India and South Africa will be facing each other once again in a crucial clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, as both teams kick off their Super 8 journeys in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
In a rematch of the 2024 World Cup final, defending champions India head into the showdown riding a four-match winning streak — a momentum South Africa national cricket team also share. That said, the Men in Blue may have a few concerns to iron out, especially their struggles against spin bowling in this tournament, regardless of the type. Both teams are high on confidence and will try to pull off a win.

The Proteas will be fully aware of that weakness but won’t forget what unfolded the last time these two sides met in Ahmedabad — their most recent official encounter, back in December 2025 — a result that will still be fresh in their minds.
South Africa played three of their four Group D matches in Ahmedabad, highlighted by a thrilling double Super Over win against Afghanistan. That familiarity with the conditions should work in their favor.
By contrast, India come into the clash after narrowly scraping past the Netherlands at the same venue, setting up an intriguing contest between two well-matched sides.
India probable XI: Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wk), Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakravarthy.
