (69 not out) and Davild Miller (106 not out) at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati to clinch the series 2-0 with a match to go. Despite losing the toss, [KL Rahul](https://www.outlookindia.com/topic/kl-rahul) and Rohit Sharma started off brightly as the South African pacers failed to hit the perfect lengths. Chasing India's 237/3, South Africa managed 221/3 in 20 overs to fall short by 16 runs in Guwahati on Sunday. Suryakumar Yadav alongside [Virat Kohli](https://www.outlookindia.com/topic/virat-kohli) ensured India reached a formidable 237/3 in 20 overs. A central Indian community marks its devotion to Ram by tattooing his name all over their bodies as a protest against caste oppression.
