Crowd trouble stretched the game but South Africa finally prevailed by six wickets to take a winning 2-0 lead in the three-game Twenty20 series against India on Monday.

South Africa, who invited India to bat first on winning the toss, dismissed India for only 92 off 17.2 overs.

India’s second lowest score in T20s, after its 74 all out against Australia at Melbourne in 2008, led to the disappointed crowd throwing plastic bottles on to the ground.

It led to two interruptions of 20 and 25 minutes during South Africa’s chase.

South Africa, which won the first game at Dharamsala by seven wickets, eventually coasted to 96-4 in 17.1 overs with Jean-Paul Duminy 30 not out.

Earlier, seamer Albie Morkel grabbed three wickets for 12 runs in his four overs while leg-spinner Imran Tahir and seamer Chris Morris chipped in with two wickets each on a pitch of inconsistent bounce at the Barabati stadium.

Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina top-scored with 22 each as India were bowled out in 17.2 overs to record their second-lowest total in T20 internationals. They fell for 74 against Australia in 2008. Details
