T20 World Cup 2022

With this win, Australia moved to the second spot in Group 1 standings with five points in four matches. On the other hand, Ireland are in fourth spot with three points. Australia skipper Aaron Finch played an excellent knock of 63 from 44 deliveries to guide his team to a commanding total of 179/5 in 20 overs, after they were invited to bat first.

Kohli and his actor wife Anushka Sharma reacted strongly to the alleged breach, with the former India skipper posting a video on Instagram -- which was originally posted on another social media app by an unidentified user with a caption, 'King Kohli's hotel room' -- and saying, "I'm NOT okay with this kind of fanaticism and absolute invasion of privacy."

India ended up losing the game to South Africa who perched themselves on top of the Super 12 Group 2 league table displacing India after that victory. Both Ashwin and Axar were fielded in the game against the Netherlands on October 27 at the more spin-friendly Sydney Cricket Ground and played their part in the comprehensive victory for India by 56 runs.

The Proteas are now leading the group with five points from three matches despite their match against Zimbabwe being abandoned, while India are placed second on four points from three matches.

The ball went straight into the hands of Kohli but the former India captain ended up dropping it. It was one of the easiest catches and Kohli's drop left Ashwin shocked. Neither captain Rohit Sharma nor the fans could believe Kohli dropping the catch. The video of Ashwin's reaction has gone viral now on social media.

Suryakumar Yadav stood up to make a counter-attacking 68 off 40 balls and shared a stand of 52 for the sixth wicket with Dinesh Karthik, who contributed with only six runs in the partnership, as India made a decent 133/9 in 20 overs, which South Africa chased down with two balls to spare.

"We were watching the games that were played here (in Perth). Obviously it (using short balls) was risky but the variable bounce assisted us. We kept mid-off and mid-on up, which made us predictable but we backed ourselves," said Bavuma in the post-match presentation ceremony.

After Suryakumar Yadav slammed a brilliant counter-attacking 68 off 40 balls to help India post a decent 133/9 after Lungi Ngidi led a fine Proteas bowling performance with 4/29, Miller (59 not out off 46 balls) and Markram (52 off 41 balls) rescued South Africa from a shaky 24/3 with a 76-runs stand off 60 balls for the fourth wicket to complete the chase with two balls to spare.

Lungi Ngidi was brought into the Group 2 match in Super 12s of Men's T20 World Cup at Perth Stadium in place of left-arm wrist-spinner Tabraiz Shamsi to exploit the pace and bounce offered by the pitch, which was also pointed out by South Africa fast bowling legend Dale Steyn on-air.

On a pacy, bouncy pitch, where many batters were made to look ordinary as pacer Lungi Ngidi blew away the Indian top-order with hard lengths and extra bounce to pick 4/29 while Wayne Parnell took 3/15 in a superb Proteas bowling show, Suryakumar fought hard, hitting six fours and three sixes at a strike-rate of 170 to bring up his 11th T20I fifty.
