After leading South Africa to a three-wicket win over India in a thrilling second T20I at St George’s Park, young batter Tristan Stubbs said the one thing which worked in his favour to ace the chase was the run-rate never becoming an uphill task. 

In a chase of 125, South Africa were in early trouble as Varun Chakaravarthy picked a sensational 5-17, his career-best figures in T20Is. But Stubbs timed his acceleration to perfection and hit seven boundaries in his vital 47 not out to give South Africa a thrilling win with an over to spare, as the hosts’ have now squared the four-match series 1-1.
