India suffered their second successive loss to hosts South Africa, going down meekly by eight wickets in the second women's T20I to trail 0-2 in the five-match series here on Sunday.

Asked to bat first, Shafali Verma smashed seven fours and two sixes on her way to a fluent 57 off 38 balls but the visitors failed to stitch together meaningful partnerships and could only post a modest 147.
