The start of India's Super 8 campaign in the cricket tournament was less than ideal as they faced a significant 76-run defeat against South Africa in Ahmedabad. This defeat not only shook the Indian team but also impacted their net run rate, putting pressure on them to secure wins in their upcoming matches against Zimbabwe and the West Indies to stay in the race for the semi-finals. Adding salt to the wound, former Pakistani cricketer Yousuf mocked India's performance and labeled Amir as a 'menace'. This incident reignited Mohammad Amir's earlier prediction of India's struggle to reach the semi-finals, adding an extra layer of tension and anticipation to the tournament.
