New Zealand are taking on South Africa in one of the most crucial Group D clash of the T20 World Cup 2026. With two wins each from their two games so far in the tournament, both teams walked out at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad in a clash of table-toppers.
The winner of the match between New Zealand and South Africa will ease into the Super 8 stage with six points. United Arab Emirates (UAE) are placed third with two points while Afghanistan and Canada are yet to open their accounts. The top two teams from each group will advance into Super 8.
The Kiwis are coming after decimating Afghanistan and UAE in their first two games. On the other hand, South Africa defeated Canada before surviving an Afghanistan scare in a double Super Over at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad earlier this week.
