    That's us done for today.

    Take a read of Adwaidh Rajan's report to find out how South Africa hammered India in Ahmedabad, winning by 76 runs.

    England started their Super 8 stage well earlier today, beating Sri Lanka by 51 runs despite struggling with the bat - you can read Matthew Henry's piece on the match here.

    We'll be back tomorrow for Zimbabwe against the West Indies in Kolkata - that's a 13:30 GMT start.

    See you then.

  2. 'We're pumped for the bowling crew'published at 17:27 GMT 22 February

    South Africa captain Aiden Markram: "Great performance. It was a very different type of wicket but it was good to see everyone execute their plans. We're pumped for the bowling crew, they've been working hard.

    "The partnership [between Dewald Brevis and David Miller] steadied the ship and kept us in the game. We looked at where we could run hard and our batting in the middle was the difference."

    On the fielding: "We put two down but not for lack of effort. Against the UAE, we weren't as connected as we'd like but it was better today."

    On Lungi Ngidi's role: "I feel like he's a threat whenever and can take wickets throughout the middle phase. It depends on conditions so sometimes we hold him back so we assess it on game days. He's happy to do anything, a proper team soldier."

    On facing the West Indies next: "We're gonna have to enjoy this [result] but park it and get our minds sharp. We don't want to take confidence and good vibes for granted."

    Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube put on a partnership of 35 for the sixth wicket but never looked like getting India close to their target of 188.

    Their stand was broken when Keshav Maharaj took three wickets in an over, all caught in the deep by Tristan Stubbs.

    Marco Jansen then wrapped up the match from consecutive deliveries in the 19th over, as India were bowled out with seven balls remaining in their innings.

    Let's enjoy some wickets shall we?

    Here's the first five, as India slipped to 51-5.

  5. 'We could have batted a little better'published at 17:19 GMT 22 February

    India captain Suryakumar Yadav: "I feel we were always in the game when we started, I felt we bowled really well in the beginning. From 7-15 they batted really well, but we came back into the game. We could have batted a little better.

    "You can't win the game in the powerplay, but you can lose it. We lost too many wickets in the powerplay."

    On India's next match against Zimbabwe: "Hopefully we bat well, bowl well and field well. I hope we play the same brand of cricket, nothing changes."

    South Africa's player of the match David Miller: "I think you're always making sure you stick to your strengths, you don't want to go into your shell.

    "I think it was just about extending the partnerships as much as we could. We're all boundary strikers but it was about rotating the strike too.

    On India's bowlers: "They have some world-class bowlers so it is something we spoke about a lot. We've played against them a lot too. It's about matching intensity if not raising the intensity and putting them under the pump. They are good bowlers but they do bowl bad balls so it's about making sure you're in a position to do that."

    Four wickets for Marco Jansen, three (in one over) for Keshav Maharaj and two for Corbin Bosch.

    Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi were wicketless but provided excellent support, while captain Aiden Markram took 1-5 with his single over at the start of the innings.

    Shivam Dube top-scored with 42, but most of his runs came with the game already lost, with no other batter scoring more than 18.

    It shows the seriousness with which South Africa took this game. Their bowling plans have been impeccable. We're seeing the slower ball work for them, opening the bowling with Aiden Markram and then Marco Jansen with a second successive 4-fer. He is a superstar.

    I don't want to touch the money too early but they look like a side that could go all the way. They've got all the ingredients.

    An absolute hammering.

    Marco Jansen wraps up the match with his next delivery, bowling Jasprit Bumrah - he'll start his next match on a hat-trick and closes this one with figures of 4-22.

    A statement victory from South Africa, while India have serious questions to answer.

    Finally Shivam Dube departs.

    The final recognised batter finds Lungi Ngidi at short fine leg and departs for a 37-ball 42.

    It's a third wicket for Marco Jansen, who will now fancy finishing India off in his final over.

    South Africa are yet to bowl a team out in this tournament - it looks like they will tonight.

    Ind 111-8

    A third six for Shivam Dube, clouting Marco Jansen's first ball out to mid-wicket.

    Ryan Rickelton gets a finger on it but nothing more - and gets a hard stare from his skipper for his trouble.

    Once again, we get a fifth-ball single from Shivam Dube, who can only get Lungi Ngidi away for a two prior to that.

    He's on 36 from 33 runs, which is not really what's required, although this has been a fantastic South Africa performance.

    India have only hit 10 boundaries tonight, five of each type - South Africa struck 13 fours and 10 sixes.

    Meanwhile Ngidi closes on figures of 0-15 - very tidy even if he's gone without a wicket.

    Corbin Bosch is having a fantastic day at the office.

    Just the one run from this third over, with Shivam Dube taking a fifth-ball single to mid-wicket.

    The seamer has figures of 2-12 from three overs.

    Will this prove crucial?!

    Well, let's be honest, no.

    Shivam Dube faces two dot balls and then tries to go big again sending Kagiso Rabada's penultimate delivery into the air.

    David Miller has to run backwards in the covers, and fingers facing upwards, lets the ball break through his hands.

    Dube takes a single to move to 32, and Varun Chakravarthy survives the last ball of the over without scoring.

    That's Rabada finished with figures of 0-32.

    Shivam Dube goes for broke and twice slams Kagiso Rabada over long-on.

    That's India's hundred up at last.

    Urr... same bowler, same catcher again!

    For the third time in the over, Tristan Stubbs takes a catch off from Keshav Maharaj's bowling - it's like India are conducting a fielding drill on their opponents' behalf.

    For the second time it's a relay to himself, ensuring he doesn't stumble over the ropes with the ball in hand.

    130 needed from 30 balls - exactly 20 runs an over required.

    Meanwhile Maharaj's figures have improved from 0-22 to 3-24.

    No wonder Suryakumar Yadav on the big screen looks a figure haunted by what he's seeing. India are falling in a heap and they're going to lose this game by a mighty margin.

    Same bowler, same catcher.

    Rinku Singh also finds Tristan Stubbs off a Keshav Maharaj delivery, skewing his second ball into the air for Stubbs to snaffle on the slide behind the bowler.

    Both players involved in the wicket scream in delight, and Rinku departs for a duck.

    We were wondering when Hardik Pandya would decide 'this is it, I've got to go for it' and Keshav Maharaj was the batter he decided to target.
