T20 WC: Bosch, Nortje Shine As SA Restrict UAE To Modest 122/6

By IANS News February 18, 2026 • 13:06 PM View: 255

United Arab Emirates: Corbin Bosch and Anrich Nortje shared five wickets between themselves as South Africa restricted the United Arab Emirates to 122/6 in their final Group D game of the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday.

Under overcast skies and floodlights turned on, Bosch used the damp conditions well to pick 3-12, while Nortje took 2-28. Left-arm spinner George Linde kept things tight with 1-17 as UAE’s innings lost momentum after a brisk start.

Alishan Sharafu top-scored with 45, but lacked support from the other end as South Africa’s bowling attack maintained control. Despite dropping four catches, the Proteas ensured UAE never recovered from early setbacks.
