END OF OVER:
20 | 6 Runs 1 Wkt | IND: 133/9 | RR: 6.65

  • Arshdeep Singh2 (1b)
  • Bhuvneshwar Kumar4 (6b)
  • Anrich Nortje4-0-23-1
  • Wayne Parnell4-1-15-3

A good recovery by India to reach 133 for 9 after Ngidi's four-for had them reeling on 49 for 5 in the ninth over. Suryakumar Yadav then showed the way with the bat, scoring 68 off just 40 balls on a pacy, bouncy Perth track. A target of 134 doesn't even sound challenging but if India's seamers can also extract the same kind of help their counterparts did, they can make a match out of it. We will be back with the chase in a bit. Stay tuned.

In another World Cup, the future of Barcelona and South American Women's Football will be on show in the U17 Women's World Cup final in Navi Mumbai tonight. Here's ESPN's preview as Spain take on Colombia.

8.38pm "I have played here before, so I knew what lengths to bowl," Ngidi says. "We know they would want to use our pace, so we tried to keep our lines straight. Cramping them while bowling hard lengths was the plan."
