An Aiden Markram special guided South Africa past West Indies in Ahmedabad on Thursday, and one step closer to the semi-final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026. After a record partnership Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd helped West Indies fight back from 83/7 to 176/8 in 20 overs. Put into bat, West Indies stepped out with a glory or bust attitude. West Indies struck 11 sixes and 15 fours in total, earning 126 runs in boundaries. It was one of the rare off days for South Africa in the field, as they dropped at least three regulation catches.
