South Africa maintained their unbeaten streak in the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup by defeating Zimbabwe in the Super Eights match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Zimbabwe’s captain, Sikandar Raza, showcased an impressive all-round performance, scoring 73 runs and taking three wickets. Despite Raza’s efforts, South Africa secured a five-wicket victory with Dewald Brevis playing a crucial role in the chase.
In a thrilling encounter, Raza’s innings entertained the crowd with his well-timed shots, but South Africa’s bowlers, including Kwena Maphaka and Corbin Bosch, restricted Zimbabwe’s batting lineup. While Raza found some support from Clive Madande, South Africa’s disciplined bowling limited Zimbabwe to 153/7.
South Africa faced early setbacks in their chase, but Brevis and David Miller steadied the innings. Brevis’s aggressive 42, supported by Miller’s quick 22, shifted the momentum in South Africa’s favor. Despite some resistance from Zimbabwe’s bowlers, South Africa’s lower order, led by George Linde and Tristan Stubbs, ensured a comfortable victory with 13 balls to spare.
