South Africa vs United Arab Emirates, 34th Match, Group D, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Highlights

Corbin Bosch to Muhammad Arfan, out Caught by Jason Smith!! The wickets keep falling - hard length and Arfan doesn't get hold of the pull, pulls it high off the bat and lobs a simple catch down deep mid-wicket's throat. Third wicket for Bosch and he's on the money today. Muhammad Arfan c Jason Smith b Corbin Bosch 11(18)

Anrich Nortje to Alishan Sharafu, out Caught by Kwena Maphaka!! A massive top-edge on the pull - went high over mid-wicket, no calling as both Maphaka and KG run towards the ball. So nearly could've been a nasty collision. Was a back of a length delivery that angled back into the right-hander, was bowled into the pitch and Sharafu miscued it completely - was Rabada's catch as he ran in from the deep, but Maphaka ran back from mid-wicket, kept his eyes on the ball and completes a fine catch. Alishan Sharafu c Kwena Maphaka b Anrich Nortje 45(38) [4s-5 6s-1]

Kagiso Rabada to Alishan Sharafu, FOUR, edged and four, slower short ball outside off - Sharafu throws his hands on the cut, gets a thick top-edge and the ball flies through the vacant slip region

Kagiso Rabada to Muhammad Arfan, 1 run, Oh dear! South Africa have been so shoddy in the field, Bosch had plenty of time to settle under it, but he slightly overran and then had to arch back, makes a mess of the chance. Was a good length delivery around off, Arfan runs down the pitch and gets it off the inner half, high and down to deep mid-on

Corbin Bosch to Alishan Sharafu, FOUR, short of third man and the ball bounces away to the ropes - on a good length and just outside off, Sharafu came down the pitch, made room and sliced a thick edge towards third man - Nortje ran in, dived frward, but the ball bounces in front of him and rolls over to the ropes

Kwena Maphaka to Alishan Sharafu, 1 run, a tag team effort gone awry and Alishan Sharafu has been let-off - back of a length and angling into the hips, Sharafu shuffled across, uses the pace and looked to lap it over long leg, the top-edge goes high and over backward square leg. Nortje runs across, takes the catch and then realises that he's stepping onto the ropes, tried to lob it onto Smith's path , ends up popping it over his head

Kwena Maphaka to Alishan Sharafu, FOUR, cracking shot, Sharafu breaks the shackles at last - fraction short and pushed across the right-hander, Sharafu picks the length early, swivels across and then pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary

Anrich Nortje to Syed Haider, out Caught by Kwena Maphaka!! A no-look pull and the top-edge has been swallowed at mid-wicket - banged in short and at the stumps, Haider backs away on the pull and is rushed onto the pull, he took his eyes off it and the ball lobs into the hands of mid-wicket. Maphaka with the catch and the players will take drinks at the fall of Haider. Syed Haider c Kwena Maphaka b Anrich Nortje 6(15)

Kwena Maphaka to Alishan Sharafu, leg byes, FOUR, short delivery at the badge, Sharafu ducks under, but can't get low enough as he walks forward. Maphaka sees him advancing and bangs it short. The ball knocks the helmet and flies towards fine leg fence for four leg-byes. Physio is out there for a mandatory concussion test. Seems to be fine and we move on

Corbin Bosch to Sohaib Khan, out Caught by Quinton de Kock!! Sohaib Khan's struggle ends. The bounce and pace from Bosch gets the batter poking at a delivery outside off stump. The extra bounce made it harder for Sohaib to get on top of the bounce and the thick edge carries above QDK's shoulder on the right. Taken cleanly and moving to his right. Bosch spell reads 2 for 2 after that dismissal. Sohaib Khan c Quinton de Kock b Corbin Bosch 6(11)

Anrich Nortje to Alishan Sharafu, SIX, lovely shot from Sharafu. Comes down the track and makes room and slash the short delivery over third man. The pace of Nortje ensures the ball flies well over the fielder

Anrich Nortje to Alishan Sharafu, FOUR, edged and past the keeper. Good length delivery outside off, Sharafu has his front foot stuck on the ground as he pushes the bat away from the body. Gets a healthy edge well wide of the slip for four down to third man

Corbin Bosch to Aryansh Sharma, out Caught by Kwena Maphaka!! South Africa get both the openers back in the hut. Bosch with his short delivery, gets the extra pace and skids on the surface making it hard for Aryansh to connect. The ball hits high on the bat and lobs wide of mid-on. A simple catch for Maphaka moving to his right. Aryansh Sharma c Kwena Maphaka b Corbin Bosch 13(17) [4s-1 6s-1]

George Linde to Alishan Sharafu, FOUR, excellent shot. Makes room and goes inside out over cover to a full delivery on middle. The timing takes the ball well over the in-field and bounces a couple of time before crashing into the boards

George Linde to Muhammad Waseem, out Lbw!! SA have got the breakthrough. UAE take the review. There is noting on UltraEdge. Ball tracking shows three reds. Umpires decision stays and Waseem has to make his walk back. With him UAE lose a review. Waseem chooses the wrong delivery to sweep. He tries to change his mind, but is too late as the full delivery pings him on the back leg. He looked dead as soon as he missed. Muhammad Waseem lbw b George Linde 22(12) [4s-4]

Anrich Nortje to Aryansh Sharma, FOUR, scrambled seam delivery outside off, Aryansh slices the drive uppishly wide of cover-point. Doesn't bother to keep the ball down and splits the gap on the off-side

Kagiso Rabada to Aryansh Sharma, 1 run, dropped! That should have been taken by QDK. He calls first, runs back and setttles under the ball but fails to hang onto it. The top edge from Aryansh's attempted pull goes straight up in the air over the keeper' head. QDK settles under a swirling ball and shells it. Apologises to the bowler. End of an eventful over. 14 runs and a drop catch off that over

Kagiso Rabada to Muhammad Waseem, FOUR, too straight from Rabada. Waseem gets inside the line of the ball and flicks it wide of short fine leg for hat-trick of fours

Kagiso Rabada to Muhammad Waseem, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Waseem. Clears his front foot and thumps it back over Rabada for another four

Kagiso Rabada to Muhammad Waseem, FOUR, full delivery outside off, Waseem gets behind the line of the ball and smokes it straight down the ground. Few bounces and over the fence

Kwena Maphaka to Aryansh Sharma,no run, South Africa take the review for LBW! That looked like it was clearly pitching outside leg stump. Umpire check if there was any bat involved, nothing on UltraEdge. Ball tracking shows the ball was clearly outside leg. South Africa lose the review. Coming to the ball - It was full and on leg-stump, Aryansh goes for the flicks and misses

Kwena Maphaka to Muhammad Waseem, FOUR, half-volley outside off, Waseem leans forward and creams the drive straight down the ground. Goes past the stumps at the bowlers end and races away for four

Kagiso Rabada to Aryansh Sharma, SIX, UAE are underway with a six. Top edge carries all the way. Another short delivery at the body, Aryansh can't get on top of the bounce as the ball raises steeply. Takes the top edge and flies over the keeper's head for the first maximum
