India Face South Africa in Super Eight Clash

Much has changed since India men’s national cricket team and South Africa national cricket team last faced each other at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad last December. In that series, Suryakumar Yadav’s team won the fifth T20I match to seal the series 3-1.

Now, the two teams will meet again at the same venue, this time in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Super Eight Group 1 match on Sunday, February 22, 2026. With both sides aiming for a place in the knockout stage, the match is expected to be highly competitive.

South Africa has already played three Group D matches at the Ahmedabad stadium, so they are familiar with the pitch and conditions. Their experience at the venue could help them plan their strategy better. However, India may still enjoy a home advantage, as they are used to local conditions and crowd support. The Men in Blue also played their previous match here against the Netherlands, giving them additional confidence at this ground.

Both teams are in good form and have strong line-ups. India will look to continue their winning momentum, while South Africa will aim to use their knowledge of the pitch to their advantage. With high stakes and past rivalry adding excitement, fans can expect an intense contest at one of the world’s largest cricket stadiums.
