South Africa didn’t bring their ‘A’ game with the bat, but they were outstanding with the ball and in the field here as they crushed India by 76 runs.

Despite the incandescence of Jasprit Bumrah, whose three for 15 was exceptional, the Proteas made the most of batting first by choice. Reduced to 20-3 after four overs, they rode on a boundary-filled 97-run alliance for the fourth wicket between David Miller and Dewald Brevis to post 187-7 in their opening World Cup Super Eights tie.
