West Indies vs South Africa Live Streaming: When and where to watch T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 clash

The strong batting lineup of the West Indies will be tested to the limit when they take on disciplined South Africa in a crucial Super 8 encounter of the T20 World Cup on Thursday. Both teams are yet to lose a match and are hoping to improve their prospects of entering the semifinals. The South Africans are coming into the match on the back of a massive 76-run victory over hosts India in Ahmedabad, with their potent bowling lineup of Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, and Lungi Ngidi dismantling one of the favorites of the tournament.The West Indies, on the other hand, are coming off a 107-run win over Zimbabwe in Mumbai, which highlights their capability of scoring heavily and turning the game around quickly. The South Africans, having played most of their matches at the Narendra Modi Stadium, seem quite at home in Ahmedabad and have adjusted well to the conditions there, which provide good bounce for the fast bowlers and some turn for the spinners in the evening. This match is also crucial for India. If the West Indies win, they might get a position in the semifinals, and India will have to win their remaining matches by a large margin to stay in the tournament. With both teams in good form, Thursday’s match is expected to be an interesting encounter of big hitters, clever bowling, and high-pressure cricket.Head-to-head Records in T20Is:Total Matches: 18West Indies Win: 8South Africa Wins: 10West Indies vs South Africa: When and Where to WatchMatch Date: 26th February 2026Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad Match Time: 3:00 pm ISTTV Broadcast in India: Star Sports NetworkLive Streaming: Jio Hotstar App and website.Online Coverage: Live ball-by-ball updates and detailed coverage will be available on TimesofIndia.com Squads:West Indies: Shai Hope (c), Johnson Charles, Shimron Hetmyer, Brandon King, Rovman Powell, Sherfane Rutherford, Quentin Sampson, Roston Chase, Jason Holder, Romario Shepherd, Matthew Forde, Akeal Hosein, Shamar Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, and Jayden Seales.South Africa: Aiden Markram (captain), Quinton de Kock (wk), Ryan Rickleton, Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Keshav Maharaj, Corbin Bosch, Anrich Nortje, Kwena Maphaka, George Linde, Jason Smith.
