ALL OUT! India’s unbeaten run shattered. South Africa dominate in Ahmedabad, crushing India and sending a loud warning to the rest of the field. The final wicket comes off a dipping slower ball outside off — Bumrah can only toe-end it into the infield, and a simple catch wraps it up. Silence around the ground as the Proteas seal a commanding win. South Africa (187/7) beat India (111 all-out) by 76 runs in Ahmedabad | Dube 42; Jansen 4/22, Maharaj 3/24, Bosch 2/12

IND vs SA Match Highlights T20 World Cup 2026 Updates: South Africa served India a brutal reality check as their one-dimensional “attack at all costs” template was thoroughly exposed in their first big test of the T20 World Cup 2026, with the hosts comprehensively losing their Super 8 opener by 76 runs on Sunday. After four straight group-stage wins masked underlying flaws, the Indian batters struggled badly on a slightly sluggish surface.
The loss — India’s first in a T20 World Cup since the 2022 semifinal defeat to England — has thrown the group wide open, making their remaining Super 8 clashes against Zimbabwe (February 26) and West Indies (March 1) virtual must-win games to stay in the semifinal race.
India recovered from an early scare against the USA thanks to a match-winning knock from skipper Suryakumar Yadav and have since looked clinical. South Africa, meanwhile, survived a dramatic double Super Over thriller against Afghanistan and followed it up with commanding wins over New Zealand, Canada, and the UAE.
