IND vs SA Super 8, T20 World Cup 2026: Head-to-Head Record, Stats, And Key Numbers

Team India and Team South Africa are all set to take on each other in the Super 8 round of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026. The clash between the two finalists of the World Cup 2024 is scheduled to take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday, 22nd February.

It has to be noted that this will be the 36th time that the Indian cricket team will be locking its horns against South Africa in the shortest format of the game. Talking about the head-to-head records, the Men in Blue have an upper hand over South Africa. In the 35 games they have played together, the Indian cricket team has emerged victorious on 21 occasions, while the Proteas have won only 13 matches. One match has no result.

India’s strong record in the T20 World Cup continues against South Africa. Both teams have previously met each other seven times so far in the T20 World Cup, in which India won victorious in five of those matches.

South Africa is still searching for their first knockout win over the Indian cricket team

India has always dominated South Africa in the knockout matches. The Rohit Sharma-led India defeated South Africa to win the final match by only 7 runs. Before that, India defeated South Africa in the memorable 2014 semi-final World Cup match as well. 

India and South Africa also clashed in a five-match T20I series in December last year, where India defeated South Africa 3-1, with one game washed out.

Meanwhile, England will look to recreate their pre-T20 World Cup momentum when they take on Sri Lanka in a crucial Super 8 encounter.
