India suffered a crushing 76-run defeat to South Africa in the Super Eights at the Narendra Modi Stadium, collapsing for 111 while chasing 188. Despite reducing South Africa to 20/3 early, India lost control in the middle overs as David Miller’s explosive 63 shifted momentum. A disastrous powerplay in the chase, a sluggish knock from Suryakumar Yadav, and poor middle-overs execution with both bat and ball exposed tactical flaws and lack of game awareness in a must-win clash.
