T20 World Cup: South Africa secure thrilling win over India

South Africa defeated India in the Men's T20 World Cup to move to the top of the group.

Lungi Ngidi was part of a fine Proteas bowling display that restricted India to 133-9.

David Miller's 59 from 46 balls was enough for South Africa to get the win.

India suffered their first defeat of the tournament, as they lost to Australia in Perth.

Miller and Markram put on 76 for the fourth wicket to help South Africa get back in the game.

In the middle overs, Markram hit 52 from 41 balls, though he was dropped on 35 and survived a run out chance.

Markram fell in the 16th over but Miller kept his cool to see South Africa home.

Bangladesh moved into the top two with a win over Zimbabwe.

Pakistan defeated the Netherlands in the second game to eliminate them from the competition. They need to win against Bangladesh and South Africa to have a chance.

South Africa's pace bowlers excel

It was a statement victory by South Africa against India.

The Proteas secured back-to-back victories after their opening match against Zimbabwe was rained out.

Their fearsome seam attack exploited a fast and bouncy pitch in Perth to blast through the India top order, with a disciplined performance in the middle overs and some excellent fielding helping to set the platform for victory.

After winning the toss and batting, India crumbled to 33-2 after the powerplay, with the openers falling in the space of 4 balls.

After being dismissed for the first time in the tournament, Kohli was replaced by Anrich Nortje, before Hooda was dismissed for the first time in the tournament.

India were reeling at 49-5 when Kagiso Rabada took a superb diving catch to remove Hardik Pandya for two.

One of the biggest dreams of the player is to help his country win a game at the World Cup.

I'm going to savor this one.

Suryakumar smashed six fours and four sixes to launch a counter- attack, but kept running out of partners, with the next highest scorer with 15.

Miller said that their bowling was scary. "We've got a great attack and I was at deep square and sweeper so I was able to see the side view, which was pretty cool to watch."

It was important to put in a good performance.

India fumble chances to win

The ball dragged India back into the game.

In the second over of the reply, Arshdeep Singh removed De Kock and Rilee Rossouw, both of whom had hit centuries in their previous two T20 matches.

Temba Bavuma's poor form with the bat continued when he tried a ramp shot off Mohammed Shami and fell to the keeper.

The match turned on two key moments as South Africa looked to accelerate after they were 40-3 at the halfway stage.

Markram was well short of his ground when Rohit missed the stumps with a throw.

Markram, who hit six fours and one six, eventually holed out to Suryakumar off Hardik, but the runs he added after his reprieves proved crucial, with Miller then having the platform to kick on and win the game.

India's skipper said that they were not good enough. It's not an excuse that the cold is not an excuse.

We didn't hold our chances and missed a few run outs, but we were pretty good on the field and we want to continue to be consistent in that area.
