India Vs South Africa, ICC T20 World Cup Warm-Up Match: Men In Blue Ease To 30-Run Victory
Ishan Kishan’s rollicking half-century helped him seal his spot in the top order as India notched up a 30-run victory over South Africa in their only warm-up match ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 in Navi Mumbai on Wednesday (February 4). Ishan smashed seven sixes and two fours as his 20-ball 53 underlined another dominant show from Indian batters, who racked up a massive 240 for five. The T20 World Cup defending champions then used as many as nine bowling options including three overs from Abhishek Sharma (2/32), restricting South Africa for 210 for seven.
