GQEBERHA: An unbeaten 47 from Tristan Stubbs, and a 42-run partnership with Gerald Coetzee, saw South Africa haul themselves over the line for a three-wicket win over India in their Twenty20 international at St Georges Park on Sunday. South Africa scored 128-7 in 19 overs in reply to Indias 124-6 to level the four-match series at 1-1 in a dramatic finish after their top order were undone by India spinner Varun Chakravarthy, who took a career-best 5-17. Stubbs and Coetzee chased down a 40-run target in three overs of swashbuckling hitting at the death to rescue the result when it looked as if India would pull off an unlikely victory. The visitors had been put into bat and struggled to deal with South Africas seam attack, losing wickets cheaply before Hardik Pandyas unbeaten 39 gave them a total to try to defend. India opener Sanju Samson, who scored a sparkling century as the tourists beat South Africa by 61 runs in Durban on Friday, was bowled by Marco Jansen three balls into Sundays contest, while Abhishek Sharma and captain Suryakumar Yadav also departed early. Tilak Varma (20) and Axar Patel (27) made contributions to Indias total although South Africa would have been confident of chasing down the target when they came out to bat in reply. But their top order was undone by a masterful display of bowling from Varun, whose googly bamboozled the home batsmen and gave India the upper hand. He castled Aiden Markram (3), Reeza Hendricks (24) and Marco Jansen (7) before having the dangerous Heinrich Klaasen, who sliced a full delivery, caught by Rinku Singh at long-off. His next ball saw Varun deceive David Miller, bowled first ball, to reduce South Africa to 66-6. Stubbs kept up home hopes and when Coetzee joined him at the crease at 86-7, they set about pulling the hosts out of a desperate situation. Fast bowler Coetzee showed the way with 19 runs off nine balls in a display of lusty hitting that turned the momentum of the contest while Stubbs saw South Africa to victory with successive fours to finish with 47 off 41 balls. The next meeting between the two teams will be in Pretoria on Wednesday. S. Samson b Jansen 0 A. Sharma c Jansen b Coetzee 4 S. Yadav lbw b Simelane 4 T. Varma c Miller b Markram 20 A.
