IND Vs SA, 2nd T20I: David Miller Pulls Off Blinder To Send Tilak Varma Back To The Hut | WATCH

David Miller's fielding brilliance prevented Tilak Varma from causing further damage.

South Africa continued their dominance over India in the T20I series, securing a comfortable seven-wicket victory in the second match in Guwahati on Sunday.

The Proteas chased down India's below-par total of 149 with relative ease, reaching the target with eight balls to spare.

Miller's brilliance in the field

One of the highlights of the match was a stunning fielding effort from David Miller to dismiss Tilak Varma.

Varma, who had just hit a boundary off the previous delivery, was looking to up the ante and take India to a competitive total.

However, Miller had other ideas. The South African all-rounder, positioned at deep mid-wicket, timed his jump to perfection and plucked the ball out of the air with a stunning one-handed catch.

Varma was sent back to the pavilion for 26 off 21 deliveries, and his dismissal proved to be a turning point in the match.

The catch effectively ended India's hopes of posting a challenging total, and South Africa went on to secure a comfortable victory.

India's batting woes continue

India's batting woes continued in the second T20I, as they failed to build any substantial partnerships and were restricted to a below-par total.

Only Suryakumar Yadav (34 off 31) and KL Rahul (28 off 22) made significant contributions, while the rest of the batting lineup failed to fire.

India's middle order, in particular, has been a major concern, with the likes of Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, and Dinesh Karthik failing to deliver consistently.

South Africa's clinical performance

In contrast to India's struggles with the bat, South Africa's batting lineup looked in complete control throughout their chase.

Reeza Hendricks (43 off 31) and Quinton de Kock (34 off 29) provided a solid start, while Aiden Markram (25 off 18) and Tristan Stubbs (23 off 18) played cameos to keep the momentum going.

David Miller finished the job with an unbeaten 20 off 16 deliveries, guiding South Africa to a comfortable victory.

Conclusion

South Africa's victory in the second T20I has given them an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

India, on the other hand, will need to address their batting concerns if they want to avoid a series whitewash in the final match in Indore on Tuesday.
