The Super 8 matches of the 2026 T20 World Cup have already begun. The first fixture of Group 1 is being scheduled on Sunday, with India taking on South Africa. This is going to be an exciting encounter with the two finalists of the previous edition of the competition set to meet each other for the first time.
Both teams have been in excellent form, having won all their group-stage games and qualified for the Super 8s. The match is set to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. The stadium generally has three types of pitches: black soil, red soil, and black-and-red soil.
No aid for spinners in India vs South Africa game!!Though the black soil does not aid the spinners. Both teams have quality spinners on their side, and now the decision remains after the toss, whether to play an extra spinner or a seamer by assessing the conditions. Axar Patel, who was rested in the previous game, will be back in the side in place of Washington Sundar.
