2026-02-23 13:06What went wrong for India?
India’s Super 8 defeat against South Africa at the Narendra Modi Stadium exposed tactical miscalculations and batting fragility. After dominating bilateral series, India struggled on a neutral surface where spin failed to dictate terms. The top order once again leaned on individual brilliance rather than cohesive partnerships, while middle-order inconsistency hurt momentum. The decision to include Washington Sundar over experienced Axar Patel backfired, disrupting both balance and batting order. In a high-pressure World Cup scenario, inexperience showed as players failed to adapt to match situations. With the group finely poised, India must win their remaining fixtures to stay in semifinal contention. Read the full story here
2026-02-23 13:06South Africa crush India by 76 runs after clinical bowling display
South Africa sealed a comprehensive 76-run victory after bowling India out for 111 in 18.5 overs while defending 188. India’s chase never gained momentum. Ishan Kishan fell for a duck, while Tilak Varma (1) and Abhishek Sharma (15) departed early to leave the top order in disarray. Captain Suryakumar Yadav managed 18, and Washington Sundar added 11, but regular wickets halted any recovery. Shivam Dube top-scored with 42 off 37 balls, striking three sixes, and Hardik Pandya contributed 18, yet the required rate kept climbing. Marco Jansen starred with 4/22, Keshav Maharaj claimed 3/24, and Corbin Bosch picked up two wickets as South Africa wrapped up a dominant all-round performance.
