India will lock horns with South Africa in their third Super 12 clash of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 on Sunday, October 30. Rohit Sharma and Co. are on a roll in this edition of the showpiece event, having beaten Pakistan and the Netherlands already in the first two matches.
Rohit Sharma (53), Suryakumar Yadav (51*), and Virat Kohli (62*) scored individual fifties as the Men in Blue posted 179/2 in 20 overs in their last game against the Netherlands. In response, the Netherlands never really got going against a star-studded Indian bowling attack.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, and Ravichandran Ashwin picked up two wickets each as India thrashed the Dutch by 56 runs.
South Africa, on the other hand, were unlucky not to bag two points as rain played spoilsport in their first game against Zimbabwe. However, they bounced back in some style to beat Bangladesh by 104 runs.
Riding on Rilee Rossouw‘s century, the Proteas posted 205 runs on the board before bowling out the Bangla Tigers for 101 runs. They will hope to keep the winning momentum going against India.
