Talking about the game, the Rohit Sharma-led Indian team suffered a defeat against the Proteas in Perth on Sunday. 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.

Later, South Africa too had a struggling start as they lost early wickets and were 24/3 within the first six overs. But Aiden Markram and David Miller provided the resistance and the two put up a partnership of 76 runs for the fourth wicket before Markram eventually departed for 52 off 41. Miller remained unbeaten at 59 off 46 and anchored the side home by 5 wickets.

India will now play Bangladesh on Wednesday in Adelaide.

Premier League: Ben Mee's header helps Burnley register win over Crystal Palace

Ben Mee marked his 300th league appearance for Burnley by clinching a 1-0 victory at Crystal Palace on Monday and keeping his team in an unexpected push for European qualification.

Burnley was without Jay Rodriguez — the match-winner against Watford on Thursday — and due to a lack of options Sean Dyche could replace him with only defender Erik Pieters. “Coming into the night with a depleted squad, with only one senior boy on the bench, and playing like we did tonight, it shows the character, it shows we’re together," Mee told Amazon Prime. “To get a goal is nice. I’ve had chances cleared off the line or good saves so it’s nice to finally get one in. "It wasn’t a great ball from Westy (Westwood), it wasn’t what we worked on but you’ve got...

England vs New Zealand: Joe Root aims for Black Caps and India sweep ahead of Ashes

Joe Root believes there will be no better way for England to prepare to regain the Ashes in Australia later this year than by completing a home clean sweep of New Zealand and India. The England captain will lead his side in the first of a two-match series against New Zealand at Lord's on Wednesday, with five more Tests against India before the English season is finished. India, top of the Test rankings, and second-placed New Zealand will contest the inaugural World Test Championship final at Southampton, southern England, later this month. England, and many of their supporters, have long given the impression that matches against arch-rivals Australia are the only Tests that really count, with everything else a 'warm-up'. But such a viewpoint was labelled "limited, narrow and delusional" by former England captain Mike Atherton in The Times on Tuesday. Root, however, saw no conflict between England's short and long-term goals. "There's going to b...
