Overview
- South Africa posted 187/7 through David Miller’s 63, Dewald Brevis’s 45 and Tristan Stubbs’s 44, before bowling India out for 111 in 18.5 overs with Shivam Dube top-scoring on 42.
- Marco Jansen took 4-22 and Keshav Maharaj 3-24, with Corbin Bosch adding 2-12 after Aiden Markram’s off-spin removed Ishan Kishan to spark India’s slide.
- India’s top order misfired again as Kishan fell for 0, Tilak Varma for 1 and Abhishek Sharma for 15, compounding recurring batting issues from the group stage.
- Jasprit Bumrah’s 3-15 and Arshdeep Singh’s 2-28 reduced South Africa to 20-3 before a 97-run Miller–Brevis stand and Stubbs’s late blows rebuilt the innings.
- ICC pre-tournament seedings grouped multiple group winners in this pool, heightening early Super Eight jeopardy and leaving India with a damaged net run rate and minimal margin for error.
