South Africa produced a clinical all-round display to outplay India in front of 90,954 fans. Despite being reduced to 20\/3 inside four overs, the Proteas rebuilt through David Miller (63 off 35 balls) and Dewald Brevis (45), whose 97-run stand steadied the innings. A late flourish from Stubbs powered them to a competitive 187\/7.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India\u2019s reply never found rhythm. Early wickets derailed the chase as they slipped to 51\/5 within the first 10 overs. Shivam Dube\u2019s fighting 42 briefly raised hopes, but disciplined bowling from Marco Jansen (4-22), Keshav Maharaj (3-24) and Corbin Bosch ensured the asking rate spiralled beyond reach. India were eventually bowled out for 111 in 18.5 overs, bringing an end to their 12-match winning streak in T20 World Cups.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
