India continued their strong build-up to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup with a comprehensive 30-run victory over South Africa in a warm-up match on Friday. A balanced performance with both bat and ball helped Team India dominate the contest and gain valuable momentum ahead of the tournament.

Batting first, India posted an imposing 240/5 in 20 overs, with the top and middle order firing in unison. The batters played with intent from the start, finding boundaries regularly and keeping the run rate high throughout the innings. The total proved to be too steep for South Africa despite a spirited effort.

In reply, South Africa managed 210/7 in 20 overs, falling short by 30 runs. India’s bowlers stepped up at crucial moments, picking up timely wickets and applying pressure during the middle and death overs to restrict the chase.

The win highlighted India’s all-round strength, with both departments clicking well ahead of the marquee event. With confidence high, Team India will look to carry this form into their upcoming fixtures as they continue preparations for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
