ENG vs NZ T20 WORLD CUP 2026: MAIN | SCORECARD
South Africa continued their stellar run at the T20 World Cup and head into the semi-finals unbeaten. On Sunday, March 1, Aiden Markram’s men swept past Zimbabwe by five wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Sikandar Raza flashed a brilliant all-round display but his heroics were not enough to turn things around.
Zimbabwe won hearts in the group stages as they topped the table with wins over Sri Lanka and Australia. Raza accepted the underdog’s narrative and hoped his team could continue their fairytale run. Yet the Super 8s proved to be a completely different challenge as Zimbabwe struggled to find momentum and lost all their matches.
For South Africa, the Super 8s only reinforced their dominance. Topping the group, Markram’s team will carry confidence and momentum into the first semi-final, where they will take on Mitchell Santner’s team from New Zealand on Wednesday 4 March at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
