T20 World Cup: South Africa captain Aiden Markram hailed his side’s adaptability and quick assessment of conditions on offer after securing a comprehensive 76-run victory over India in the Super Eights clash of 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday.

On a slow black soil pitch, David Miller top-scored with 63 while Dewald Brevis and Tristan Stubbs hit 45 and 44 not out respectively as the Proteas recovered from 20/3 to post a challenging 187/7 in 20 overs. In reply, the South African bowlers, led by Marco Jansen’s 4-22, then delivered a tactical and execution masterclass to bundle out India for 111 in 18.5 overs.

"Great performance. Very different type of wicket to what we’ve had here, so great to see the boys assess that pretty early and adapt their skills to execute their plans. We’re really pumped for the bowling group. They’ve been working hard, started the comp a bit tough, but the way they rocked up tonight was a great effort," Markram said in the post-match presentation ceremony.
