Tristan Stubbs smashed an unbeaten 47 off 41 balls, and Gerald Coetzee remained not out on 19 to help South Africa recover from middle-over collapse drama to win the second T20I against India by three wickets and level the series 1-1. For India, Varun Chakaravarthy picked five wickets.&nbsp;

South Africa won the toss and elected to bowl first in Gqeberha, making the most of the conditions upfront by removing the last-game hero Sanju Samson on a second-ball duck. Gerald Coetzee removed Abhishek Sharma in the second over, with Captain Suryakumar Yadav falling shortly after on four.&nbsp;

Tilak Varma and Axar Patel steadied the ship with a 30-run stand but failed to prolong it further, as Proteas skipper Aiden Markram provided the breakthrough to reduce India to 45 for four inside eight overs.&nbsp;

<h2>Blow for South Africa</h2>

Bowling on Day 3 of the Centurion Test, Coetzee aggravated his pelvic inflammation which saw him pass unfit for the Cape Town Test. He bowled only five overs during the Indian second innings with Nandre Burger and Kagiso Rabada doing the majority bowling shift. His only wickets in the match came in the first innings when he scalped Mohammed Siraj for 5. He will now look to gain his fitness ahead of the New Zealand tour which starts in February.

The injury also puts doubts on his involvement in the SA20 scheduled to begin on January 10. He was recently bought by Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League auctions for $600, 000.

Cricket South Africa on the flip side have opted not to name a replacement with Lungi Ngidi and Wiaan Mulder as fast-bowling options already present in the squad. Keshav Maharaj is another player who can replace the speedster if the Proteas decide to go with a spin option.

<h2>What happened in the first match?</h2>

After securing a 163-run lead in their first innings, India were called into bat on Day 3 of the Centurion Test needing a good start. However, those plans were dented as the visitors lost the quick-fire wickets of Rohit Sharma (0) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (5). This was Rohit’s fifth Test duck as he suffers from a poor run of form. The visitors were 13/2 before Shubman Gill (26) and Virat Kohli (76) tried to stitch up a partnership.

Later, Gill and Shreyas Iyer were scalped by Marco Jansen as India were 72/4 with KL Rahul and Kohli batting. With wickets falling at regular intervals, Kohli changed gears and tried to get his hundred, however, his wicket in the 35th over brought curtains down to the innings as India lost by an innings and 32 runs. Apart from Virat, only Gill got into double figures for India as they now switch attention to the second Test in Cape Town.

SA vs IND, 2nd Test: Gerald Coetzee ruled out of Cape Town contest with pelvic inflammation

South Africa ended Afghanistan’s dream run at World Cup 2023 with a five-wicket win in their final league match in Ahmedabad on Friday (Nov 10). The second-best team in the tournament completed a successful run-chase at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium to end up with 14 points from nine matches. Afghanistan got eliminated with eight points from their all-contested games.

With one eye on an improbable semis chance, Afghanistan asked South Africa to chase after winning the toss. Following a cautious start to the innings, Afghanistan lost three wickets quickly, with openers and captain Hashmatullah Shahidi back in the hut.&nbsp;

Youngster Azmatullah Omarzai kept his scoring rate going with handy stands during the middle overs. Though Protean bowlers remained on the top of their games, Omarzai stood his ground, helping his team bat through the fifty overs.

Gerald Coetzee starred for South Africa, picking four for 44 in ten overs, while right-handed Omarzai remained stranded on 97 as Afghanistan got all out on 244.

Quinton de Kock surpassed Rachin Ravindra as the tournament’s top-scorer during his 47-ball 41-run stay at the crease, while Captain Temba Bavuma and Aiden Markram contributed with healthy 20s.&nbsp;

However, another man-in-form - Rassie van der Dussen, stood out for the chasing team with his stupendous approach throughout the inning.&nbsp;

Rashid Khan provided Afghanistan with two big wickets, including Henrich Klassen’s, cleaning his off stump on just ten. David Miller showcased his skill, hitting a four and a six during this short stay at the crease, but got out caught &amp; bowled off Mohammad Nabi on 24.

As the chase got tensed in the end, Dussen and Andile Phehlukwayo kept their cool and went about their business calmly. Phehlukwayo’s brave cameo of 39* off 37, including three sixes, was enough for South Africa to cross the line with five wickets.

Afghanistan’s World Cup 2023 dream run ends with 5-wicket loss at hands of South Africa

South Africa cricket team announced its 15-member squad for the upcoming ODI World Cup on Tuesday (September 5) and there were no big surprises. The team led by Temba Bavuma has seen the inclusion of inexperienced pacer Gerald Coetzee as he makes the cut along with the likes of Quinton de Kock, Reeza Hendricks, Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram, David Miller, and Rassie van der Dussen who will form the backbone of the squad. Interestingly, there was no place for young batting sensation Dewald Brevis in the squad.

<h2>South Africa announce squad</h2>

The Proteas, set to make their ninth appearance at the ODI World Cup, went without too many surprises as they opted to keep the same core of players playing in recent times. Led by Bavuma in the World Cup, the team’s batting attack has seen the inclusion of experienced campaigners like De Kock, Hendricks, Klaasen, and others. On the flip side, the bowling department will be led by the likes of Kagiso Rabada and includes Anrich Nortje and Lungi Ngidi.

Interestingly, the pace attack also sees the inclusion of inexperienced Coetzee who has five wickets in two ODI Matches. He made his debut earlier in the year and has been on the radar of the selector's panel since. South Africa boasts outstanding spinners in Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi, who are well-equipped to excel in this role.

In an unfortunate news, young batting sensation Brevis saw his name trimmed out despite being in the squad for the Australia series. Brevis had been knocking on the doors of the national team ever since shining at the U-19 World Cup stage in 2022.
