India fell a little short with the bat to face a five-wicket loss to South Africa in Group 2 match in the Super 12s of Men's T20 World Cup at Perth Stadium.

South Africa bowler Lungi Ngidi blew away the Indian batting order with hard lengths and extra bounce. He used speed and short balls to reduce India to 133/5 in 20 overs while David Miller and Aiden Markram smashed fifties for South Africa to win the game.

Although India lost the game, fans are more than excited as the fate of Pakistan largely depended on India’s win in the match. However, the hopes of 22 crore Pakistanis were dashed after India lost the match. 

Now, Twitter has been flooded with hilarious memes and videos after Pakistan was out of the T20 World Cup.

Suryakumar fought hard, hitting six fours and three sixes at a strike rate of 170 to bring up a brilliant fifty. However, India also suffered some lapses on the field that led to the loss.

After the match, Rohit said, "We were not good enough on the field. We gave so many chances and weren't clinical. We were just not good enough. The last two games, we were pretty good in the field."

"We have played in such conditions so conditions are not an excuse. We want to be consistent in that department. We could not hold on to our chances, we missed a few run-outs including myself. We need to keep our heads high and take learning from this game,” Rohit said.

Brief Scores: India 133/9 in 20 overs (Suryakumar Yadav 68; Lungi Ngidi 4/29, Wayne Parnell 3/15) lose to South Africa 137/5 in 19.4 overs (David Miller 59 not out, Aiden Markram 52; Arshdeep Singh 2/25, Mohammed Shami 1/13) by five wickets
