Rohit Sharma-led India suffered their first loss of the ongoing T20 World Cup on Sunday. The team was defeated by South Africa by 5 wickets in a low-scoring Group 2 game. David Miller hit an unbeaten 59 off 46 balls and Aiden Markram scored 52 as the Proteas successfully chased down a 134-run target against India in Perth. It was Suryakumar Yadav's 68 off 40 balls that had helped India post 133 for 9 after skipper Rohit Sharma opted to bat first.
If India manage to win their remaining two games -- against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe -- they will easily qualify for the semi-final. However, a loss in any of those games will see India's fate dependent on the results of other matches in Group 2.
If India loses both their games, they will be knocked out of the competition.
