South Africa's road to the semi-final: Redemption after 2024 heartbreak

The Proteas, under the leadership of Laura Wolvaardt, faced a massive heartbreak in their last T20 World Cup in 2024 when they lost the final against New Zealand in Dubai. They didn’t start the 2026 campaign well with a loss to Australia. They had nearly slipped against Pakistan before earning a two-wicket victory.

But their most important win of the tournament came over India in Manchester, where they made a strong comeback with a six-wicket win. Later, they got the better of the Netherlands and Bangladesh to finish off the competition.
