South Africa kept a lid on the explosive, and deep running, Indian batting line up. Dube, who had brought the fireworks during…
South Africa ended India’s 12-match winning streak at the T20 World Cup with a crushing 76-run win in Ahmedabad on Sunday in the opening Group 1 Super Eights match. After a counter-attacking 63 by David Miller and some late hitting from Tristan Stubbs took South Africa to 187-7, the defending champions were all out for 111 in 18.5 overs, failing badly in their first chase of the tournament. Left-arm quick Marco Jansen finished with 4-22, while left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj took 3-24 as the South African bowlers exposed India’s fragile batting line-up. “Great performance. Very different type of wicket to…

India suffered their first loss in 13 T20 World Cup games after a disappointing 76-run drubbing to South Africa in their opening game of the Super 8s stage. Jasprit Bumrah (3-15) became India’s all-time leading wicket-taker in the tournament as two of his three wickets helped reduce South Africa to 20-3 after four overs, following their decision to bat first at the toss. But the imperious David Miller (63 off 35 balls) bailed the Proteas out of trouble, as he propelled his team to a very defendable total of 187-7. In reply, India limped to 51-5 in the 10th over,…

It is also one England cricket supporters might be belting out as their team’s T20 dominance of Sri Lanka continued with a rout of a World Cup victory in Pallekele on Sunday. England have now won their last 12 T20 internationals against this opponent, including when they swept them 3-0 in a pre-World Cup bilateral series, also in Pallekele. Not since a game at The Kia Oval in May 2014 have Sri…
