T20 World Cup: Miller, Brevis counterpunch prop up South Africa

After weathering the initial storm, South Africa made a clinical comeback by scoring at a brisk pace before the final push. They were 134 for the loss 4 wicket at the end of 14 overs.

Miller and Dewald Brevis were especially hard on Varun Chakravarthy. Shivam Dube, who finally got Brevis while he miscued a shot, was also found hit hard as he was tonked for 32 runs in two overs.  Between overs 7 and 14, South Africa scored 93 runs for the loss of one wicket.

Earlier,  Jaspreet Bumrah turned up and did what he does best as India took the early advantage in the second Super Eights match of the day. South Africa, batting first, were in a spot of bother after they were reduced to 41 for 3 in the Powerplay.

But the early exchanges belonged to India as Bumrah went for the kill early on. He drew the first blood in his first over, second of the innings.

After conceding a four off a full toss, Bumrah came back with a back-of-the-length delivery that pitched just outside off and nipped back in. de Kock missed it with a wild swing across the line, only to see his leg bail toppled.

Next in line was Ryan Rickelton. In the last ball of the fourth over, Bumrah bowled a slower ball on a length on the middle, completely foxing Rickelton. His leading edge was comfortably taken by Shivam Dube at midoff.

In between Arshadeep Singh removed South African Captain Aiden Markram for 4.
