India placed second in Group 2 points table of the T20 World Cup 2022
India's campaign started on a brilliant note as they trumped arch-rivals Pakistan in a last-ball thriller to win their opening encounter by four wickets. The side continued their impressive form against the Netherlands, securing a comprehensive 56-run victory.
However, their winning streak ended on Sunday, October 30. India suffered their maiden defeat in the ongoing showpiece event as South Africa beat them by five wickets in a low-scoring encounter at the Perth Stadium.
India's batting let them down in the fixture, with the team finishing at 133/9 in 20 overs after electing to bat first against the Proteas. Suryakumar Yadav was the lone warrior for the side with his 68-run knock.
The Proteas chased down the total comfortably in the end thanks to David Miller and Aiden Markram's batting exploits. Both batters slammed fine half-centuries in the contest to help their side clinch victory in the crucial tie.
Following the loss, India find themselves in second place in the Group 2 points table, right behind South Africa. They have four points in their bag after their first three matches in the T20 World Cup 2022.
