NEW DELHI: Former South Africa captain Shaun Pollock gave his analysis of India's Super 8 stage loss to the Proteas and stated that the co-host didn't adapt well to the conditions in Ahmedabad and failed to realise the "new ball challenge with the seam moving around."
South Africa snapped India's 12-match unbeaten streak at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup as they handed the defending champions a 76-run defeat at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday.
After India dominated early as Jasprit Bumrah produced a stellar opening spell of 2-7, the Proteas scripted a comeback through a 97-run partnership off 51 balls between David Miller and Dewald Brevis. A late charge from Tristan Stubbs, who knocked off an unbeaten 44 off 24 balls, took South Africa past the 180-mark.
