T20 World Cup: South Africa inflict humiliating defeat on India in Super Eight clash

A disciplined bowling effort after David Miller's fiery half-century helped South Africa crush India by 76 runs in their Super Eight fit of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday.

The defeat marked India's first in the active 20-squad tournament and ended their 13-fit unbeaten streak in T20 World Cups since their gruelling 10-wicket defeat at the hands of England in the semi-ultimate of the 2022 edition.

In all ICC tournaments, yet, it was the first defeat for the Men in Blue in 18 matches, with their last setback dating back to the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 ultimate against Australia, which coincidentally came at the same venue.

Set to chase a daunting 188-operate objective, the home side could accumulate 111 before getting bowled out in 18.5 overs despite Shivam Dube's gutsy knock.

The all-rounder waged a lone battle for the home side and top-scored with a valiant 42-operate knock, still his efforts were insufficient for steering the defending champions to stretch their unbeaten streak to 14 matches in the T20 World Cups.
