It was a battle of two unbeaten teams ICC T20 World Cup 2022 When Rohit Sharma’s Team India faced Temba Bavuma’s South Africa at the Perth Stadium on Sunday. India suffered a five-wicket defeat in a low-scoring thriller. This changed the dynamics of the points table as South Africa have now moved to the top of the points table with 5 points under their belt in 3 matches played with 2 wins and one result. India is at the second position with 4 points and a net run-rate of +0.844. Bangladesh’s situation is similar to that of India, but after the loss in the first game, their NRR has made a big difference. Zimbabwe is at the fourth position followed by Pakistan and Netherlands.
Earlier on Sunday, Pakistann won against the Netherlands to keep their semi-final hopes alive. On the back of a brilliant bowling performance, Pakistan restricted the Netherlands to 91/9 and then scored for the loss of four wickets to win their first T20 World Cup. Chasing a total, opener Mohammad Rizwan started with a brilliant shot on the field. It was not so much luck for his teammate and captain Babar Azam, as he was run out for four. According to the ICC, this is the first time in his T20 career that Babar has been dismissed for less than 10 three times in a row.
