Into the new week, we go - Well, folks, that's all we have from Super Sunday, but the action in the 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup continues. On Monday, 23 February, the remaining two teams in Group 1 will go up against each other. It will be West Indies taking on Zimbabwe at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. That game will begin at 1.30 pm GMT, but as usual, you can join the build-up a lot sooner. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
Enjoy this win and then park it - The skipper of South Africa, Aiden Markram feels it was a different kind of wicket than they had previously. He applauds the way his boys adapted to the conditions and feels that the partnership between Dewald Brevis and David Miller steadied the ship. Reckons the wicket was spongy, so had to run hard in the second half of the innings. Admits that there wasn't the connectedness towards the game against the UAE, but feels they were all regrouped and connected for today's game, which made the difference. On Lungi Ngidi's performance, Aiden says he is a threat and can pick wickets in any conditions. He is a soldier and delivers for the team. Notes that the West Indies are playing really good cricket, and they are looking forward to that match.
Nothing changes after one loss - The Indian captain​​​​​​, Suryakumar Yadav believes that his side bowled well, but South Africa batted well between overs 7 and 15 and admits they could have batted better. Feels that you cannot win the game in the Powerplay, but you can lose it and losing too many wickets early meant they could not build the partnerships they needed. He acknowledges the impact of the Arshdeep and Bumrah combination, saying everyone knows what they bring to the side. Tells that nothing changes because of one loss, and he wants his team to continue playing the brand of cricket they have been playing till now.
Let's now hear what the two captains have to say...
Player of the Match - World Test Championship-winning captain, Temba Bavuma, hands the award to David Miller for his game-changing knock of 63 runs in just 35 balls. He says they were behind the eight ball when they were 20/3 and didn't want to go in the shell, so it was nice to hit a couple of boundaries along with Dewald Brevis. Reckons that this wicket demanded to hit more straight than square. It wasn't spinning too much, so they tried to take on the spinners. Shares that India have some world-class bowlers and they just tried to match the intensity.
The hosts get a taste of their own medicine - India have been, without a doubt, the best T20 outfit in the international game over the last couple of years but they have been humbled by the Proteas, who came in with a plan and executed things perfectly. India have been vulnerable with the bat during the course of the tournament but given it is such a deep batting lineup and the bowling has been so good, that they have gotten away with it, not today, though. India got the perfect start with the ball as Jasprit Bumrah once again showed why he is the most feared bowler in the world. However, the spinners failed to make an impact and Varun Chakaravarthy had a rare shoddy outing. Bumrah and co did pull things back a bit at the death but Hardik Pandya went for 20 runs in the final over and the momentum swayed South Africa's way. With the bat, the less we speak, the better. As many as 8 top-class T20 batters and yet India only managed to get 111 runs. Once again, the opening stand didn't work out and this time, it was Ishan Kishan who got out for a duck. Abhishek Sharma huffed and puffed his way to 15 runs and Suryakumar Yadav also got a start but barring Shivam Dube, no one made any sort of an impact and things went out of reach too soon.
Proteas take revenge and then some - South Africa will have that evening in Barbados from a couple of years ago in the back of their mind heading into this clash. And boy, they have completely flipped the script on its head and have dealt a big blow to the host nation, India, who are dubbed as the favorites to win the competition. They stuttered with the bat early on, losing 3 wickets for just 20 runs but then came their crisis-man, David Miller and along with Dewald Brevis, shifted the momentum of the first innings. Their stand, worth 97 runs, was the highlight of the Proteas batting innings. Tristan Stubbs' late burst in the final over took them to a solid total of 187 runs. With the ball, South Africa returned fire and had India in all sorts of bother inside the Powerplay. Aiden Markram's decision to open the bowling against the two left-handed openers worked like a charm as he got rid of an in-form Ishan Kishan. The pacers then followed up and kept pressing. The catching was fantastic, and the changes in pace and in lengths were just spot-on from the Proteas. Marco Jansen was the standout with his four-fer as the likes of Keshav Maharaj and Corbin Bosch picked up five wickets between them.
A double bashing of the hosts - Sri Lanka earlier in the day and India now, the first Super Sunday of the Super Eight stage has seen the two co-hosts being handed hefty defeats, and in the process, both of them have been derailed off the tracks right now. The Proteas, on the other hand, have made Ahmedabad a second home and have outplayed the reigning champions, handing them a first defeat in Men's T20 World Cup matches after 12 straight wins.

Marco Jansen To Jasprit Bumrah OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! A thumping win for South Africa by 76 runs. Pace taken off, full and pushed across the right-hander, Bumrah extends his hands into the lofted drive. Gets it right off the toe end of the blade, and it is spooned to extra cover, where Aiden Markram circles under it on the edge of the ring and makes no mistake. Two in two for Jansen to complete a statement win for the Proteas.
Jasprit Bumrah is the last man in for India.

Marco Jansen To Shivam Dube OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Wicket number 3 for Marco Jansen. Knuckleball from Jansen, on a back of a length, on middle and leg. Dube swivels to get the pull away but he picks out Ngidi at short fine leg. Lungi does not have to move an inch, and he takes a sharp catch around his waist. No celebration from Marco. He just turns around and walks back to his mark. Dube's vigil comes to an end.

Marco Jansen To Shivam Dube
SIX! Could Ryan Rickelton have done better there? Marco Jansen thinks so, as does Aiden Markram. Slower ball, banged in short, on off. Dube swivels and pulls it to deep mid-wicket. Rickelton is a bit late to react in the deep and sprints to his left eventually. He stretches his hands out to his left, but the ball clips his fingertips and falls beyond the fence.

Ngidi goes searching for the dipping full ball, on leg. Dube takes it on the full and whips it to deep mid-wicket. Dewald Brevis overruns the ball but manages to lay a hand on it. It is backed up by the deep square leg fielder but the error from Brevis allows Dube to come back for the second.
