🏏ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026: S 8 - M43: India vs South Afrika🏏 - Page 27

Stubbs's two sixes has given some serious momentum to this South Africa's batting effort and 187 is a very good score on a pitch which has a bit in it for the pacers. India started like a dream with the new-ball pair of Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh combining to reduce them to 20/3. In came David Miller and he immediately put the pressure back on India with some attacking cricket. Dewald Brevis joined him and the pair were involved in a 50-ball 97-run stand for the 4th wicket. But just as they looked destined to bat India out of the game, Bumrah came back and so did the support pack to pull things back nicely. Only 39 runs were conceded in the period between the 14th and the 19th over, but Hardik's 20-run 20th over boosted South Africa's score. Bumrah was outstanding, Varun Chakaravarthy had a rare off-day, but India are in for a tough run chase.

Sundar Pichai ko cricket match mein kya kaam

Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma are at the crease. Ishan Kishan is on strike. Aiden Markram will open the attack

We're back for the chase.. This is going to be a good chase - Abhishek Sharma has had 3 ducks, can he get going tonight? He and Ishan Kishan have their work cutout, up against a world-class Protea bowling line-up. They'll start with some off-spin and it's Aiden Markram

.indians can't play spin anymore

Ishaan out 0 😔 💔💔

In-form Ishan is out, India lost their first wicket!

0.4 Markram to Ishan, OUT

This goes a mile up, and Rickelton hangs on! Markram does the trick. Off-spin does the trick again, and India rocked early! Given a bit of air on a fullish length just outside off. Sticks in the surface a smidgen and Kishan hacks across it a little too much. Rickelton back-pedals from extra cover and consigns another India opener to a duck at this T20 World Cup!
