South Africa and New Zealand Set for ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Semi-Final at Eden Gardens

The ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 first semi-final between South Africa and New Zealand will be held on March 4 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, starting at 7:00 PM IST. South Africa enters unbeaten and favored, led by Aiden Markram, while New Zealand seeks to challenge with focused preparations. The pitch favors batting with some spin later, and dew may assist chasing. A reserve day is set for March 5 in case of rain, with South Africa advancing if a minimum 10-over game is not completed. The match will be broadcast live on Star Sports and streamed on Jio Hotstar.
