T20 WC: What Will Happen If SA Vs NZ Semi-final Is Washed Out?
T20 World Cup: South Africa and New Zealand are meeting for the second time in this T20 World Cup, but the stakes are much higher than in their previous match. Unlike their earlier group game, which had little impact, this is now the first semifinal of the tournament as the match, scheduled for Wednesday at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, will determine the first team to reach the final.
South Africa head into the knockout fixture with momentum firmly on their side. The Proteas remain unbeaten, having swept through the group stage before continuing their strong run in the Super 8s. Their victory over India in the second phase further underlined their credentials as serious title contenders.
New Zealand’s path has been comparatively uneven. The Black Caps advanced from the group stage with three wins and a defeat — that loss coming against South Africa. In the Super 8s, they secured a comfortable win over Sri Lanka, suffered a narrow defeat to England and saw their fixture against Pakistan abandoned due to rain.
