South Africa vs Zimbabwe Live Score Updates, T20 World Cup 2026

Four!

Oh, how has that missed the leg stump?

Good length on middle, angling in, Clive Madande lifts it back over the bowler's head. Tristan Stubbs at long on, tidies up to his left and keeps it down to a single.

Right. Last 5 overs to go. Corbin Bosch (2-0-20-1) is brought back on, replacing Anrich Nortje.

Slower one, into the surface and over off, Raza gets inside the line to angle the pull but fails to get it away.

FOUR! That's been hammered away. Length ball outside off, Sikandar Raza charges down the pitch, gets his head down and slams it over the cover region for a boundary.

Yorker-length delivery, tails back into the toes, Raza jams it down to the right of mid on for a couple of runs.

That's perfect from Ngidi. Slower ball, full and lands it just inside the tramline outside the off stump. Raza leaves it in hopes of a wide but he won't get the call.

Full and wide outside off, Madande goes on one knee, and angles it down to deep third for a single.

Madande walks down the pitch again and Ngidi bowls the dipping slower delivery outside off. Madande fails to drive it away and the ball sneaks under the bat.

WIDE. Short of a length, pushed a long way outside off, Madande wanders down the track and looks to cut but misses.

DRINKS! A defiant captain’s knock from Sikandar Raza, who stands as the lone warrior for the Chevrons in an otherwise struggling batting unit. To post a competitive total, Raza desperately needs his teammates to anchor the other end and rally the score toward the 150-160 mark, though even that may prove insufficient against the powerhouse opposition. Conversely, South Africa will aim to either dismiss the opposition skipper or strategically starve him of the strike to ensure Zimbabwe is restricted to a sub-150 total. Lungi Ngidi (2-0-10-1) replaces Kwena Maphaka after the hydration break.

Hard length outside off, pushed away square through the off side for one.

Very full, angled into the toes, Raza hangs back and backs away a bit, easing it through mid on for a run.

Hard length angled into the pads, Clive Madande misses the flick and gets it off the thigh pad, behind square for a leg bye. 100 UP FOR ZIMBABWE!

Banged in a bit short and wide, fast too, Raza slashes it down to deep third and picks up a single.

FOUR! Top shot! Back-of-the-hand slower ball, overpitched on leg stump, Raza backs away, waits well and drills it between cover and mid off for a boundary.

A big swing and a miss! Good length over middle hammered into the deck, Sikandar Raza backs away and looks to clobber it over mid-wicket but misses the ball by a long way.

FIFTY for the Zimbabwe skipper, Sikandar Raza. Off just 29 balls. His first of this T20 World Cup. Slower again, full and on middle, worked away through mid-wicket for a single. This has been a solid knock from Sikandar Raza but needs to dig deep now, and he knows that as well.

Oh, that's nicely bowled. The off cutter from Maphaka, slightly full and on off, this one shoots up after pitching. Sikandar Raza is taken by surprise and gets beaten past the outside edge again.
