The indian team did a bad fielding in the t20 world cup match against South Africa. After winning the toss and batting first, the indian team scored 133 runs for the loss of 9 wickets at the end of 20 overs. Suryakumar added 68 runs off 40 balls. Other players lost in the batting. The South African team, which entered the field with the target of winning if they score 134 runs, lost 2 wickets out of 3 runs and stumbled.
Arshdeep bowled quinton de kock for 1 run and Rousseau ducked out, Bavuma was out for 10 runs. After this, the duo of Aiden Markram and David Miller played calmly together and added runs. They scored only 43 runs after losing 3 wickets in 10 overs. Following this, the South African players started to play aggressively and add runs. Then hardik pandya bowled in the 11th over. The South African players took advantage of this and scored 16 runs. Following this, Ashwin bowled the 12th over.
This is where the big tv show took place. Aiden Markram tries to hit the ball bowled by Ashwin. Then the ball went straight to Virat Kohli. But as the ball went out of Virat Kohli's hand, he missed the catch. This was a major turning point in the game. Following this, mohammed shami bowled brilliantly in the next over and controlled the runs. Then Miller hit and ran away. Catching this, rohit sharma misses the opportunity to target the stumps and miss the chance to run out. Taking advantage of these two opportunities, Miller and Markram played aggressively.
Markram was dismissed after scoring 52 runs off 41 balls. 25 runs are needed in the last 3 overs. Then Ashwin hit 2 sixes in 2 balls and it turned in favor of South Africa. However, Ashwin took the wicket of Stubbs in that over. With 12 runs needed from 12 balls, mohammed shami conceded only 6 runs in that over and needed 6 runs to win in the last over. In this, Bhuvneshwar Kumar's shot hit Miller for a boundary and the South African team won with 2 balls to spare. Poor fielding is seen as the main reason for India's defeat.
