Here are the match highlights

T20 World Cup 2022 India vs South Africa highlights:&nbsp;David Miller and Aiden Markram&rsquo;s outstanding effort powered South Africa to a 5-wicket win against India in a low-scoring thriller in Perth in their 3rd Group 2 match in the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/t20-world-cup/icc-t20-world-cup-2022-pakistan-vs-netherlands-highlights-men-in-green-keep-semifinals-hope-alive-1667128648810">T20 World Cup 2022</a>. It is after 11 years that Proteas defeated the Men in Blue in an ICC tournament, India last lost to South Africa in the 2011 World Cup. After winning the toss, Rohit Sharma opted to bat first. But the spirited South African pacers spoiled India's plans as they came down heavily on the starry line-up. Lungi Ngidi and Wayne Parnell wreaked havoc with their exceptional 4 &amp; 3-wicket haul respectively. After the skipper lost his wicket in the 5th over, India was quickly reduced to 49-5 within 9 overs. Suryakumar Yadav, however, held the fort and notched up a brilliant 68 off 40 and helped a sinking India to post a 134-run target. In reply, though, India were off to a flier as Arshdeep Singh picked 2 wickets in the 2nd over itself, a solid 76-run partnership between Aiden Markram and David Miller ensured the paltry target was achieved in 19.4 overs. A dropped catch by Virat Kohli, however, was another rued chance for India as Markram thereon scored a needed 52 off 41. Miller too, scored his half century as South Africa defeated India by 5-wickets to become the Group 2 table-leaders with 5 points 3 games.&nbsp;

After 2 important victories and having beaten the Proteas at home just before entering the marquee event, Rohit Sharma's men will be oozing confidence against South Africa.

Another blockbuster Sunday will be on the cards when Team India and South Africa lock horns in a much-anticipated Group 2 match in Perth at the T20 World Cup 2022.&nbsp;
On the back of two good victories and having beaten the Proteas at home just before entering the marquee event, Rohit Sharma's men will be oozing confidence against South Africa. With the skipper returning to form with a sublime 50 in India's previous game against the Netherlands and Virat Kohli imposing himself with back-to-back 50s, Team India has their batting sorted. The only concern, however, is KL Rahul who is yet to fire in the ongoing tournament. Batting Coach Vikram Rathour, on the eve of the South Africa game, backed the opener and said, 'KL Rahul cannot be dropped on the basis of 2 bad innings and every player has his own way of playing and constituting their innings. A good partnership is one where each one complements the other. If Rahul is in good form then he can also be the aggressor'
With Bhuvneshwar Kumar wreaking havoc with the new ball, Arshdeep Singh being the nemesis at the death, and Shami breaking partnerships in the middle so far, the Men in Blue look fear-inspiring. The team will now look to strengthen its top spot with a third straight win in the super 12s.&nbsp;
On the other hand are the Temba Bavuma-led Proteas, who could have had the same points in the table as India, but their chances were marred after rain spoiled their plans during the Zimbabwe game. They, however, registered a resounding 104-run win against Bangladesh to claim the 2nd spot on the points table. While a revitalised South Africa have an intimidating bowling lineup and in-form batters like Quinton de Kock and Rilee Rossouw, history still favours India.
In the 5 meetings in the T20 World Cup, the Men in Blue have won 4 and have lost only 1, that too, in 2009.&nbsp; 
IND vs SA: Perth Weather&nbsp;
According to Bureau of Meteorology website, there is just a 20% chance of any rain. As per the website, Perth would have partly cloudy skies with a 30% chance of a shower. &lsquo;Winds south to southwesterly 25 to 35 km/h becoming light in the late evening&rsquo;, the website stated
