In a dominant display at the Narendra Modi Stadium, South Africa bundled out defending champions India for a paltry 111, registering a commanding 76-run victory to stay unbeaten in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 stage. Chasing 188, India never managed to recover from early blows as the Proteas’ bowlers ran through the lineup with clinical precision.
After being sent in to bat, South Africa lost early wickets, reduced to 20/3 inside the powerplay thanks to incisive strikes from Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh. However, a counter-attacking partnership between Dewald Brevis and David Miller stabilized the innings, with Miller anchoring a 26-ball half-century while Brevis entertained with innovative strokeplay, clearing the ropes at crucial junctures. Despite India’s bowlers fighting back, including Bumrah taking three wickets to become India’s leading T20 World Cup wicket-taker, the Proteas finished strongly at 187/6, setting a challenging target under lights.
India’s reply collapsed under relentless South African pressure. Early dismissals of Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma left India reeling at 5/2. Abhishek Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav attempted to rebuild, scoring boundaries and rotating strike, but wickets fell at regular intervals. Washington Sundar, Hardik Pandya, and Shivam Dube made spirited contributions, with Dube striking back-to-back sixes off Kagiso Rabada, yet partnerships never lasted.

Ultimately, India’s lower order offered little resistance, as the team folded for 111. South Africa’s comprehensive performance—powerful batting, tight bowling, and sharp fielding, cemented their status as strong title contenders, dominating India from start to finish.
