India suffered their first loss in 13 T20 World Cup games after a disappointing 76-run drubbing to South Africa in their opening game of the Super 8s stage.
Jasprit Bumrah (3-15) became India's all-time leading wicket-taker in the tournament as two of his three wickets helped reduce South Africa to 20-3 after four overs, following their decision to bat first at the toss.
But the imperious David Miller (63 off 35 balls) bailed the Proteas out of trouble, as he propelled his team to a very defendable total of 187-7.
In reply, India limped to 51-5 in the 10th over, while spinner Keshav Maharaj (3-24) took three wickets in the 15th over alone to help consign the tournament hosts to an embarrassing defeat as they were bowled out for 111.
