T20 WC: 'It Wasn’t A Choke, It Was A Bloody Walloping,' Says SA Head Coach Conrad After Semis Defeat
ICC T20 World Cup: South Africa's head coach Shukri Conrad made no excuses after his side crashed out of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 with a comprehensive nine-wicket defeat to New Zealand in the first semi-final played at Eden Gardens on Wednesday.
The Proteas entered the knockout clash riding a seven-match unbeaten run in the tournament, but New Zealand produced a dominant display to secure a place in the final. Opener Finn Allen smashed a record-breaking century as the Blackcaps chased down a target of 171 runs in just 12.5 overs, leaving South Africa with no answer.
When asked after the match whether South Africa had once again succumbed to pressure on the big stage, Conrad dismissed the suggestion and instead admitted his team had simply been outplayed in all departments.
