Over-by-Over Turning Point
India’s powerplay was near-perfect — three wickets, 41/3, with Bumrah removing de Kock and Rickelton, and Arshdeep dismissing Markram for 4. But the moment spin was introduced, the equation changed.
Over 7 (Sundar): Brevis opened with a boundary off the first ball. Miller found a gap on the last. 11 runs leaked. The shift begins.
Over 8 (Pandya): Introduced to break Miller’s rhythm, Pandya bowled a tidy 3-run over. Brief control regained.
Over 9 (Varun): The danger over. Miller smashed Varun for a maximum, then Brevis chipped in with a four AND a six. 17 runs off the over — the biggest of the innings.
Over 10 (Pandya): The killer blow — a no-ball on the final delivery, free hit awarded. Miller hammered it over long-on for SIX. Then a four off the short ball immediately after. SA go past 80 in just 10 overs. Pandya’s error could prove very costly.
The verdict so far: Bumrah (2 wickets, 0-22 off 3 overs) — India’s only bowler in control. Varun’s mystery is being unravelled. Washington Sundar expensive. Pandya’s no-ball a match-defining moment.

FAQs
Q1. What is the live score of India vs South Africa in T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8?
South Africa are 99/3 after 11 overs at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. David Miller and Dewald Brevis are rebuilding strongly after India took three early wickets in the powerplay. A Hardik Pandya no-ball gifted Miller a six off the free hit in over 11.
Q2. Why did India introduce Washington Sundar over Axar Patel in the india-vs-south-africa T20 WC 2026 match?
India made a bold selection call, keeping vice-captain Axar Patel out for the second consecutive game and fielding Washington Sundar instead — a move likely designed to counter SA’s left-handed heavy top order. However, Sundar has so far leaked 22 runs in 2 overs without a wicket.
