New Zealand vs South Africa, 24th Match, Group D, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Marco Jansen to James Neesham, 1 run, short and banged into the wicket, Neesham plays a controlled pull to deep mid-wicket and retains strike

Marco Jansen to James Neesham, FOUR, much needed boundary. Neesham shuffles across, gets inside the line of the short of length delivery and laps it fine - right between de Kock and short fine. Not off the middle but that's the reason it was in the gap

Marco Jansen to Matt Henry, 1 run, fullish delivery around leg, Henry stays leg-side and whips it to deep backward square

Marco Jansen to James Neesham, 1 run, slower ball bowled into the wicket, Neesham rolls his wrists over and pulls backward of square

Marco Jansen to James Neesham, 2 runs, fullish delivery on off, Neesham whips it wide of deep mid-wicket and Brevis sprints to his right, sticks his hand out and keeps it in play, saved a couple

Marco Jansen to Matt Henry, 1 run, slower ball close to yorker length, Henry digs it to cover and races to the other end

Marco Jansen to Mark Chapman, out Caught by Ryan Rickelton!! Such a soft dismissal. The partnership has been broken. No fifty for Chapman, he falls two short. Much needed breakthrough for South Africa. 122ks slower delivery, sticks to the surface and Chapman is early into the shot, closes the bat face and the leading edge pops to backward point. Simple catch for Rickelton but he gestures that he almost lost the sight of the ball behind the lights. Nonetheless, he holds on and Jansen has a fourth. That will be drinks as well. Mark Chapman c Ryan Rickelton b Marco Jansen 48(26) [4s-6 6s-2]

Marco Jansen to Daryl Mitchell, 1 run, back of a length around off, Mitchell knocks it wide of cover and crosses over

Marco Jansen to Mark Chapman, 1 run, fullish delivery outside off, Chapman loft drives it on the bounce to long-off

Marco Jansen to Mark Chapman, no run, direct hit and Chapman was gone. Jansen spears it into the blockhole, Chapman brings his bat down and squeezes it off the inside edge. He does not know where the ball went and sets off, Rickelton collects it at short fine and has a shy at the striker's end, Chapman was not even in the frame as the ball passed the stumps. Hang on! South Africa have reviewed. But this came off the bat. Couple of replays are enough for the third umpire to make the decision. Review lost..

Marco Jansen to Mark Chapman, FOUR, Chapman is dealing in boundaries.. 3 in his last 4 balls. Fraction short and ample width on offer, Chapman opens the bat face and carves it backward of point. No stopping that

Marco Jansen to Daryl Mitchell, 1 run, floaty full delivery, Mitchell squeezes it out to long-off

Marco Jansen to Mark Chapman, no run, short of a good length and angled across the left-hander, punched off the back-foot to cover-point

Marco Jansen to Finn Allen, out Caught by Aiden Markram!! Caught at mid-off, they're losing far too many wickets and with some poor shots - loopy slower ball outside off, floats across the right-hander and Allen can't resist the big drive. He's rooted to the crease though, can't quite get under the drive and chips it uppishly towards mid-off. The ball was dropping onto him, but Markram dives forward, does so with soft hands and completes a fine catch. Finn Allen c Aiden Markram b Marco Jansen 31(17) [4s-4 6s-2]

Marco Jansen to Finn Allen, no run, back of a length and pushed across the right-hander, punched off the back-foot to cover-point

Marco Jansen to Glenn Phillips, leg byes, 1 run, short and into the body, past GP's flick and lobs off the thigh-pad to square leg

Marco Jansen to Rachin Ravindra, out Caught by David Miller!! That's a sharp catch at short third and New Zealand have lost their second wicket. On a length and in that channel wide of off, Rachin pushed at that with hard hands, doesn't cover for the movement and the thick outside edge flies to the right of short third - Miller moves to his right, stays low, went with soft hands and grabs a fine catch. The players will take drinks after a rather frenetic first 5+ overs. Rachin Ravindra c David Miller b Marco Jansen 13(8) [4s-1 6s-1]

Marco Jansen to Rachin Ravindra, SIX, cheeky and six, short of a length and just outside off - the angle was comig back into the left-hander, so Rachin moves across, uses the pace on the ball and paddles it over long leg for a maximum

Marco Jansen to Finn Allen, no run, change of pace from Jansen - Allen watches it closely and defends it to the on-side - a wicket and 17 off the over

Marco Jansen to Finn Allen, SIX, top-edge and six, banged in short and at the right-hander - Allen swivels across and went for the pull, didn't bother to keep it down - the ball kept Stubbs very interested at deep backward square leg, but the shot has enough power to drop over his head

Marco Jansen to Finn Allen, FOUR, streaky and four, back of a length and angling across the right-hander, Allen did try to run it down with an open face, but this is a genuine edge and the ball flies off the bat, past Ngidi's dive at short third

Marco Jansen to Rachin Ravindra, 1 run, fuller length delivery on off, pushed in front of mid-on for a single

Marco Jansen to Tim Seifert, out Caught by Quinton de Kock!! Top-edge and caught! Banged in short by Jansen, Seifert backed away on the cut, gets a thin top-edge and Quinton de Kock does the rest. It's that extra bounce that Jansen procures which has resulted in a dismissal - the tournament's top-scorer got a start, but nothing more from Seifert tonight. Tim Seifert c Quinton de Kock b Marco Jansen 13(9) [4s-1 6s-1]

Marco Jansen to Tim Seifert, SIX, clubbed, on a good length and just outside off - Seifert clears his front-leg and hoicks it over mid-on, the timing is sweet and the ball sails over the ropes for a maximum
