Bangladesh got its challenge back on track and moved level on points with India by holding off Zimbabwe in a thriller to leave Group 2 in the balance with five teams separated by three points with two games to play.

David Miller and Aiden Markram both hit half-centuries to lead South Africa to a five-wicket win with two balls to spare after the Proteas' fast bowlers, led by Lungi Ngidi who took 4-29, restricted India to an under-par 133-9 on a lively Perth pitch.

Miller, who scored 59 not out, and Markram, who made 52, put on 76 after the side's top order fell cheaply as they made hard work of what looked like a routine chase.

"Fortunately, we got the momentum we needed," said captain Temba Bavuma of his middle-order pair.

"We came into the tournament as non-favorites and we will keep flying under the radar," he added with his side unbeaten after three matches.

India's attack made early inroads with left-arm quick Arshdeep Singh striking twice in three balls.
