South Africa and New Zealand face off in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 semifinal at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. South Africa enters unbeaten and favored after strong performances in group and Super 8 stages, led by captain Aiden Markram and a potent pace attack including Lungi Ngidi and Kagiso Rabada. New Zealand, having lost to South Africa earlier, seek to overturn that result despite challenges in recent matches. Both teams' mental resilience and key player contributions will be crucial in this high-stakes knockout.
