IND Vs SA Match Prediction: The 2026 T20 World Cup is being hosted by India, with some matches being played in Sri Lanka. This will be the Group 2 game from the Super 8, and will see two teams needing a win here to strengthen their chances of making it into the semi-finals
South Africa qualified for the 2026 T20 World Cup as one of the best-performing teams from the previous edition of this tournament. They have not had the best time in limited-overs cricket in recent months. First, they lost an ODI and T20I series to Pakistan, and then lost an ODI and T20I series to India, before winning a T20 series against the West Indies. Their only warm-up game before the World Cup was a defeat to India.
India survived an upset scare in their opening game against the United States of America, but ended up winning the match comfortably in the end. Then came an easy win against Namibia. In their third game, the co-hosts thrashed their arch-rivals Pakistan. They rounded out a perfect group stage with a win against the Netherlands.
South Africa automatically qualified for the 2026 T20 World Cup due to their ICC rankings. Since October of last year, they have lost in ODIs and T20Is to New Zealand, before being thrashed in the Ashes. Right before this World Cup, they beat India in a T20I series and entered this competition as one of the favourites.
South Africa kicked this tournament off in fine fashion, beating Canada comfortably in their first match. Their second match was against Afghanistan, one of the greatest matches in T20 World Cup history, which the Proteas won after two Super Overs. Then came a solid victory over New Zealand, which ensured the Proteas place in the Super 8. They maintained their perfect group stage record with a win against the UAE.

IND Vs SA Match 43 (Super 8) 2026 T20 World Cup Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report
The Narendra Modi Stadium is considered a haven for batters. It is the batsman who rules the roost here. As most pitches in this ground are made out of red soil, the ball gets a lot of bounce after pitching, a bounce that is even. This results in the ball coming onto the bat quite nicely. The bounce also ensures that pace bowlers can try to create something here. While there is not much lateral movement here, the fast bowlers can use the bounce to surprise the batters and take wickets. The square boundaries here are about mid-60s metres in length, while the straight boundaries go as far as 78m away from the batters.
