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

Lungi Ngidi to Mitchell Santner, 1 run, short of length close to off, Santner knocks it in front of mid-off and quickly crosses over

Lungi Ngidi to James Neesham, 1 run, back of a length slanted across, Neesham knocks it square and the sweeper tidies up

Lungi Ngidi to James Neesham, no run, good length ball, no room on offer and Neesham defends it back to Ngidi

Lungi Ngidi to Daryl Mitchell, out Caught by Tristan Stubbs!! This is excellent captaincy from Markram. He got Maharaj back as soon as Chapman was dismissed, got a quiet over in and that put pressure on New Zealand batters. Then gets Ngidi back to keep the pressure up and that results in Mitchell attempting a big shot, he does not middle it and holes out to long-on. Fullish delivery angled in, Mitchell tries his go-to shot - down the ground, but hits it straight down Stubbs' throat. Both set batters gone and plenty of time left in the innings. Daryl Mitchell c Tristan Stubbs b Lungi Ngidi 32(24) [4s-2 6s-1]

Lungi Ngidi to Finn Allen, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Allen - on a length and the angle takes it onto the pads, Allen gets inside the line and then clips it past mid-wicket, the timing is sweet and the ball runs away to the ropes. An expensive over from Ngidi, 18 came off it

Lungi Ngidi to Finn Allen, no run, an appeal for a run-out at the bowler's end? Ngidi isn't too sure himself - Tim Seifert was surely stranded outside the crease, so that's not an issue. The 3rd umpire is having a check. Did it brush Ngidi's shoes on its way to the stumps? UltraEdge has a flat line and NOT OUT is the call. A loopy delivery outside off and Allen mistimes the drive back at the bowler - Ngidi tried to get down in time and missed

Lungi Ngidi to Tim Seifert, 1 run, another edge, and the ball flies wide of the lone slip - on a good length and nipping away from outside off, had Seifert pressing forward in defence, catches the edge and goes wide of Jansen at slip - Stubbs gets across to his left at third man, slides and keeps them down to a single
