[South Africa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_cricket_team_in_India_in_2025%E2%80%9326)‘s innings is done. After David Miller’s blitz and Dewald Brevis’ firecracker 45, India’s death bowlers — led by an ice-cold **Jasprit Bumrah** — clawed back brilliantly. A pinpoint yorker to remove **Corbin Bosch** in over 19 sealed it. **South Africa finish 187/7**. India need **168** to remain unbeaten in this tournament. The chase begins now in the **india-vs-south-africa** Super 8 blockbuster at Ahmedabad. The projected score by SA will be 187.

## India’s Bowling Figures

## India vs South Africa How the Innings Unfolded

India’s **powerplay was flawless** — Bumrah bowled de Kock, Arshdeep dismissed Markram for 4, and Bumrah returned to fool Rickelton with a slower ball. SA were 41/3 after 6. A perfect start.

Then came the storm. **Miller and Brevis** — the most dangerous partnership in this tournament — dismantled India’s spinners over 97 runs together. Varun went for 47, Sundar leaked runs, and a Pandya no-ball gift gave Miller a free-hit six. SA cruised past 100, then 130, with 180+ looming.

SKY’s bold call to give Dube the ball in over 13 broke the stand — Brevis mis-hit for 45, caught by Abhishek. Miller soldiered on, reaching **50 off 26 balls** before Varun finally got his redemption in over 16 — caught by Tilak at long-off for a stunning **63 off 35 balls**.

Bumrah then throttled SA in over 17 — just 2 runs — before a **blockhole yorker** removed Bosch in over 19. Arshdeep had already taken care of Jansen, with Rinku holding a clean catch in the deep. India restricted SA to 187 — a total that felt impossible mid-innings.

**India need 168 to win** — and with Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, SKY and Hardik in the lineup, they absolutely have the firepower. But Abhishek Sharma’s **zero runs in 3 T20 WC matches** remains India’s one burning question heading into the chase.
