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

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

Just four singles from the over. Indian won't mind singles at this point when the required run-rate has crept to almost nine.

SA 33/3

Excellent powerplay from India's perspective. Klaasen joins skipper Bavuma in the middle, with South Africa reeling at 29/3 after first six overs. Bhuvneshwar has been exceptional, conceding just 10 and taking three wickets from his first three overs. Yuzvendra Chahal comes in to bowl the seventh over.

Bowled him!!! No prizes for guessing who's the bowler. Bhuvneshwar takes his third and removes last game's hero Rassie van der Dussen. Credit to Rishabh Pant for giving Bhuvi one more over.

SA 29/3

Seven off Avesh Khan's over and Bhuvneshwar continues. He will bowl the last over of the powerplay!

SA 28/2

Four! Bavuma flicks Avesh in the mid-wicket region and picks up another boundary! The SA skipper is showing a positive intent despite his team enduring early blows.

An audacious shot from Temba Bavuma! He gets down on one knee against Hardik and hits a maximum over the keeper's head! Six runs!

SA 21-2

Brilliant from Bhuvneshwar, who gives away just four and takes the wicket of Pretorius. Hardik Pandya is now into the attack.

Bhuvneshwar strikes again! Another knuckle ball and Pretorius walks back for four. Brilliant catch from Avesh, who keeps his eyes on the ball.

SA 13/2

Pretorius greets Bhuvneshwar with a boundary in the third over! He slams it straight back over the bowler to show his aggressive intent.

SA 13/1

Over the slips... and it flies past the fielders for a boundary! Avesh Khan wasn't happy with that one.

SA 9/1

Bhuvneshwar is always an exceptional operator with the new ball. The ball hits the back pad and then crashed into the off stump. What a start!

SA 5/1

Bowled him!!! Bhuvneshwar with the breakthrough in the first over. He bowls Hendricks for just 4.

Top shot! Hendricks gets off the mark with a lovely punch on the off side. Textbook backfoot shot from the batter.

SA 5/0

Indian players form a huddle, while South Africa field a new opening pair in QDK's absence tonight. Temba Bavuma and Reeza Hendricks start for the visitors.

Should India have sent him up the order ahead of Axar Patel? Fresh from a stellar IPL spell with RCB, Karthik gathers unbeaten 30 off 21 deliveries that featured two straight sixes in the last over. His late flourish has helped India post a challenging total on the board. There's now dew in Cuttack. Over to bowlers!!

19.4: Pretorius goes short and DK clears mid-off with ease. He was up to the task and hit it past fielder Temba Bavuma for a six!

19.5: Another one!!! Karthik goes straight and he produces another six!

18 off the 20th over and India end up with 148/6 in 20 overs. Dinesh Karthik remains unbeaten on 30.

What a start to the 20th over! A fullish delivery and Harshal whacks it towards mid-off.

India 134/6

Another one! Karthik knew exactly where the fielders were. He ends the over with a boundary behind square. 12 runs off Nortje's over.

India 130/6

Here we go!!! A much-needed boundary for India. Nortje bowls it short and DK pulls it away for a four. The Indian didn't time it well but Nortje's pace worked in his favour. We have seen batters struggling to time the ball on this wicket so far.

India 125/6

A superb spell from Kagiso Rabada comes to an end! He set the tone with the Gaikwad wicket and the other SA bowlers have followed the template! Rabada returns 1/15 in his four overs. Couple of overs left for India.

India 118/6

Boundary after 24 balls! A freebie from Rabada. New man Harshal Patel opens the face of the bat against the full toss and gets a much-needed boundary behind point.

India 117/6

What a delivery to end the over! Nortje bowls Axar, who departs after scoring 10. The hosts lose sixth wicket!

India 112/6

South African pacers have been right on the money. Runs have dried for India in the last five-six overs and couple of wickets have fallen too. Rabada gives away just five runs. Four overs still to go. Can the hosts touch the 150 mark?

India 109/5

Tidy from Wayne Parnell, who gives away just five runs from the 15th over. Five more overs to go and Indian team management will be discussing, 'What's a big score on this surface?'. The hosts certainly have to dish out an improved bowling performance tonight. At present, the focus is on Dinesh Karthik as we move into the slog overs.

India 104/5

Shreyas was well set, batting on 40. India now have a big task at hand. Dinesh Karthik joins Axar in the middle as the hosts look to gather a challenging total on the board.
