India won the second T20I of their three-match series against South Africa by 16 runs, giving the Guwahati hosts a 2-0 victory and sealing the series. A frightening incident occurred during the game after the seventh over of the first innings when a snake was discovered on the ground, in addition to the tension of the high-octane match. Before the focus changed to a snake that emerged on the big screen, the cameras showed the South African fielders and Indian openers turning their heads in a specific direction. The ground personnel rushed onto the field to escort the snake off the ground as it was followed by them.

David Miller of South Africa spoke about the event after the game and said that he "felt there was a lot going on there." The 33-year-old also discussed the power outage that stopped play in the middle of his team's innings. 

In the news conference following the game, he said, "It's out of our control. It kind of just gave us a little bit of time of process what happened. Gave us an opportunity to chat about in the powerplay after the first couple of overs went India's way. And then there was the issue with the snake as well. I thought there was a lot going on there."

After the match, winning captain Rohit praised his side and said, "All of us came together and said it was what we wanted to do as a team. It might not come across at times, but we want to stick to it. What I have seen in the last 8-10 months is individuals putting their hand up and getting the job done for the team. Guys without too much experience did this as well. The team wants to play and bowl in a certain way and we want to give them that confidence. Yes, we have not bowled well at the death in the last five or six games. We are doing the same to the opposition as well."
