On 30 October 2022, team India took on South Africa in Perth in the ongoing 20-20 World Cup. India came off to this encounter after defeating Pakistan and the Netherlands respectively. On the other hand, the Proteas came off after winning against Bangladesh by a huge margin. So, fans were hoping to see a better performance once again from the Men in Blue.

Speaking of the match, Rohit Sharma won the toss and choose to bat first. For India, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul came out to open the innings. But, again those openers went early as Lungi Ngidi took two wickets early.

Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli missed easy chances while fielding against the Proteas

While batting first, India scored 133 runs for nine wickets in 20 overs. Only Suryakumar Yadav scored 68 runs off 40 balls, at a strike rate of 170. He also hit six fours and three sixes in his innings. Apart from him, no batters managed to hit a good knock against South Africa. Virat Kohli scored 12 runs off 11 balls, including two fours. While, Rohit Sharma scored 15 runs off 14 balls, including one six and one four. For the Proteas, Lungi Ngidi took four wickets for 29 runs in his four overs. Along with him, Wayne Parnell also grabbed three wickets for 15 runs in his four overs.

But, Indian bowlers started also well as they broke the top-order batting of the Proteas. Arshdeep Singh managed to take early wickets. In 10 overs, South Africa reached 40 runs for three wickets. But, during the 12th and 13th over of the match, both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli got involved with some misfielding opportunities. Virat missed an easy catch while Ashwin was bowling the 12th over. In the next over, Rohit Sharma missed an easy run-out chance while Shami was bowling. Seeing such poor efforts from these players, Pakistani fans looked not happy. They came out and shared their views as India’s loss will hurt Pakistan’s chances of getting into the semi-finals.
