Despite being at full strength, South Africa went down to India 2-1 in the three-match T20I series. David Miller scored a century for the Proteas in the second game while Rilee Rossouw smashed his first T20I ton in the last match of the series. Keshav Maharaj was the pick of the bowlers for the visitors, picking up four wickets, which was also the most by a spinner across the two sides.
South Africa will begin their T20 World Cup campaign on October 24, when they take on Group B winners at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart. Placed in Group 2, South Africa will take on Bangladesh before clashing against India.
