South Africa End India’s 12-Match T20 World Cup Streak, Leave Semifinal Hopes Hanging

By IANS News February 23, 2026 • 08:18 AM View: 769

South Africa handing India a 76-run defeat in their Super Eights clash in 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday snapped the defending champions' 12-match winning streak in the mega event and plunged their semifinal aspirations into serious doubt.

In a rematch of the 2024 T20 World Cup final, the Proteas recovered from early adversity to post 187/7 before dismissing India for just 111 in 18.5 overs. South Africa's innings appeared to be unravelling when Jasprit Bumrah produced a ferocious opening spell of 2-7 in his first two overs, and reduced the Proteas to 20/3.
