Indian batters were seen struggling to score runs on a tricky pitch, slipping to 51 for 5 in the 10th overs.

Keshav Maharaj turned out to be the hero with the ball for SA as he picked three wickets in the 15th over. The loss snapped India’s 12-match unbeaten streak in T20 World Cups and hurt their Net Run Rate, now at 👁️-3.80, making their path to the semifinals much harder.

🖥️🔥How can Suryakumar Yadav and Co. qualify for the Semifinals after South Africa’s defeat?

After their defeat, the Indian cricket team now faces a difficult road to the semifinals of the T20 World Cup 2026. In order to qualify for the T20 World Cup 2026 semi-finals, India needs to win both their remaining matches against West Indies and Zimbabwe. In case they manage to win only one, then they will have to depend upon the performances of the other teams.

💚Scenario 1: India wins both matches

If India wins both matches, they will have 4 points, which should usually be enough to reach the semifinals. But if two other teams also end up with 4 points, say South Africa wins only one match, and the West Indies-Zimbabwe winner beats South Africa, India’s semifinal spot would depend on Net Run Rate (NRR).🌿

Scenario 2: India wins only one match

If India wins just one match, South Africa must win all theirs, and India’s win must be against the West Indies-Zimbabwe winner. Then, India’s semifinal spot would depend on Net Run Rate.🌿

T20 World Cup 2026: Suryakumar Yadav promises to make a strong comeback

“Sometimes, you have to think you cannot win the game in the power play, but you can lose it. Did not have the partnerships we needed. Part of the game. We will learn from it. Sit back and bounce back,” the Team India captain said.

“And good to have them on our side. (On plans for the next game in Chennai) Hopefully bat well, bowl well, and field well. Keep it simple. That is what we will try to do.”🌲☘️

India’s wins over West Indies national cricket team and Zimbabwe national cricket team weren’t enough because Super 8 qualification also depended on net run rate and other results. Heavy earlier losses hurt India’s NRR, while rival teams picked up bonus points with bigger margins. In a tight group, narrow wins don’t offset poor differentials, so one or two bad games can undo later victories despite solid performances.
