India vs South Africa: Fans were in awe of Dinesh Karthik's finishing abilities after the veteran wicketkeeper's quick 30-run cameo lifted India to 148 on a tricky Cuttack track.
Dinesh Karthik showcased his finishing skills with a 21-ball-30-run cameo to help India post 148 for six against South Africa after being put into bat in the second T20I of the five-match series on Sunday. Shreyas Iyer (40) was the top-scorer, while opener Ishan Kishan (34) and 'designated finisher' Karthik (30 not out) also chipped in to take India to a competitive score.
Anrich Nortje (2/36) was the most successful bowler for South Africa, who produced a clinical effort after winning the toss and opting to field. Kagiso Rabada (1/15), Wayne Parnell (1/23), Dwaine Pretorius (1/40) and Keshav Maharaj (1/12) were also among the wickets.
Dinesh Karthik's late flourish pushes #India's score to 148 for 6 in the second #T20I against #SouthAfrica at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack.
