Opting to bat first, India’s top-order was rattled by Lungi Ngidi as the side was reduced to 49/5 in the ninth over with the likes of Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya also back in the hut.

Suryakumar Yadav though held the fort at one end and struck 68 off 40 that included three maximums and six fours but fell short of partners at the other end as India were restricted to 33/9 in 20 overs.

Miller remained unbeaten at 59 off 46 and anchored the side home by 5 wickets.
