South Africa will take on New Zealand in the 1st Semi-Final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at Eden Gardens. South Africa had a very good tournament. They remain undefeated, winning all three of their group matches and then all their Super 8 matches to reach the semi-finals. Aiden Markram and Ryan Rickelton have been in outstanding form with the bat, and Lungi Ngidi's bowling has been excellent. The African team defeated Zimbabwe by 5 wickets in their last match. Chasing 154, they reached the target in 17.5 overs.

New Zealand, on the other hand, won one match and lost one in the Super 8, with one match abandoned due to rain. Both New Zealand and Pakistan have 3 points, but New Zealand qualified for the semi-finals due to a better run rate. New Zealand lost their previous match to England by four wickets.

New Zealand registered a dominant eight-wicket win over Canada in their Group D meeting at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, comfortably chasing 174. After being sent in to bat, Canada finished their innings on 173 for 4, thanks in large part on the back of Yuvraj Samra's brilliant century. His 110 runs came off just 65 balls and were made up of many boundaries and sixes and built the momentum through the innings to give Canada a complete innings despite starting off on the slower side. Although there were only a few people contributing runs to provide support to Yuvraj Samra, the partnerships he formed created constant pressure on the New Zealand team by adding runs to the scoreboard and allowing Canada to have a reasonable chance of defending their total against a strong New Zealand batting order.

New Zealand's chase got off to a shaky start when two early wickets fell in the first 4 overs and gave the Canadian team a boost of confidence. Rachin Ravindra was able to stabilize the innings by rotating the strike with solid running as he gained comfort at the crease, before accelerating the pace of his innings. He was joined by Glenn Phillips, who changed the pace of the game from at a much faster rate by attacking the bowlers and hitting the ball over the boundary and forcing changes to the fielding positions. As the two batters added to the total at a rapid rate through their solid partnership, the scoreboard pressure was taken away from them as boundaries were obtained regularly, and the necessary run rate continued to decrease. As a result, Canada was unable to make any inroads or stop the scoring from both batters.

Earlier, Canada’s effort revolved entirely around Samra’s brilliance, as he controlled partnerships and managed strike expertly. Captain Dilpreet Bajwa added stability with a patient 36 to steady the middle phase, while late contributions from Navneet Dhaliwal and Dilon Heyliger lifted the total past 170. Although New Zealand’s bowlers produced tidy spells, none could restrict Samra’s scoring range. His dismissal in the final over reduced late acceleration slightly, yet the innings still appeared competitive. Ultimately, Phillips’ finish highlighted the difference between the sides and confirmed New Zealand’s superiority with the bat.

Agony, bizarre twists, crunch passages, and tense finishes have defined Group D so far, and another gripping contest awaits as South Africa take on New Zealand in Match 24 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. The clash will be held at the massive Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday, February 14. Historically, New Zealand have enjoyed the upper hand, winning four of the last five T20Is between the sides. That record adds an extra layer of intrigue to an already high-stakes encounter.

New Zealand arrive in excellent form, having comfortably defeated Afghanistan before completing a dominant chase against the United Arab Emirates. Another victory would secure their progression to the Super Eights with a game still remaining. South Africa, meanwhile, are coming off a dramatic double super-over win against Afghanistan at the same venue. While they will be eager to collect crucial points, the Proteas would prefer a more controlled performance this time rather than another nerve-racking finish.

New Zealand has always taken pride in its excellent fielding performance, and Glenn Phillips has continued to stand out in that department during the T20 World Cup 2026 for their second encounter against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

On the fifth delivery of the powerplay in the first innings, Muhammad Waseem smashed a fine shot. It was dragged short from the Blackcaps captain, Mitchell Santner, as the batter premediated the sweep shot and adjusted quickly to pull the ball in front of the square region. On any ground against any team, the ball would have got to the boundary in a flash.

But that was when Glenn Phillips showed his class. He rushed into that position and sprinted to his right before diving full length and made the stop to save a couple. It hasn’t been the first time a fielder has stopped an outrageous boundary, and it won’t be the last time he replicates such a fielding performance.

Glenn Phillips' excellent outfield save goes viral in NZ vs UAE T20 WC 2026

New Zealand started really well in the powerplay with the early wicket of Aryansh Sharma, the wicket-keeper batter, who was dismissed for eight runs in six balls as he failed to pull the short ball and was dismissed at the end. But that was when Waseem and Alishan Sharafu put up a fine partnership of 107 runs for the second wicket.

Watch the video here: 

Their number three batter, Alishan Sharafu, smashed a fine knock of 55 runs in 47 balls with the help of five boundaries and a couple of sixes at a strike rate of 117.02 before going back to the hut thanks to a fine acrobatic catch at the boundary rope by Mark Chapman and Daryl Mitchell.

Waseem also batted really well for his strike rate of over 135 for his fifty runs as he smashed three boundaries and two sixes. The biggest momentum shift into the innings came from the 18 overs as they earned 27 runs in six balls. 

Brief Scores: UAE 164/4 (Muhammad Waseem 64*, Alishan Sharafu 55, Jacob Duffy 1/16) vs New Zealand.

<![CDATA[Watch: Rashid Khan gives aggressive send-off to Glenn Phillips in NZ vs AFG T20 WC 2026]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-rashid-khan-gives-aggressive-send-off-to-glenn-phillips-in-nz-vs-afg-t20-wc-2026/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-rashid-khan-gives-aggressive-send-off-to-glenn-phillips-in-nz-vs-afg-t20-wc-2026/ Sun, 08 Feb 2026 14:02:59 GMT

The pressure and eyes were on the Afghanistan captain, Rashid Khan, to collect vital wickets during their clash against New Zealand in the T20 World Cup 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai as they were defending the score of 182 runs for the loss of six wickets in their allotted 20 overs of the innings.

Very unnaturally, Rashid Khan didn’t have a great first over as Glenn Philips smashed the fourth ball of the leg spinner over the bowler’s head for a massive six before backing his power and hammering the short ball with a pull over the mid-wicket region for a boundary. That put massive early pressure on the veteran, who needed to make a strong comeback.

Rashid did so with the wicket of Phillips on the very next over. On the second delivery of the over, Phillips backed away on the inside-out drive against the full-length delivery on the off-stump. He went hard on the shot and lost his shape as the ball got an under edge and crashed into the stumps.

Rashid Khan pumped up at Glenn Phillips in T20 WC 2026 

Rashid roared and had an aggressive send-off to the right-handed batter, who was dismissed for 42 runs in 25 balls at a strike rate of 168 with the help of seven boundaries and one six. He left the field with the New Zealand side in trouble.

Watch the video here: 

Earlier in the day, Afghanistan posted a massive score of 182, thanks to the 63-run knock of 35 balls with the help of three boundaries and four sixes at 180 from Gulbadin Naib, who got a promotion at number three in the batting department. Their lower order also gave a strong contribution later in the game.

Apart from Phillips, the Kiwi opener, Tim Seifert, claimed a fine knock of 65 runs in 42 balls at a strike rate of 154.76 with the help of seven boundaries and three sixes. He nailed Mohammad Nabi for two successive sixes and a boundary before being dismissed.

Brief Scores: Afganistan 182/6 (Gulbadin Naib 63, Lockie Ferguson 2/40) vs New Zealand 136/4 (Tim Seifert 65, Mujeeb 2/16)

India and New Zealand are set to face off for the final time in the five-match T20I series, with the fifth encounter scheduled for Saturday, January 31, at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. With India already securing the series 3-1, the hosts will aim to end the assignment on a high. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side dominated the opening three matches in Nagpur, Raipur, and Guwahati, showcasing superior all-round performances before suffering a rare setback in the fourth game.

In Visakhapatnam, India struggled to maintain cohesion and were comprehensively beaten by 50 runs, allowing New Zealand to register their first win of the series. The visitors, led by Mitchell Santner, finally displayed collective effort and resilience, which will boost their morale. Heading into the series finale, New Zealand will look to build on that momentum and gain valuable confidence ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026, while India target a convincing 4-1 series triumph.

<![CDATA[Watch: Glenn Phillips smashes 105-meter six against Shivam Dube in IND vs NZ 1st T20I]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-glenn-phillips-smashes-105-meter-six-against-shivam-dube-in-ind-vs-nz-1st-t20i/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-glenn-phillips-smashes-105-meter-six-against-shivam-dube-in-ind-vs-nz-1st-t20i/ Wed, 21 Jan 2026 22:47:19 GMT

New Zealand faced the old start in their 239-run chase during the opening T20 I of the five-match series at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur as they lost two wickets for one run on the board in nine legal balls into the second innings. They needed contributions from the top order batter, and Glenn Phillips, fresh from his Indore century, stood out. 

Out of his six sixes, the most impressive one was the pull shot that he played against Shivam Dube, where he rocked back on his back foot and pulled the short delivery over long gone regions for a massive 105 meters six as the ball sailed into the top tier of the stand, where the crowd tried to get a touch of the ball.

Phillips ended with 78 runs in 40 deliveries, Sanctuary’s four boundaries and six over boundaries at a strike rate of 195, while Mark Chapman also collected 39 runs in 24 balls with the help of four boundaries and a couple of sixes.

Earlier in the game, it was all about India's aggressive approach from the first over to the last, where they finished with 238 runs for the loss of seven wickets in their allotted 20 overs, which became the highest team score in the shortest format against New Zealand, from the two-time champion side.

Abhishek Sharma smashed a fine knock of 84 runs in just 35 balls at a strike rate of 240, thanks to his five boundaries and eight sixes, while he got full support from captain Suryakumar Yadav, who nailed 32 runs in just 22 balls thanks to his four boundaries and one six. However, one of the biggest contributions from the innings came from Rinku Singh.

The South Pole remained undefeated on 44 runs in 20 deliveries, scoring four boundaries and three sixes at a strike rate of 220, which saw the home crossing the 235 run mark at the end of their innings.

Brief Scores: India 238/7 (Abhishek Sharma 84, Rinku Singh 44*, Jacob Duffy 2/27) beat New Zealand 190/7 (Glenn Phillips 78, Shivam Dube 2/28, Varun Chakravarthy 2/37) by 48 runs and lead series by 1-0.
