With the exception of Suryakumar Yadav, India failed the pace trial against South Africa in Perth, suffering their first loss in the T20 World Cup 2022. Suryakumar Yadav smashed 68 off 40 deliveries, but the total of 133 was never going to be enough against a powerhouse South African team.
Despite a brave effort from the Indian pacers in the first half of the innings, South Africa chased down the total with two deliveries and five wickets to spare.
Aiden Markram struck six boundaries and a six for his 41-ball 52 as he took on the responsibility of increasing the scoring rate, while David Miller kept his cool and remained unbeaten on 56 to help the Proteas over the finish line.
Miller was on five of his first fifteen balls, but the seasoned campaigner, who has a tendency of closing games for South Africa and Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League, did not panic. Miller eventually reached his fifty in just 40 balls after attacking off-spinner R Ashwin, winning the game of match-ups against India.
For India, Mohammed Shami bowled a magnificent penultimate over to put South Africa under pressure. The match came down to the last over, but David Miller looked confident and delivered, maintaining unbeaten in 56 as he hit the winning runs in the fourth delivery, breaking India's hearts.

Arshdeep Singh to de Kock, out Caught by Rahul!! Babar last Sunday, de Kock this Sunday. Arshdeep has made it a habit of picking big wickets off his first ball. India needed that boost. Full and swinging away, de Kock drives without moving his feet and the outside edge flies to second slip, carries at a nice height and Rahul turns to his left to pouch it safely. de Kock c Rahul b Arshdeep Singh 1(3)
Arshdeep Singh to Rossouw, out Lbw!! What a review! Full marks for Karthik and Rohit. This is a massive wicket. The centurion from the previous game has been sent back for a duck. Rossouw lbw b Arshdeep Singh 0(2)
SA 7/2 (2)

India won't be replacing KL Rahul with Rishabh Pant at the top. It was confirmed yesterday. The team conversation with Pant is to "be ready as a chance can come anytime" and "opportunity can arrive any moment." Pant might come in as replacement for veteran wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik. However, India are not too keen to make changes in a side on a winning run.
"Yes, we back ourselves. We see ourselves as one of the best pace attacks there is. I think we're definitely going to back ourselves," star South African pacer Anrich Nortje said on eve of the IND vs SA game.
India will take on South Africa at the Optus Stadium in Perth. It has been raining for the previous three days, however, suitable conditions are expected for the match. As per the meteorology department, Perth will see an overcast evening and there won't be any rain throughout the game.
Perth pitch could be flatter, though pace bowlers can expect some assistance from the deck later on in the game. It is generally regarded as a batting-friendly surface, and the same is expected for this match as well. This track provides little assistance to the spinners.
