India National Cricket Team Vs South Africa National Cricket Team Match Scorecard
The high-voltage clash between the India national cricket team and the South Africa national cricket team in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is delivering exactly what fans expected — power-hitting, momentum swings, and late-over drama.
📊 Live Match Situation
South Africa: 152/5 (15.5 overs)
SA batting first • 24 balls remaining
South Africa have already crossed the 150 mark and are accelerating toward what could be a 170+ total if the final overs go their way.
🔥 Batting Performance – South Africa
💥 David Miller – 63 (35)
- 7 fours
- 3 sixes
- Strike rate: 180
Miller has anchored and accelerated beautifully. He absorbed early pressure and then attacked the spinners and pace variations in the middle overs. His clean hitting down the ground has shifted the momentum firmly in South Africa’s favor.
⚡ Dewald Brevis – 45 (29)
- 3 fours
- 3 sixes
- Strike rate: 155.17
Brevis provided explosive support. His fearless approach against both seam and spin allowed Miller to play freely at the other end.
The partnership between Miller and Brevis is the key reason South Africa are in such a commanding position heading into the death overs.
🎯 India’s Bowling Analysis
🌀 Varun Chakravarthy – 4-0-47-1
Economy: 11.75
Varun picked up a wicket but was expensive. South Africa targeted him aggressively in the middle overs, disrupting India’s usual spin control phase.
India now face a crucial challenge:
- Restrict SA below 170
- Nail yorkers in the final 4 overs
- Avoid boundary leakage
If South Africa reach 175+, India’s chase becomes significantly tougher.
