In Match 24 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, New Zealand will face South Africa at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Both teams come into the match with two consecutive victories, making the upcoming clash crucial as the winner will almost secure a spot in the Super 8s.
South Afrca skipper Aiden Markram has won the toss and decided to bowl first on the night. Both skippers after the toss: Santner: Looks like a good wicket, runs on the board and hopefully not a lot of dew. No easy games in this tournament and it's the same tonight as well. We know how good SA are and they've shown it, they're a quality side. Small improvements from game 1 onwards and we want to take it ahead. Same team. Markram: We will bowl first. Played one night game here, though the wicket got better through the game. Hopefully, the bowlers will do well and give us a smaller score. A bit of dew, not a lot, we'll not complain about it if it does come, the ball will slide onto the bat better. We've regrouped after the last match - one change, Corbin Bosch is back in place of George Linde.
New Zealand enters the match with strong momentum, having won their first two games convincingly. Their success has been driven by aggressive opening partnerships between Tim Seifert and Finn Allen. The batting lineup looks solid, with Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, and Daryl Mitchell offering stability in the middle overs. Check NZ vs SA live score updates here Captain Mitchell Santner’s spin bowling has been a key factor, while the pace trio of Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, and Trent Boult provide variety in the attack. The Black Caps are expected to maintain their aggressive play in the powerplay while focusing on improving their ability to defend totals if needed.
South Africa also arrives with confidence, having combined explosive batting with composure under pressure, notably their thrilling double Super Over victory against Afghanistan. Skipper Aiden Markram, Quinton de Kock, and Ryan Rickelton have been key contributors at the top, while David Miller and Tristan Stubbs offer finishing strength. Their pace attack of Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi has performed well on Ahmedabad’s bouncy pitch, and with Keshav Maharaj controlling the middle overs, the Proteas are well-prepared and likely to stick with a consistent lineup.
