India vs South Africa Highlights T20 World Cup 2022: SA Win By 5 Wickets

Well, that's it from our coverage of IND vs SA fixture in Perth. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. Till then, its goodbye!

Lungi Ngidi has been adjudged 'Player of the Match' for his stunning spell of 4/29 in 4 overs.

Phew! WHAT A GAME!

With SA being 40/3 after 10 overs, it looked like India had the upper hand. But, a calculative assault by Aiden Markram and David Miller- especially against Ashwin- and poor fielding and catching from the Indians, ensured that SA clawed their way back in the game before Miller finished off in style. This is South Africa's 1st win over India in T20 World Cups since 2009, and it takes them to the top of the table

AND MILLER FINISHES IT OFF IN STYLE!

With 5 needed off last 4, the southpaw smashes Bhuvneshwar for two consecutive 4s to seal a memorable win for the Proteas.

Right then, 6 needed off the last over.

Miller brings up a well-deserved 50 as he cuts Shami for a boundary to reduce the equation to 8 off last 10.

Ashwin gets rid off Tristan Stubbs, trapping him in front. Another twist?

BANG BANG GOES MILLER!

David Miller smashes Ashwin for consecutive sixes in the 18th over to reduce the equation to 12 off 14

Right, 3 overs to go and SA need 25 runs. India need wickets here and in a heap.

Markram finally departs for a 41-ball 52 as India finally catch something. Markram went over the slog off Pandya over mid-wicket, but fails to get it past SKY. Brilliant knock from the right-hander though as SA need just 34 off 26.

Markram brings up a well-deserved 50 off just 38 deliveries. SA need 39 off last 5 overs.

BIG MOMENT in the game as Virat Kohli drops Aiden Markram at deep midwicket.

END OF 10 OVERS and SA are 40/3 with Aiden Markam and David Miller in the middle. Markam- 23 off 25- has looked the best batsmen from the Proteas set-up so far. Miller has so far managed 5 off 15 deliveries, and the upcoming 5 overs could well decide the course of this game.

MILLER SURVIVES

The southpaw gets hit on his back pad by Shami in the 8th over but a thin inside edge saves him. India lose a review.

END OF THE POWERPLAY: SA 24/3

Top-class bowling from Indian new-ball seamers, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and, especially Arshdeep Singh, who knocked over Quinton de Kock and Rilee Rossouw in his 1st over.Bhuvi may not have got wickets but he has been exceptional with his line and lengths, especially against Temba Bavuma, who looked all at sea. Mohammed Shami then chipped in to dismiss Bavuma after the Proteas captain, in an attempt to scoop, ended up edging it to DK.

SHAMI strikes in his 1st over as Temba Bavuma, in an attempt to scoop him, ends up edging it to the keeper.

END OF THE INNINGS- India finish at 133/9, thanks to Suryakumar Yadav's magical 68 off 40 deliveries. On a wicket, where the Proteas pacers were too hot to handle for the Indians, SKY saved the Men in Blue from the blemishes, eventually giving them something to bowl at. India were rocked very early in their run-chase, thanks to Lungi Ngidi, who took out 4 out of India's 5 batters. At 49/5, it looked like India would fail to get to the 100-run mark, but Suryakumar showcased his class to the hilt. However, he did not get any support from the other end as DK struggled against both pace and spin. He eventually perished to Wayne Parnell in the 19th over in an attempt to up the ante. For South Africa, apart from Ngidi. Wayne Parnell was exceptional. The southpaw claimed3 3 wickets in his 4 overs and gave away just 15 runs.

END OF 10 OVERS AND INDIA ARE 60/5.

Virat Kohli smashes a couple of 4s off Ngidi, but the tall pacer has the last laugh as Kohli top-edges an attempted pull shot, and holes out at deep fine leg. India in huge strife at 41/3.

END OF THE POWERPLAY, and its fair to say that South Africa have won it fair and square.

Rohit Sharma looked good for a while, but the pace and bounce of the wicket proved to be his undoing as he top-edged an attempted pull off Ngidi.

IND vs SA Live Score: Here's what Temba Bavuma said-

''Big game for us. We obviously had a good start to the tournament albeit having only got one result. Coming up against India, gives us a good chance to test ourselves against a formidable outfit. Probably would have batted first. The ball might swing a bit under the lights. We want to restrict them and try to put them under pressure with some wickets upfront. (Conditions) A lot more similar to what we're accustomed to. We believe we have the resources with the ball to make the most of these conditions. One change. Shamsi misses out, Lungi Ngidi comes in''

IND vs SA Live Score: Here's a look at what Rohit Sharma and Temba Bavuma said at the toss.

Rohit Sharma- ''We're going to bat first. No reason - it's a good surface. We know what to expect from this pitch. There have been a few games played here and we know what needs to be done. (The preparation at Perth initially would have helped?) We were just across the stadium at WACA. It was a good prep for us, just getting used to the bounce for the batters, what shots to play and for the bowlers it was about what lengths to hit. It's an important game from where the tournament stands. We just want to come out here and do what we've been doing in the last few games. Just follow your routine, trust your instincts and stay calm. One change - Axar misses out, Deepak Hooda comes in''
