South Africa made a strong comeback in the T20 series and defeated India by 3 wickets in the second match. In this low-scoring match played in Port Elizabeth, the bowlers of both the teams dominated but South Africa won the match on the basis of Gerald Coetzee's excellent all-round performance and Tristan Stubbs' fighting innings. Spinner Varun Chakraborty, who gave Team India hope of victory in this match by scoring only 124 runs, looked the most powerful but even his 5 wickets could not stop South Africa. With this the series was also leveled at 1-1.

The batsmen of both the teams had to struggle in the second match of the series on Sunday 10 November at St. George's Park. It started with Team India, which had made big scores in the last several matches. Team India, which had scored 202 runs in the first T20, could not even complete 20 overs this time and could score only 124 runs in 19.3 overs. Team India's top order failed miserably in this match, in which the difficult pitch and strong bowling played an important role.
