India vs South Africa, 2nd Test Day 5: India Reeling at 71/5 as Harmer Spins a Web
Proteas inch toward historic series whitewash; Harmer’s four-wicket burst stuns hosts in Guwahati
Guwahati:
South Africa tightened their grip on the 2nd Test as India crashed to 71/5 on a tense final day, with spinner Simon Harmer wreaking havoc on a turning surface. What began as a hopeful chase quickly turned into a nightmare for the hosts, who now stare at the possibility of a historic series whitewash on home soil.
Harmer, bowling with relentless control and sharp turn, tore through India’s top order and claimed four crucial wickets, including the big dismissal of Rishabh Pant, leaving the hosts stunned and scrambling for stability.
India in Deep Trouble
With the ball gripping and bouncing unpredictably, Indian batters found themselves trapped between caution and survival.
After Pant’s exit, Ravindra Jadeja walked in to join Sai Sudharshan, who remains India’s only steady presence at the crease. The pair now carry the immense burden of resisting South Africa’s charge.
The Proteas bowlers, energized by Harmer’s brilliance, continue to apply pressure as India struggle to stitch meaningful partnerships.
South Africa Eye Rare Feat
A win here would hand South Africa a historic series whitewash in India, an achievement few visiting teams have ever come close to. With conditions turning sharply and India rapidly running out of wickets, the momentum is firmly with the visitors.
