SA vs NZ Dream11 Prediction Today Match Match Semi-final 1, Preview: It is time for the first knockout game of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. The undefeated South Africa are ready to get into their second consecutive finals. The Proteas have been very consistent since the last edition. They failed to lift the title in 2024, but Aiden Markram and his men look determined this time around. They are the only team that has not lost a single game in this tournament.
Especially in the Super 8 round, they have been in fantastic form, beating India, West Indies, and Zimbabwe in a one-sided game. The way they are performing, they will be favorites going into the first semifinal. South Africa are scheduled to face New Zealand in the first semifinal, which will be played on Wednesday.
This contest will be held at Eden Gardens in Kolkata at 7 PM IST. South Africa have already beaten the Kiwis in the group stage, and they will fancy doing it again. But New Zealand will come prepared this time around. The Black Caps have nothing to lose here, as they would feel lucky that they made it here, after Sri Lanka’s determination against Pakistan.
But New Zealand had an average batting display when they faced the Proteas last time. That was because of the brilliant bowling form of South Africa. However, South Africa will be the favorite for this game, but you can’t underestimate New Zealand, who are in India for the last two months. The toss will be crucial in Kolkata, as it was during the IND vs WI game.
