#South Africa's batting falls short

South Africa's stand-in skipper JP Duminy led from the front hitting an unbeaten 64 off 40 balls as South Africa chased down 189 in the 19th over to draw level in the T20I series at Centurion on Wednesday.
And once again, Duminy (55) was the one who led the hosts to 109 inside 16 overs, while wickets kept falling regularly at the other end.
Chasing 173 to win, South Africa suffered an early setback when they lost opener Reeza Hendricks early but the partnership between Duminy and David Miller looked promising.
Miller (24) was soon dismissed by Suresh Raina and Heinrich Klassen (7) couldn't produce anything exceptional this time.
Debutant Christiaan Jonker played an incredible knock of 49 but eventually, the hosts fell short by 7 runs.
