IND vs SA Super 8 - Match 3 Live Score - Ahmedabad (22 February 2026)

Fires it full and in line of the stumps. Stubbs plays it straight, past Pandya's right hand and the stumps at the other end. The long off fielder cuts it off and they get a single.

FOUR! Oh, intentionally done! Pandya digs the hard length, around off. Miller pegs back to push it away and just nurdles it away fine of the felder at short third. The ball rolls away to the right of the fielder for a boundary.

Fractionally full and outside off, Miller bends across and punches it firmly through covers for a single.

A skiddy length delivery, around off, Stubbs lunges forward and drives it straight back to Pandya.

A genuine half-volley, outside off. Tristan Stubbs hammers the width away past cover. Washington Sundar in the deep, runs to his left and sweeps it cleanly to save a couple of runs. 

Two more! Drags the length back and bowls it on off, Tristan Stubbs pulls it to deep mid-wicket. Abhishek Sharma runs in and throws, but Pandya feels he could have been quicker to cut down the second run.

Pushes it full and across the batter, outside off. Miller cue ends his drive past cover for a single.

SIX! Oh, sweetly struck by Stubbs! Serves it a touch too full and wide outside off. Tristan Stubbs uses the long levers as he drags his shot across and over long on for a six. 

Tossed up, fuller and on middle, Stubbs stays back and bunts it through mid-wicket for a run. 

OUT! TAKEN! Varun Chakaravarthy might have gone for runs, but he picks up the wicket of the set-batter. An important wicket in the context of the game. Varun bowls the wrong 'un, across the batter and wide as well. Miller is rooted in his crease as he tries to clear long off but fails to hit off the middle. Tilak Varma at long off takes it with ease. End of a fine knock from Miller, but South Africa would have loved him to be out there till the very end.

Flatter delivery, around off. Marco Jansen taps it on the off side.

A dot to end the over. Serves a length delivery on middle and leg, it is the googly. Jansen fails to clip it away. Not given as a wide. 

Tap and run! An off-cutter, on a good length and on off. Stubbs waits for it before just playing it with soft hands in front of point for a quick single.

Shorter in length and outside off, slower again, Jansen stays upright and hits it square through the off side for one more. Is the yorker loading?

Yes, is the answer to the question on the last ball, but Tristan Stubbs does well here. An inswinging yorker on off and middle, Stubbs digs it out into the off side and picks up another single.

Clever mix-up from Bumrah here. A slower bumper, short and outside off, Jansen leaves it as he hopes it will sail over head height, but it doesn't. Just grips and goes behind to the keeper.

A bit fuller in length and attacking the stumps, Jansen gets the front leg out of the way and flicks it to deep mid-wicket for one.

Length ball, pushed wide of the off stump, Stubbs reaches out and strokes it to deep cover for just one more. Five singles off the over and 200 is now looking a bridge too far for the Proteas.

Length ball on the pads, tucked away down to deep backward square leg for a single.

OUT! CAUGHT! Swung away but straight to the man in the deep. Arshdeep Singh changes the angle by coming around the wicket. Bowls it into the pitch and a bit slower, angling it into the right-hander. Marco Jansen leans back to pull but doesn't get the desired connection. The ball sails over mid-wicket and straight down the throat of Rinku Singh in the deep, and he makes no mistake. India pulling things back at the death.

Shortish length down leg, stays a shade low. Corbin Bosch gets inside the line to tuck but the ball goes off the pads down to short fine leg for a leg bye.

Back to over the wicket for Stubbs. Length ball, pushed across off, Stubbs crouches and backs away, angling it down to deep backward point for one.

FOUR! That's well struck. A slower short ball around off, sits up for the batter. Corbin Bosch hangs on the back foot, rolls his wrists nicely over the ball and crunches the pull into the vacant square leg fence.

What a comeback delivery from Arshdeep! Fuller around off, shapes back in, late as well. Bosch is drawn into the drive but gets beaten on the inside edge. 

Back of a length and wide outside off, Stubbs reaches out and taps it to deep cover-point for a single.

Bumrah looks for the yorker at the toes but just overpitches a bit. Bosch leans across and seems to be falling over but gets the hands out in front and punches it down to long on for one more.

Slower one, bowled into the pitch and right at the batter. Stubbs hangs back and half-pulls it behind square leg for a run.

The momentum is getting sucked out of the Proteas innings now. Pitched up, fuller and outside off, Corbin Bosch goes for the reverse sweep but fails to connect.

OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Yorker-length delivery, lands right on the popping crease in front of middle stump. Corbin Bosch takes out the front leg and jams it back to the bowler, who pouches the ball by sticking out his right hand and starts walking back to his mark. Seems to have been a bump-ball but the Indians are asking the question and the on-field umpires have gone upstairs to check. Oh, seems to be right off the bat and the third umpire confirms the same. Bosch has to walk back as Bumrah gets his third wicket. 33rd T20 World Cup wicket for Bumrah. With this, he now has the most wickets for India in T20 World Cups.

A stellar 19th over from Bumrah, just three singles and a wicket off it. Full and straight, around middle, Kagiso Rabada jams it out to mid off.

Good fielding in the deep. Dragged down over middle, Tristan Stubbs hangs back and flat-bats it between long on and deep mid-wicket. Rinku Singh from the latter poistion runs to his left and lobs the ball to Tilak Varma who comes in from long on and they save a couple of runs as well.

That's risky running but they simply had to go for the second run. Yorker-length delivery on middle, Tristan Stubbs digs it down to long on and the batters just turn blind for the second run. The throw at the bowler's end is a bit wide and Kagiso Rabada makes it in.

FOUR! Uh, oh! Should Washington Sundar have gone for the catch? Maybe not at this stage and it will be a boundary. Banged in short over leg stump, Stubbs gets inside the line and pulls it off the top edge down to deep backward square leg. Sundar runs to his right and dives across but the ball lands short and goes behind to the fence.

Good-length delivery outside off, slapped straight to cover and Stubbs denies the single.

SIX! Up, up and away! Slower one, bowled back of a length and outside off. Tristan Stubbs rocks back, lines it up and pummels it flat over long on for a biggie. Can he end things off in style now?

SIX! Yes, he can! Stubbs goes bang-bang to end the first innings. Shortish length yet again from Pandya, over off stump, Tristan Stubbs leans across and hoicks the pull behind square leg for a biggie. 20 runs off the final over and South Africa finish with 187/7 on the board.
