India beat South Africa by 16 runs in a high-scoring Twenty20 international in Guwahati on Sunday to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series as David Miller and Quinton de Kock's unbeaten 174-run stand was in vain.
David Miller's explosive ton went in vain as Indian bowlers hold their nerve to clinch the T20I series 2-0 after 16 run victory in the second T20I against South Africa at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati on Sunday. With the win, Team India took an unassailable lead 2-0 over South Africa. For South Africa, Miller slammed an unbeaten 106 in 47 balls while Quinton de Kock played a knock of not out 69 off 48.

If a snake slithering onto the field during India's innings was not enough, the worst was in store when the stadium went into partial darkness during South Africa's chase of the massive target of 238, causing a second interruption in the match. Just after the first ball of Deepak Chahhar in the third over when South Africa were reeling at 5/2, play came to halt after one of the four floodlight towers went off, halting play for 18 minutes. All the players went back to the dressing room and it took about six minutes for the lights to slowly turn on one by one before play resumed. Blaming it on a "technical glitch", Assam Cricket Association secretary Devajit Saikia told PTI: "We have three parties handling the power aspect – our own 25-member team, a third (outsourced) party and the state power department. It was perhaps a voltage problem, some technical glitch." Saikia said the ACA has used generator sets to power the match and not depended on electricity supply from the power department. The media contingent also faced a similar problem before the match as there were no lights till a few overs into the match as the officials took hours to find out the fault. Earlier during India's innings, it was the turn of a snake to stop the play for about five minutes in a rare sight during an international match.
Virat Kohli on Sunday became the first India to complete 11,000 runs in T20 history.
