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.
