India vs South Africa 2nd T20 Highlights: Klaasen's blistering 81 helps SA beat IND by 4 wickets, gain 2-0 series lead

That's all the action we have for you today. Thank you so much for joining us for the second T20 International in Cuttack. We will be back for the third one at ACA VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam. Until then, it's goodbye.

Heinrich Klaasen is 'Player of the Match' for his sensational 81.

"Quinny came up to me in the bus and told me that he has injured his wrist. Yesterday morning his hand was a bit stiff, so I got to know that I am playing yesterday. It looked very difficult with the new ball, so I tried to target the spinners. 

“I am glad it happened against India. I am honored to be here, and I am lucky to be here. Lot of staff members backed me, so pretty happy with that support, this one's for them,” says Klaasen.

"It was a tricky chase, Bhuvi bowled well, he made the ball talk upfront. It could have been clinical towards the end, but we will take that. We really needed someone to take it deep. That's the role I play in the game, to close it off," says Temba Bavuma.

"There's a learning I can take from this game, will try better in the next game. We knew it wasn't going to be an easy chase, but we were confident."

“We were 10-15 runs short. Bhuvi and the fast bowlers bowled well in the first 7-8 overs. But after that we weren't up to the mark. In the second half we needed wickets, but we couldn't get those wickets. They (Klaasen and Bavuma) actually batted really well,” says Pant.

David Miller says it is really tough to win here, so to have a win like this and be 2-0 up is a great achievement. We are on the right track but there's still a lot of cricket to be played.

"A great win, it was a bit of a tricky wicket. We were in trouble. They bowled well up front. Klassen's knock was phenomenal. It was playing your game on the track, you can't worry about keeping your wicket," says David Miller.

"It was the coach and captain's decision for me to go at 6. They held me back for the final 10 but Klaasen's was a top knock. It is very tough to win in India, but we still have a lot of hard work still to do. We still want to keep going strength to strength. We are on the right track but a lot still to do."

Heinrich Klaasen hit 81 off 46 deliveries, Bavuma kept the scoreboard ticking with 35 off 30 balls. Earlier, Bhuvneshwar's triple-strike derailed the Proteas in the powerplay. The seasoned pacer returned 4/13 in his four overs. Pant has to wait for first win while leading the Indian side!

Shreyas Iyer comes in to bowl and Miller takes a double on the second delivery! Miller hits the winning runs as South Africa get over the line in 18.2 overs! Two in a row for the Proteas as they gain a 2-0 series lead!

Bowled him! Four-fer for Bhuvneshwar Kumar! He removes Parnell (1) to return 4/13 in his four overs.

Klaasen was looking to finish the game with a big hit but he picks out Ravi Bishnoi. He departs after scoring a match-defining 81 off 46 balls!

SA 144/5

15.4: Klaasen joins the fun! He's making it look ridiculously easy out there. A 90m six over long-on.

15.6: Take that!!! Klaasen hits another biggie, this time over deep mid-wicket. 23 runs off Chahal's over.

SA 138/4

All you can do is grin and smile! Miller whacks a 91m six against Yuzvendra Chahal. Six runs!

SA 123-4

Up and over mid-wicket! A couple of bounces and it goes past the boundary rope. Avesh banged it short but Klaasen was ready to pull it away to the fence. Four more! 

Single off the next ball and Klaasen keeps the strike. Five more overs to go.

SA 115/4

Klaasen has been there for a while and he's completely soaked in sweat. He has done a commendable job in humid conditions, while the Indian bowlers have slipped a bit after Bhuvneshwar's triple-strike in the powerplay. Klaasen has produced a flurry of boundaries to shift the momentum. Can he close it down for South Africa?

SA 109/4

What a shot! Over long-on and Klaasen clears the fence with absolute ease against Hardik, who bowls an off-cutter. Sweet timing from the South African.

10 runs off Hardik's over. Six more overs to go!

SA 108/4

Klaasen notches up fourth T20I fifty. His second against India! He's been the standout performer for SA after coming in as injury replacement.

SA 101-4

What an over! Miller has joined Klaasen but India are well alive in the contest with Bavuma's wicket. Chahal concedes nine but removes Bavuma on 35.

SA 98/4

Bowled him! Big wicket! Chahal removes Bavuma (35) to break the partnership.

SA 93-4

11.3: Sublime!!! Klaasen hits Axar over deep mid-wicket for a massive six! The hit also brings up 50-run stand between Klaasen and Bavuma.

11.4: Inside edge and it goes away to the boundary fence! Klaasen again went for a biggy against Axar. 

19 runs off the over and the required run rate is less than 8 now. It was Miller who stepped up in the previous game. Klaasen is doing the role tonight.

SA 89-3

Klaasen plays it late, almost like a back cut to keep the scoreboard ticking. It seems humid out there but both Klaasen and Bavuma are looking to forge a steady partnership. India were 74/3 at this point. SA still have quite a bit to do.

SA 66/3

Harshal gives away just four singles after being hit for a four on the first delivery. 10 overs gone and Proteas have a mountain to climb. 92 runs needed off 60 balls – that's the equation. Don't forget they have David Miller in the ranks too.

SA 57/3

Another one! Klaasen has decided to throw his bat at everything. It was a length ball but seemed like Klaasen was already ready for it. He swings it towards deep mid-wicket for a four.

SA 53-3

8.2: A much-needed boundary! Klaasen goes inside-out against Chahal and lofts it over extra cover for a boundary.

8.4: Klaasen now targets on-side. Chahal bowls it on his pads and the South African slog sweeps it over deep mid-wicket. Six runs! 

13 runs off Chahal's over and the crowd has gone a bit quiter.

SA 48/3

Unexpected bounce... but well managed by Bavuma, who nudges it to backward point for a single. South Africa desperately seeking some sort of flow. But Indian bowlers have kept it tight so far. Just three off Harshal Patel's over.

SA 36/3
