OBAKENG MELETSE
The second T20 International between South Africa and India was called off due to persistent rain at the MA Chidambaram Stadium yesterday. The result means the Proteas 1-0 lead is unassailable, and they are the only side that can win the series with one match left to play.
South Africa lost the toss and for the second match in a row, India asked the Proteas Women to bat first. They posted a solid 177-6 in 20 overs.
Tazmin Brits 52 off 39 balls scored her second consecutive half-century, but survived an early scare in her innings. Having faced only six balls she was beaten all ends up and given out stumped by Uma Chetry off the bowling of debutant Sajeevan Sajana on five.
An error by the Indian wicketkeeper in completing her stumping saw the decision being reversed.
