IND vs SA T20 World Cup 2022: What happened the last time India and South Africa met in a T20I?
The Men in Blue and South Africa last met in a T20I as recently as October 4 in the third game of the three-match series in India. It was a dead rubber as the hosts had already clinched the series by winning the first two matches. However, the Proteas came up with a clinical performance to register a comprehensive 49-run win.
India bowled first after winning the toss. South Africa lost their out-of-form skipper Temba Bavuma cheaply. Umesh Yadav dismissed him for three off eight balls. However, Rilee Rossouw (100* off 48) and Quinton de Kock (68 off 43) featured in a superb 90-run second-wicket stand to lift the visitors.
The partnership was broken when De Kock was run-out at the start of the 13th over. The keeper-batter struck six fours and four sixes in his half-century. Rossouw, on the other hand, returned unconquered, having hit seven fours and eight sixes. Tristan Stubbs contributed 23 off 18, while David Miller slammed an unbeaten 19 off 5 as South Africa posted a mammoth 227/3.
In response, Team India were all-out for 178. Dinesh Karthik top-scored for the hosts with 46 off 21 balls, while Deepak Chahar contributed 31 off 17. However, the early dismissals of skipper Rohit Sharma (0), Shreyas Iyer (one) and Suryakumar Yadav (eight) hurt India.
For South Africa, pacer Dwaine Pretorius starred with 3/26, while Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi and Wayne Parnell all chipped in with two wickets each.
