Miller and Markram’s half-centuries helped South Africa beat India by 5 wickets in a Group 2 match of Super 12s in the Men’s T20 World Cup at Perth Stadium on Sunday. Meanwhile, Arshdeep Singh dented South Africa’s start with two wickets in one over.
Earlier, Suryakumar Yadav slammed a brilliant counter-attacking 68 off 40 balls to help India post a decent 133/9 against South Africa.
On a pacy, bouncy pitch, where many batters were made to look ordinary as pacer Lungi Ngidi blew away the Indian top-order with hard lengths and extra bounce to pick 4/29 while Wayne Parnell took 3/15 in a superb Proteas bowling show, Suryakumar fought hard, hitting six fours and three sixes at a strike-rate of 170 to bring up his 11th T20I fifty.
Brief Scores: India 133/9 in 20 overs (Suryakumar Yadav 68; Lungi Ngidi 4/29, Wayne Parnell 3/15). South Africa 137/5 in 19.4 overs (Aiden Markram 52, David Miller 59; Arshdeep Singh 2/25)
Lungi Ngidi was adjudged Player of the match for his figures of 4/29 in four overs.
