India vs South Africa, 2nd T20I - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Ottneil Baartman to Axar, out Caught by Reeza Hendricks!! Axar Patel's struggle has been put to an end! Length delivery on off-stump, Axar looked to slap it over cover but got no timing on it once more, hit him high on the bat and he carved it towards Hendricks at cover. It was dying on him but he did well to just get his fingers underneath that. He wasn't quite sure but replays show that it was taken cleanly. India have been dealt another blow just when a partnership was developing. South Africa are bossing things at the moment. Axar c Reeza Hendricks b Ottneil Baartman 21(21) [4s-1 6s-1]
