David Miller and Aiden Markram smashed half-centuries to lead South Africa to a five-wicket win over India in Perth on Sunday and put them in pole position for a semi-final berth at the Twenty20 World Cup.

South Africa's bowlers, led by Lungi Ngidi, restricted India to 133-9 in Perth, and then their batsmen passed their target with two balls to spare, largely due to a 76-run stand between Miller, who scored 59 not out, and Markram, who made 52.

South Africa leapfrogged India and Bangladesh to the top of Group 2 with five points from three games, a point ahead. Zimbabwe have three points, Pakistan two, and the Netherlands are rock bottom, yet to score a point.

India dragged the game into the final over, with South Africa needing six to win, and Miller finished off with two boundaries in his 46-ball innings.
