WI Vs SA Match Prediction: The 2026 T20 World Cup is being hosted by India, with some matches being played in the West Indies. This will be the Group 1 game from the Super 8, and it will be crucial in determining the two teams that will make it to the semi-final from this group.
The West Indies have been in some poor form in limited-overs cricket over the past few months. In October of last year, they lost an ODI series to Bangladesh before winning a T20I series against the same side. Then came losses in the ODI, T20I, and Test series to New Zealand, followed by defeats in the T20I series against Afghanistan and South Africa. The Afghans also beat the West Indies in their only warm-up match before the 2026 T20 World Cup.
The Windies comfortably defeated Scotland in their first match of this World Cup. Next was a match against England, which the West Indies won, thereby strengthening their chances of making it into the playoffs. They then cemented their place in the Super 8 with a resounding win over Nepal. Their last group stage game saw them triumph over Italy.
The Windies beat Zimbabwe by a massive margin in their first Super 8 game.
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.
In their first Super 8 game, South Africa thrashed hosts India, strengthening their chances of making it to the semi-finals

WI Vs SA Match 47 (Super 8) 2026 T20 World Cup Narendra Modi Stadium 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.
WI Vs SA Match 47 (Super 8) Weather Report
