Proteas suffer an embarrassing defeat against India in their top-of-the-table-clash.
South Africa suffered an embarrassing defeat against India in their top-of-the-table clash at the Cricket World Cup, losing by 243 runs in Kolkata, India. India won the toss and batted first, scoring 326 for five before bowling the Proteas out for just 83 runs, their lowest-ever score in World Cup cricket.A combination of poor bowling and excellent batting allowed India to post 61 without loss after just five overs.
The Proteas managed to bring down the run rate after that, but Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer always looked like they were in complete control as they paced the innings to perfection. All five of the Proteas frontline bowlers took a wicket, but the Indian batting attack was especially severe on Marco Jansen who conceded 94 runs in nine overs and four balls. Kohli finished on 101 not out.
