T20 WC: David Miller, Markram help South Africa beat India by five wickets in low-scoring thriller

Perth: David Miller smashed unbeaten 59 and Aiden Markram hit (52) as South Africa defeated India by five wickets in Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup here on Sunday.

South African bowlers first restricted Indians at 133 for the loss of nine wickets and then reached 137 runs by losing just five wickets.

India made a strong start by picking up three quick wickets of  Quinton de Kock (1), Rilee Rossouw (0) and Temba Bavuma (10).

Markram and Miller stabilised the innings and moved forward towards the winning target.

Hardik Pandya provided Indian team a slight hope by dismissing Markram but Miller did not give any chance to the opponent to bounce back and kept scoring runs at the other end of the wicket.

R Ashwin was smashed for two sixes by Miller which clearly took the match away from India.

Ashwin picked up the wicket of Tristan Stubbs (6) but by that time things had nearly moved away from the hands of India.

Miller finished the game in the last over of the match which was bowled by Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

 Indian batsmen struggled and Suryakumar Yadav (68) remained the only shining spot as the 'Men in Blue' scored 133 runs for the loss of nine wickets in a Super 12 stage clash of the T20 World Cup against South Africa on Sunday.

India made a strong start with KL Rahul (9) and Rohit Sharma (15) adding some quick runs before departing.

Virat Kohli, who hammered unbeaten 82 runs against Pakistan and remained the key attraction of the high-voltage game, contributed just 12 runs with the willow.

Yadav held the fort strong at the other end when Indians kept losing wickets at regular intervals and contributed 68 much needed runs.

He hit six boundaries and three sixes in his knock.

Earlier, skipper Sharma won the toss and opted to bat first.

Lungi Ngidi picked up  four wickets and Wayne Parnell took three wickets to destroy the Indian batting lineup.

India had defeated Pakistan and Netherlands in the last two matches.
