SA vs UAE LIVE: UAE have managed to reach a meagre total of 122/6 at the end of 20 overs, with South African bowlers dominating the majority of the contest. Barring a 45-run knock from Alishan Sharafu, none of the other batters managed to get going as wickets kept falling at regular intervals. Corbin Bosch finishes with 3 wickets to his name while Anrich Nortje bags 2. South Africa need 123 runs to register their 4th consecutive win of the T20 World Cup 2026
Pakistan vs Namibia: It is a do-or-die clash for Pakistan as they face Namibia in Colombo. Pakistan are coming back from a humiliating defeat against India. With USA in 2nd place with a better net run rate, Pakistan need a win. However, there is a 70% chance of rain in Colombo and if the match is washed out, Pakistan will go through.
India vs Netherlands: In Ahmedabad, India take on the Netherlands in their last Group A game. India have already sealed their spot in the Super 8. Hence, it is going to be a dead rubber before the IND vs SA Super 8 clash. India could rotate their squad, resting Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah for Mohd Siraj and Arshdeep Singh.
