14:42 (IST), Feb, 26

SA vs WI Live Score: Windies skipper Shai Hope

"Just put the runs on the board again. We would have bowled first as well. One change: Roston Chase replaces Akeal Hosein. It's just a tactical change, he hasn't been dropped as he's played very well. We've played some good cricket so far and the boys are up for this game."

14:40 (IST), Feb, 26

T20 World Cup Live Score: Aiden Markram after winning the toss

"We're going to bowl first, Bish. It looks like a pretty good wicket. We've played here one or two games before. It's slightly tacky, if anything, so hopefully that moisture sort of gets less and less throughout the game and we're able to chase the total later. (Is familiarity an advantage?) Yeah, look, we've been lucky. Lucky to play the few games here now. Each wicket has been quite different from the other. I mean, the game we played against India, it was completely different to this side of the square. So, like you mentioned, still being able to execute whatever the conditions give you, and the boys have been doing that nicely. So, another exciting opportunity for us again tonight against a good team, and we look forward to that. No, we've got the same team. (How's KG been going?) Yeah, good. Been leading from the front, as you know. It doesn't always reflect through numbers and performance, but behind closed doors when no one's watching, he's putting a lot of love into the team, giving a lot of info to the guys as to what works well, but he's played here now in the IPL as well, and yeah, he's just doing his thing, as KG does."

T20 World Cup Live Score: Powell, Hetmyer on brink of major West Indies batting milestones

West Indies power-hitters Rovman Powell and Shimron Hetmyer are on the verge of rewriting the side’s T20I record books ahead of their crucial T20 World Cup Super Eight clash against South Africa in Ahmedabad.

Powell needs just 58 runs to surpass Nicholas Pooran and become West Indies’ all-time leading run-scorer in T20Is. Currently sitting second with 2,218 runs in 115 matches at an average of 25.79 and a strike rate of 141.61, Powell trails Pooran’s tally of 2,275 runs. The right-hander is also two sixes away from becoming the first West Indies batter to smash 150 T20I sixes, underlining his immense impact as a middle-order enforcer. His recent return to form, highlighted by a blistering 59 off 35 balls against Zimbabwe, suggests he could reach the landmark soon.

Meanwhile, Hetmyer is just one six away from setting the record for most sixes in a single T20 World Cup edition by a batter, eclipsing Pooran’s mark of 17 set in 2024. Hetmyer has been in sensational touch this tournament, scoring 219 runs in five innings at an average of 54.75 and a strike rate above 185, including a breathtaking 85 off 34 balls.

With both batters in prime form, the high-stakes clash could witness historic moments for the Caribbean duo.

14:09 (IST), Feb, 26

South Africa vs West Indies Live Score: Dominant numbers underline Proteas duo’s West Indies supremacy

De Kock’s record against West Indies in T20Is highlights his status as a proven match-winner. In 15 matches, he has amassed 642 runs at an impressive average of 42.80 and a strike rate exceeding 160, including two centuries and three fifties, with a best of 115. His ability to take apart bowling attacks in the powerplay often gives South Africa the early advantage and sets the tone for the innings. When in full flow, his fearless strokeplay can dismantle even the most disciplined attacks.

Markram has been equally effective, scoring 425 runs in 14 matches against West Indies at an average of 42.50 and a strike rate close to 158, including three half-centuries and a highest score of 86 not out. While Markram’s elegance and calculated aggression provide stability, de Kock’s explosive intent brings unpredictability and fear. This blend of calm precision and attacking firepower makes them South Africa’s most dangerous weapons. If the Proteas are to maintain their winning streak and strengthen their semi-final push, their success will once again hinge on this formidable partnership.

13:54 (IST), Feb, 26

SA vs WI Live Score: Aiden Markram and Quinton de Kock hold key

As South Africa look to extend their unbeaten run in the T20 World Cup, much will depend on the form and authority of skipper Aiden Markram and senior opener Quinton de Kock against a rampaging West Indies. The Proteas are not only chasing momentum in their quest for a maiden white-ball world title on Indian soil, but a victory could also indirectly boost India’s semi-final hopes after their crushing 76-run defeat in Ahmedabad. With confidence high and stakes even higher, South Africa will rely heavily on their proven top-order pillars to deliver in what promises to be a defining Super Eights contest.

Indian fans, who have long admired South Africa’s flair players, will once again watch closely, hoping the stylish duo continue their dominance against the Caribbean side. De Kock, one of the most destructive openers of his era, has an outstanding record against West Indies, while Markram’s consistency and leadership make him equally indispensable. Together, their contrasting approaches — Markram’s composure and de Kock’s explosive aggression — form the backbone of South Africa’s batting strength.

13:45 (IST), Feb, 26

T20 World Cup Live Score: Reifer confident West Indies can neutralise familiarity factor

West Indies batting coach Floyd Reifer acknowledged South Africa’s greater exposure to Ahmedabad conditions but remained confident his side could overcome any perceived edge by sticking to their plans. The Caribbean side have played all their matches so far in Mumbai and Kolkata, venues with noticeably different pitch characteristics compared to the vast Narendra Modi Stadium.

“They have an advantage of playing most of their games at the same venue,” Reifer admitted. “But once we plan properly and execute our plans, then we will play a good game of cricket.” He added that his team were not overly concerned about venue familiarity. “For us, we’re not worried too much about the venues and who played there, who didn’t play there. It’s about understanding what’s needed to be done and executing.” With both unbeaten teams eyeing a semi-final berth, Reifer made it clear West Indies believe preparation and execution will outweigh any home-ground familiarity.

13:45 (IST), Feb, 26

South Africa vs West Indies Live Score: Keshav Maharaj plays down venue advantage

South Africa spinner Keshav Maharaj dismissed suggestions that his side will hold a major advantage in their T20 World Cup Super Eights showdown against the West Indies in Ahmedabad, despite playing four of their five matches at the venue. Both teams head into Thursday’s high-stakes encounter on the back of five consecutive wins, with the victor moving into pole position for a semi-final spot. South Africa have been particularly dominant in Ahmedabad, including a commanding 76-run victory over India that stunned a packed 80,000-strong crowd. However, Maharaj insisted familiarity alone would not decide the outcome.

“It’s nice to not travel,” Maharaj said, while emphasising the constantly changing nature of the surfaces. “But from a pitch point of view, every game has been very different. The four matches that we’ve played here, conditions have played very differently throughout the game. So I don’t see it too much of an advantage. It’s just making sure that we adapt quicker rather than later compared to the opposition.” The left-arm spinner, who starred with 3-24 against India, stressed that adaptability, not venue comfort, would be the key factor.

13:15 (IST), Feb, 26

SA vs WI Live Score: ‘Energy and vibes great’

Reifer credited the team’s revival to a strong dressing room atmosphere and collective commitment, saying the players were thriving on camaraderie and shared success.

“We came here to play some good cricket, and that is what we have been doing so far. We have been planning well, batting well, bowling well, and fielding well,” he said. “It is about ticking the boxes. Guys are enjoying playing with each other, enjoying each other’s company and each other’s success, and that is important in a team setup.”

He also highlighted the wider impact of their performances, saying the team’s success has lifted spirits across the Caribbean.

“The people of the Caribbean are very happy with how we are playing,” he said. “With our performances so far, I think the team has inspired the next generation of cricketers.”

Reifer emphasised that maintaining standards and continuing their aggressive, fearless brand of cricket would be key as they chase another World Cup crown. With confidence high and belief restored, West Indies now have a golden opportunity to turn promise into lasting success.

12:55 (IST), Feb, 26

T20 World Cup Live Score: ‘No point to prove’

West Indies batting coach Floyd Reifer insisted his side has “no point to prove” despite nearly a decade of underwhelming results in global tournaments, saying the current squad is focused solely on winning the ongoing T20 World Cup.

The Men in Maroon, who last lifted the trophy in 2016, have endured a prolonged lean phase since, including early exits and failure to qualify for major events.

However, their dominant performances in this edition, including a stunning 254-run effort against Zimbabwe, have signalled a resurgence. Speaking ahead of the crucial clash against South Africa, Reifer dismissed suggestions that the team was driven by a desire to silence critics.

“There’s no point to prove for us, and we came here like any other team to win the competition,” he said. “A lot of people have us flying under the radar, but we plan every game to go in there with a positive mentality to win cricket games.”

He stressed that the team’s goal was not redemption but consistent performance, adding that their approach remains rooted in preparation, belief and execution rather than outside expectations or past disappointments.

12:34 (IST), Feb, 26

South Africa vs West Indies Live Score: SQUADS!

West Indies: Shai Hope (c), Johnson Charles, Shimron Hetmyer, Brandon King, Rovman Powell, Sherfane Rutherford, Quentin Sampson, Roston Chase, Jason Holder, Romario Shepherd, Matthew Forde, Akeal Hosein, Shamar Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, and Jayden Seales.

South Africa: Aiden Markram (captain), Quinton de Kock (wk), Ryan Rickleton, Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Keshav Maharaj, Corbin Bosch, Anrich Nortje, Kwena Maphaka, George Linde, Jason Smith.

12:33 (IST), Feb, 26

SA vs WI Live Score: Conditions, venue familiarity and semifinal implications

The afternoon start in Ahmedabad adds another layer of complexity.

Unlike night games, the absence of dew means both teams will compete under similar conditions, reducing toss advantage.

The pitch is expected to be slightly drier, potentially assisting spinners while also testing batters’ timing.

South Africa’s familiarity with the Narendra Modi Stadium could give them an edge, having already adapted well to its pace and bounce.

The result will also have major implications for India’s qualification hopes.

A West Indies win would strengthen their semifinal chances and increase pressure on India, making this clash a pivotal moment in the Super 8 stage.

12:32 (IST), Feb, 26

T20 World Cup Live Score: Key individual battles could decide the outcome

Several fascinating match-ups are set to unfold.

Shimron Hetmyer’s attacking intent against Rabada’s raw pace and bounce could define the early momentum, while Rovman Powell’s approach against Maharaj’s disciplined spin will be equally critical.

On the other hand, South Africa will rely heavily on David Miller, whose experience and finishing ability were evident against India. His battle against left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein could prove decisive in the middle overs.

Meanwhile, Jansen’s extra bounce against Brandon King at the top presents another intriguing contest. These individual duels could ultimately tilt the balance in what promises to be a tightly fought encounter.

12:31 (IST), Feb, 26

South Africa vs West Indies Live Score: Proteas bowling unit riding high after dismantling India

South Africa’s confidence will be sky-high after their commanding 76-run victory over India in Ahmedabad, where their bowlers delivered a clinical performance.

The pace trio of Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi, complemented by the accuracy of spinner Keshav Maharaj, proved too hot to handle.

Their ability to mix pace, extract bounce and maintain pressure has troubled even the best batting line-ups.

The Proteas attack offers variety and control, something that will be vital against West Indies’ aggressive batters.

If they manage early breakthroughs, South Africa could expose the middle order and neutralise the Caribbean side’s biggest strength.

12:31 (IST), Feb, 26

SA vs WI Live Score: West Indies’ firepower meets Proteas’ bowling discipline

West Indies’ explosive batting line-up will face its toughest examination yet when they take on an equally unbeaten South Africa in a crucial Super 8 clash of the T20 World Cup today.

The Caribbean side come into the contest brimming with confidence after demolishing Zimbabwe by 107 runs in Mumbai, showcasing their unmatched ability to change the course of a match within a few overs.

However, this time they face a far more disciplined and threatening bowling unit. With both sides eyeing a semifinal spot, this encounter could significantly shape the group standings and establish early dominance between two of the most in-form teams in the competition.

South Africa moved closer to a semifinal spot in the T20 World Cup with a commanding nine-wicket win over West Indies in their Super 8 match on Thursday at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium, extending their unbeaten run in the tournament.

The Proteas combined disciplined bowling with controlled batting to register their sixth straight win, while ending West Indies’ unbeaten streak. The two points also strengthened India’s position in the group, as a South Africa loss would have complicated the hosts’ qualification scenario.

The defeat also impacted the West Indies’ net run rate, which dropped to 1.791 from 5.350.

After being asked to bat, West Indies were reduced to 83 for 7 as Kagiso Rabada (2/22) and Lungi Ngidi (3/30) ran through West Indies' top and middle order. A lower-order partnership between Jason Holder (49 off 31) and Romario Shepherd (52 not out off 37) added 89 runs for the eighth wicket, helping the side recover to 176 for 8.

In reply, South Africa chased down the target in 16.1 overs. Captain Aiden Markram remained unbeaten on 82, while Quinton de Kock made 47 and Ryan Rickelton scored 45 not out.
