Heinrich Klaasen hammered a match-winning 81 runs off just 46 balls as South Africa beat India by four wickets to take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series at Cuttack here on Sunday. Klaasen hammered seven fours and five sixes as the Indian bowlers seemed clueless against him. India pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar took 4-13 off his four overs.

Earlier, the Indian batters found it tough to get going against a tight bowling display from South Africa to be restricted to a modest 148 for 6 on a tacky Barabati track here. Shreyas Iyer (40) was the top-scorer for India while Ishan Kishan provided some early sparks (21-ball 34) but the hosts lost the momentum in the middle-overs on a two-paced track.
