Morkel was the destroyer in chief as India were bundled out for 92

Already 1-0 down in the series, India were sent into bat by South Africa, who won the toss in the second T20I at Cuttack. India knew that they needed a good score on the board if they are to have any chance of coming back to level the series.

Unfortunately, not only did they not get a good score, they were bundled out for under 100 for only the second time in T20Is (at the time). Although the top-order got starts, a middle-order collapse meant that they were bowled out in 17.2 overs, which still remains the record for the fewest balls in which they were dismissed in a T20I.

Chasing 93, South Africa took their own sweet time before finally putting India out of their misery as they won by six wickets with 17 balls to spare.

Brief scores: India 92 all out in 17.2 overs (Suresh Raina 22, Albie Morkel 3/12) lost to South Africa 96/4 in 17.1 overs (JP Duminy 30*)
