South Africa hand India first defeat at T20 World Cup 2026
South Africa snapped India's 12-match unbeaten streak at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup as they handed the defending champions a 76-run defeat in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
With David Miller leading the charge, the Proteas recovered from 20/3 to post a challenging 187/7 in 20 overs. The South African bowlers then delivered a masterclass of restrained aggression, dismissing India for 111 in 18.5 overs and completing a dominant victory.
It was a repeat of the 2024 T20 World Cup final and both teams were unbeaten in this edition so far.
