West Indies will play South Africa in Match 47 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Super Eight stage on February 26 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

This game is expected to be one of the biggest matches of the Super Eight stage because both teams are unbeaten so far. West Indies have been in excellent form, winning all five of their matches in the tournament. Their big win against Zimbabwe in the last game improved their net run rate and strengthened their chances of reaching the semifinals. South Africa have affirmed their confidence, having won all their games. The Proteas might have a small advantage because they are more familiar with the conditions in Ahmedabad, as they have already played most of their matches at this stadium.
