South Africa beat India by six wickets in the second Twenty20 international at SuperSport Park on Wednesday.

For the second time in his short career, Heinrich Klaasen halted India&#39;s cricketing juggernaut.

Klaasen slammed seven sixes in hitting 69 off 30 balls as South Africa chased down a target of 189 with eight balls to spare.

South Africa were jolted early by India pacers and were reduced to 2/38 before Klaasen and Duminy put on a 93-run stand for the third wicket.

The win squared the three-match series, taking it to a decider in Cape Town on Saturday.
