India are currently trailing the 3-match T20I series 1-0 after the first match was abandoned due to rain. South Africa won the 2nd T20I by 5 wickets which was also interrupted by rain.

Rinku Singh’s explosive maiden fifty on the night went in vain as Reeza Hendricks and skipper Aiden Markram won the match for the home team with their aggressive approach in just 13.5 overs in the end.
