South Africa defeated India by 76 runs in the Super 8, with David Miller scoring 63 off 35. The Proteas' strategy to neutralise Varun Chakravarthy proved decisive.

South Africa outclassed India in the Super 8, posting 187/7 before dismissing the hosts for 111. David Miller's 63 off 35 and Dewald Brevis' 45 off 29 powered the Proteas to a 76‑run victory.

Miller said the win hinged on clear thinking and disciplined execution, focusing on taking the mystery spinner down. “We made sure we were on it, putting the ball away when he bowled a bad delivery,” he told reporters, adding that sticking to basics and staying composed were key.
