India, 0 points, -3.800<\/p>\n
The loss against South Africa was India\u2019s first in 13 matches at the T20 World Cup. While India\u2019s top-order has not been firing on all-cylinders throughout the tournament, they had been lucky that one of the batters had stepped up and taken the game to the rivals.<\/p>\n
But on Sunday, none of the batters were able to find their footing, bar Shivam Dube whose 42 was too little too late for India. India have lost a wicket in the opening over in each of their last three matches \u2013 against Pakistan, Netherlands and South Africa.<\/p>\n
The silver lining for the co-hosts was the start provided by Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh, as they snapped the South African top three inside the Powerplay.<\/p>\n
With the defeat to the Proteas, pre-tournament favourites India now find themselves in a tricky situation. They will be looking to beat West Indies and Zimbabwe and have some control over their chances of making the knockouts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"India, 0 points, -3.800 The loss against South Africa was India\u2019s first in 13 matches at the T20…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":442767,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,67813,67811,16326,67828,103095,67833,67814,6518,67832,103093,67815,67810,103098,101,103094,103096,67812,56,54,55,103097],"class_list":["post-442766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-cricket-breaking-news","tag-cricket-headlines-today","tag-cricket-news","tag-cricket-series-updates","tag-cricket-world-cup-headlines","tag-cricket-world-cup-news","tag-cricket-world-news","tag-icc","tag-icc-cricket-updates","tag-icc-mens-t20-world-cup-news","tag-international-cricket-news","tag-latest-cricket-news","tag-latest-icc-announcements","tag-sports","tag-t20-world-cup-news-updates","tag-today-cricket-match-news","tag-today-cricket-news-update","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-world-cup-cricket-articles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442766","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=442766"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442766\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/442767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=442766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=442766"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=442766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
