South Africa vs Canada, 9th Match, Group D, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Highlights

Jaskaran Singh to Tristan Stubbs, SIX, a maximum by Tristan Stubbs as South Africa post 213/4! 21 runs from the final over. This was pitched up by the bowler outside off, Tristan Stubbs goes down on his knee and thumps it over deep extra cover for a glorious six. Miller at the other end applauds that shot

Jaskaran Singh to David Miller, SIX, back-to-back maximums! On the shorter side and David Miller picks the length early, ends up pulling it over deep square leg for half-a-dozen more. He gets a round of applause from Markram

Jaskaran Singh to David Miller, SIX, in the arc, out of a park! A juicy full toss by Jaskaran Singh, David Miller doesn't miss out, sends it sailing over deep mid-wicket for a towering six

Kaleem Sana to Tristan Stubbs, no ball, 1 run, from bad to worse. This time he has bowled a no ball again. A high full toss above the batter's waist. He goes for a pull, but doesn't get the timing right. A single towards the on-side. Free-hit continues!

Kaleem Sana to David Miller, SIX, pitched up by the bowler around middle and leg, right in the slot and David Miller lofts it cleanly over the non-striker for a clean six. That was all about timing

Jaskaran Singh to Tristan Stubbs, no run, dropped! Harsh to call it a dropped catch. Tristan Stubbs drives it straight back to the bowler and Jaskaran Singh gets his right hand to it in his followthrough. Was struck really hard and the bowler hardly had any time to react

Jaskaran Singh to Tristan Stubbs, SIX, even better. Pitched up by Jaskaran Singh, misses the yorker this time. Tristan Stubbs picks the length early, goes down on his knee and lofts it over wide long-off for a well-timed maximum

Jaskaran Singh to Tristan Stubbs, FOUR, banged in short by Jaskaran Singh, Tristan Stubbs finally gets hold of it and bludgeons it towards long-off. The fielder in the deep sprints across to his right, but fails to get there. A boundary after a long time for South Africa

Dilpreet Bajwa to David Miller, 2 runs, drags the short ball through the on-side for a couple of runs

Dilpreet Bajwa to David Miller, FOUR, David Miller joins the act. He has a pretty good record at this venue in T20s. Played here when he was apart of the Gujarat Titans in IPL. That was fraction short and David Miller crunched it through covers for his first boundary

Ansh Patel to Tristan Stubbs, FOUR, Tristan Stubbs is off the mark with a boundary. A tossed up delivery outside off and Tristan Stubbs drills it through covers to get going rightaway. Needs no time to get his eye in

Ansh Patel to Dewald Brevis, out Caught by Nicholas Kirton! Another one bites the dust. It's Dewald Brevis this time. Ansh Patel is making up for that dropped catch. A nicely tossed up delivery around off, Dewald Brevis looks to take him on and swings hard. A leading edge lobs towards the right of cover where Kirton settles underneath it holds onto the skier. That's the third wicket for Ansh Patel and Canada are pulling things back to a certain extent by taking wickets at regular intervals. Dewald Brevis c Nicholas Kirton b Ansh Patel 6(6) [4s-1]

Ansh Patel to Ryan Rickelton, out Caught by Harsh Thaker!! Tossed up delivery by Ansh Patel, right in the slot and Ryan Rickelton's eyes lit up. He takes on the bowler, lofts it towards long-on and Harsh Thaker takes a safe catch at the edge of the boundary. Both the set batters are back to the pavilion in quick succession. First Markram, now Rickelton. Canada have a chance to slow down the scoring rate, if they continue to execute their plans. Ryan Rickelton c Harsh Thaker b Ansh Patel 33(21) [4s-3 6s-1]

Ansh Patel to Dewald Brevis, FOUR, Dewald Brevis doesn't waste time to get going. Picks the length early, rocks back in the crease and pulls the short ball away to the deep mid-wicket fence. With the platform set, South Africa will be looking forward to notching up a total in excess of 220

Ansh Patel to Aiden Markram, out Caught by Dilon Heyliger!! That's an outstanding catch by Heyliger. Aiden Markram's belligerent knock comes to an end, due to this effort in the outfield. Aiden Markram thumps it towards long-on aerially and just when the ball is about to clear the boundary, the fielder grabs a fantastic catch at the edge of the fence. He was running towards his left and managed to stay away from the cushions despite the momentum. Aiden Markram c Dilon Heyliger b Ansh Patel 59(32) [4s-10 6s-1]

Ansh Patel to Aiden Markram, FOUR, the boundaries keep coming! Markram on the charge. Tossed up delivery around middle and leg, Aiden Markram whips it through the on-side, bisecting the gap towards deep mid-wicket

Saad Bin Zafar to Ryan Rickelton, FOUR, 50-run stand up! Goes down on his knee and swipes it away to the deep fine leg fence. He's toying with the field. Smashing sixes and finding the boundaries with finesse

Saad Bin Zafar to Aiden Markram, FOUR, tad short outside off, Aiden Markram rocks back in the crease and carves it through the gap between backward point and short third man. Aiden Markram is looking fluent out in the middle

Saad Bin Zafar to Ryan Rickelton, SIX, lovely hit! Ryan Rickelton goes down on his knee and smokes this tossed up delivery over wide long-on for half-a-dozen. Proving to be an excellent partnership as it has already moved to 40 off 20

Dilpreet Bajwa to Aiden Markram, FOUR, tries a lofted shot but can't get under it as the length is very full. It goes on the bounce to the right of long-on, fielder reaches out with his hands but fumbles. Sneaks through for four to bring up Markram's fifty! Ideal way to start the tournament for the South African captain

Dilpreet Bajwa to Ryan Rickelton, 1 run, good length outside off, Rickelton leans back and cuts to deep point

Dilpreet Bajwa to Aiden Markram, FOUR, overpitched again, this time from Bajwa and the result is the same! Markram hammers it straight back and it goes to the boundary like a rocket

Ansh Patel to Ryan Rickelton, FOUR, wrong line and Rickelton cashes in! It's drifting well down the leg-side, he gets low and sweeps hard past short fine leg

Dilpreet Bajwa to de Kock, out Bowled!! de Kock deceived by the slowness of the delivery. Bajwa has mostly fired it in so far, but this time he tosses it up at 84kph, it dips in the blockhole and de Kock is early through the shot as he tries flicking it away. Done by the dip as much as the slowness, and it sneaks through to hit off stump. de Kock b Dilpreet Bajwa 25(22) [4s-2]

Jaskaran Singh to Aiden Markram, FOUR, again he goes over mid-on! Slanted in on leg, good length ball and Markram executes the pick-up shot well enough to clear the leaping fielder. Didn't quite middle it but it was enough

Jaskaran Singh to Aiden Markram, SIX, sublime pick-up! Full on middle and leg, Markram doesn't go too hard, holds his shape and whips it over mid-on

Dilpreet Bajwa to Aiden Markram, 1 run, arm-ball just outside off, outswinger, Markram hangs back and punches down to long-on

Dilpreet Bajwa to Aiden Markram, FOUR, again the timing from Markram stands out! Flat on off, darted in by Bajwa and it zips through off the pitch. Markram makes a bit of room and punches it crisply through point

Saad Bin Zafar to de Kock, FOUR, too full and hammered! de Kock drills it down the ground to beat mid-off

Saad Bin Zafar to de Kock, FOUR, makes room and goes inside-out over the infield! Has assessed what Zafar is trying to do here. He's pushing it across from round the wicket, and so de Kock hits with the angle over extra

Kaleem Sana to Aiden Markram, leg byes, FOUR, straying down leg, loose delivery and it runs away fine off the thigh pad. South Africa on the charge early!

Kaleem Sana to Aiden Markram, FOUR, wow what timing! That's just a push and it has raced away. Good length on middle and leg, nips away a touch and he taps it through the gap at midwicket

Kaleem Sana to de Kock, 1 run, dropped! Short and wide, de Kock throws his bat at it and gets it right off the toe-end. It goes quickly to the left of short third who dives across with both hands but it pops out

Dilon Heyliger to Aiden Markram, FOUR, nails it on the up! Good length in the channel, not much wrong with the delivery but Markram gets right on top of the bounce as he square-drives it through the off-side

Dilon Heyliger to Aiden Markram, FOUR, finds the gap nicely! Full delivery just outside off, it's the outswinger and Markram drives nicely in the direction of the swing. Goes through the gap at extra cover

Dilon Heyliger to Aiden Markram, FOUR, wide half-volley, Markram reaches out and crunches it through the covers. Got away with the previous delivery, not this time. Not a great start from Heyliger
