NEW DELHI: Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav<\/a> vowed a stronger comeback after India suffered a crushing 76-run loss to South Africa in their Group 1 Super Eights clash of the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup.\u201cI feel we were always in the game when we started. I think we bowled really well in the beginning, 21 for 3, and the way they batted after that from 7 to 15, I think they batted really well, and then we came back again in the game later on. Overall, if we see, we bowled really well, but we could have batted a little better. My thing is sometimes you\u2019ve got to think, if you\u2019re chasing 180-185, you can\u2019t win the game in the powerplay, but you might lose the game in the powerplay. We lost too many wickets in the powerplay and then we couldn\u2019t have small, small partnerships which we wanted for chasing 180-185, but that\u2019s part of the game. We learn from it, we\u2019ll sit back and then come back stronger,\u201d Surya said after the match.<\/p>\n

Jay Shah: Kapil Dev deserves more credit for 1983 World Cup triumph<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

After winning the toss, South Africa posted 187\/7, powered by David Miller\u2019s 63 off 35 balls and Dewald Brevis\u2019 45 off 29 balls. The duo stitched a 97-run fourth-wicket partnership off just 51 balls. Marco Jansen (4\/22), Keshav Maharaj (3\/24), and Corbin Bosch (2\/12) also contributed with the ball, while Lungi Ngidi kept things tight with 4 overs for 15 runs.\u201cI think everyone knows their combination (Bumrah-Arshdeep) has been very lethal. Both of them have played together. If you see today also, both of them bowled eight overs, picked around five wickets and gave around 45-50 runs. If I\u2019m not wrong, I\u2019m not good with numbers. But they bowled really well in partnership and that\u2019s what we want from them. Both are experienced and it\u2019s good to have both of them in our side,\u201d Surya added.India\u2019s reply faltered from the start. Ishan Kishan fell for a duck to Markram, while Abhishek Sharma (15) and Tilak Varma (1) were dismissed in the powerplay. Shivam Dube top-scored with 42, and Hardik Pandya contributed 18, but India were bowled out for 111 in 18.5 overs.\u201cHopefully bat well, bowl well and field well (Talking about the plans for the next game vs Zimbabwe). That\u2019s it. We\u2019ll try and keep it simple, play the same brand of cricket which we want to play and nothing changes. I think we\u2019ll come back strong,\u201d Surya said.The loss, in front of 90,954 fans, is India\u2019s first ICC event defeat since the 2023 ODI World Cup final, leaving them needing wins against Zimbabwe and West Indies to stay in semi-final contention with a net run rate of -3.8.<\/div>\n\n
