South Africa handed tournament hosts India a crushing 76-run defeat, snapping their remarkable 13-game T20 World Cup win streak. The Proteas dominated their opening Super 8s match after restricting India to just 111 in reply to their competitive total of 187-7 at Ahmedabad.

David Miller starred with a blistering 63 off 35 balls, rescuing South Africa from a precarious 20-3 position. Jasprit Bumrah became India's all-time leading wicket-taker in the tournament with figures of 3-15, but spinner Keshav Maharaj proved decisive with 3-24 to dismantle the Indian lineup.

South Africa now control Super 8 Group 1 as India faces must-win matches against Zimbabwe and West Indies to keep their semi-final hopes alive. The hosts' batting collapse, losing five wickets in the first 10 overs, exposed vulnerabilities that their bowlers couldn't overcome despite an early breakthrough.
