SA vs NZ Live streaming details, when & where to watch South Africa vs New Zealand T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final 1

The SA vs NZ semi-final 1 will take place on March 4.

In the first semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2026, South Africa and New Zealand will battle at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The Proteas booked a berth in the semi-final from Group 1, while the Black Caps qualified from Group 2.

The Aiden Markram & Co. have been unbeaten in the tournament so far, winning seven games in a row. In the Super 8 round, they outplayed India, the West Indies, and Zimbabwe like a walk in the park to grab the top spot in the points table.

Speaking about New Zealand, they witnessed a roller-coaster ride in the Super 8 round. Their first match against Pakistan was abandoned due to rain, while they won the next game against Sri Lanka.

Mitchell Santner and Co. lost their last Super 8 match against England, but with 3 points and a better net run rate (NRR) than Pakistan, they finished second in the Group 2 points table and qualified for the knockout round.

In the semi-final, South Africa will bring back their core members who were rested in the previous game against Zimbabwe. New Zealand played five spinners in the last game, and a few of them may be rested in the semi-final. Seam all-rounder James Neesham might be added to the side.

Notably, the Proteas have defeated the Kiwis in all five matches in the history of the previous T20 World Cup. Hence, the records are in South Africa’s favour.
