न्यूजीलैंड vs दक्षिण अफ्रीका, मैच 24, नरेंद्र मोदी स्टेडियम, अहमदाबाद, 14 February 2026 - लाइव क्रिकेट स्कोर

Attacks the stumps, on a fuller length, Mark plays from the crease and chops it to the point region.

Rolls his fingers and bowls an off cutter, into the pitch, over off. Mark Chapman flays at it, and the ball pops off the outside edge towards deep third for a single.

Nails the yorker in, on middle, Daryl jams it down past the bowler for a single.

 FOUR! Thwack! Slower short ball into the pitch, on over middle and leg, Mark Chapman reads the pace off, waits on it and pulls it behind square on the leg side, and finds the gap.

 FOUR! Chapman races to 40 off 21! On a fuller length, on middle, Mark creates some room by moving leg side and thumps it over the bowler's head for a cracking boundary down the ground.

A slower dipping yorker on leg, Chapman digs it out to mid-wicket. Another over that goes in double digits for the Kiwis.

Very slow, around off, Daryl Mitchell takes it on the full and eases it through mid off for a quick single.

 FOUR! That's a glorious shot! Hits the length hard, and takes pace off. It skids on around off, Mark plays from the crease and steers it between the cover and backward point gap for a boundary.

 Confusion but no harm done! A pinpoint yorker by Jansen, on the leg stump line, Mark Chapman jams the bat down, and the ball goes off the inside edge to short fine leg. Chapman is off for a single and is sent from halfway by Mitchell. The short fine leg fielder releases a flat throw to the batting end, but misses his shy, allowing Mark to get back in. The Proteas, however, have gone upstairs for a review for LBW. The replay confirms a clear deflection off the inside edge. But had the throw hit, Chapman was gone for all money.

Slower length ball, around off, Chapman slices it off the back foot and hits it on the bounce to long off for a single.

Another pace off, on a length, on off, Daryl Mitchell punches it between cover and point and they rush through for a single.

OUT! CAUGHT! The change of pace works again for Marco as he has his fourth wicket. On a slightly fuller length, around the off stump line, with pace taken off by Jansen. Mark Chapman wanders forward and tries to flick that across the line, but closes the bat face very early and a thick leading edge is found. The ball swirls towards backward point where Ryan Rickelton seems to have lost the ball in the ring of fire for a moment, but keeps his calm and takes a good catch. Chapman falls two short of his half century and the 74-run partnership is cut short. 3-0-30-4 for Marco, these are Jansen's best bowling figures in T20Is.

Pushed full and on middle, Daryl Mitchell leans on and flicks it through the vacant mid-wicket region for a single.

Quicker delivery, short and on off, Santner backs away and punches it straight onto the stumps at the bowling end.

In front of the sticks, on a length, Mitchell Santner rocks back and eases it back to Maharaj.

Quicker and flatter, on the stumps, Mitchell Santner punches off the back foot to Markram at extra cover.

Outside leg, on a length, Mitchell Santner turns it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Slows it up through the air, on that in-between length. Daryl Mitchell presses back and dabs it with soft hands to the bowler. What an excellent over from Maharaj. Just a couple of singles from it.

Beaten! Across off, on a hard length. Santner fiddles with it, but the ball zips past the outside edge.

Into the surface again, on off, Mitchell hops and gets on top of the bounce. He punches it to backward point, where David Miller dives and makes a half-stop. Just a single.

OUT! CAUGHT! Daryl Mitchell holes out. This was coming. South Africa had managed to string dots after picking up the wicket of Mark Chapman, and the pressure has told. Angled into the right-hander, on the fuller side, on middle. Mitchell clears the front leg to pump it down the ground. The bat turns in his hand and the ball goes flat off the inner half of the bat, down to long on, where Tristan Stubbs takes a safe catch around his chest. Mitchell berates himself as he trudges off. Both set batters fall in quick succession for New Zealand.

Lands it on a good length, on off. Neesham taps it back on the strip.

On top of off, on a back of a length, James stays leg side and pats it to deep point for one.

Hits the hard length, does Ngidi, on off. Santner pushes it in front of mid off and scampers through for a quick single. A wicket and just 3 runs off the over. 5 runs and 2 wickets in the last 13 balls.

Going across off, on a back of a length, Santner knocks it off the back foot to extra cover. They cross. Aiden Markram slides to mop it up and as he slides, it is visible how wet the outfield is. 

Pitched up, on middle, Neesham firms the drive back towards the bowler. Bosch gets a hand on it and it is parried behind. Single taken.

A flash and a miss! Mitchell Santner is crossed with himself. On the shorter side, wide on off. Santner throws the kitchen sink at it, but connects with thin air.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! South Africa land another vital blow. With deep extra cover and deep backward point in place, Bosch keeps it full, outside off. Santner gives himself a bit of room to carve it on the off side by opening the bat face. He only gets the height and it goes towards deep point, where Ryan Rickelton sprints to his left from deep backward point and takes the catch before dropping on his knees. New Zealand have slipped to 145/7 from 138/4. Matt Henry is the new batter.

On middle and leg, on a back of a length. Henry drops it beside the strip on the leg side and crosses over.

Angling away, on a back of a length, on off, Neesham angles it behind point and keeps the strike with a single.

On a length, outside off, Neesham stands tall and drives it on the up through extra cover for a couple of runs.

Pace off, on a good length, on middle, Neesham taps it in front of point and gets to the other end. 150 comes up for New Zealand!

Four!

No run.
