T20 World Cup 2022: Top 10 funny memes after South Africa beat India to hurt Pakistan's semi-final chances

Pakistan's semi-final chances took a severe hit as Team India suffered a five-wicket loss at the hands of South Africa in their third Super 12 clash at the T20 World Cup on Sunday, October 30, in Perth. Courtesy of the victory, the Proteas are now atop the standings in Group 2.

David Miller (59) and Aiden Markram (52) hit half-centuries under pressure and played a starring role for South Africa during a tricky chase but benefited from drop catches and missed run-out chances. Lungi Ngidi won the Player of the Match award for his stellar four-wicket spell.

Team India batted first and managed to post 133/9 after coping with a top-order collapse. Suryakumar Yadav hit a superlative half-century in hostile bowling conditions and single-handedly took India to a decent total with his counter-attacking knock.

Rohit Sharma (15) and Virat Kohli (12) were the only other batters to reach double-figure scores. Speaking after the conclusion of the match, Rohit reflected on the loss and said:

"We expected the pitch will have something in it with the weather around and the wind blowing across. There was help for the seamers. We saw that 130 wasn't an easy target to chase but eventually we fell short with the bat.

"I thought we fought well until the end but South Africa were better today. When you get that score you always think you're in the game because the pitch could come in help any time for the seamers. But that was a massive partnership between Markram and Miller."
