Southampton, June 5 (IBNS): South Africa lost their third match on a trot in the ongoing Cricket World Cup as India defeated them by six wickets.

While India's Chahal picked up four wickets conceding 51 runs, Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar took two wickets each.

India scored the winning runs with 15 balls to spare.
