T20 World Cup co-hosts lose as South Africa ends India's winning run and
England beats Sri Lanka
AHMEDABAD, India (AP) --- South Africa stunned T20 World Cup defending champion
India with a 76-run victory on Sunday in the Super Eights with the tournament
co-host dismissed for 111.
It was a completely dominant performance from the Proteas, which lost to India
in the final of the 2024 edition.
India's 12-match winning run since the 2024 tournament came to an end as
left-arm pacer Marco Jansen took 4-22 in 3.5 overs.
India was bowled out for 111 runs in 18.5 overs after South Africa chose to bat
first and scored 187-7. David Miller hit 63 off 35 balls, with seven fours and
three sixes, in the Group 1 match at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Sunday proved to be a dismal day for both co-hosts at the T20 World Cup as Sri
Lanka crashed to a 51-run defeat to England in Pallekele.
Phil Salt anchored England to 146-9 in the Group 2 match with a resolute 62 off
40 balls and Jacks provided impetus to the total by smashing four boundaries in
his 21-run knock in the death overs.
Sri Lanka crumbled to 95 all out as offspinner Jacks picked up three wickets
inside the power play and earned England its 12th consecutive win in a T20
against the hosts.
