South Africa stunned Ahmedabad into silence as they took down India in style in their T20 World Cup 2026 Super Eight game on Sunday night. Here's how the match played out, in numbers.
76 - India's margin of defeat against South Africa was their second-poorest in terms of runs in men's T20Is, behind the 80-run loss to New Zealand in Wellington in 2019.
This was also the first time that India had suffered a defeat by 50-plus runs at the men's T20 World Cup. Their previous biggest was by 49 runs against Australia in 2010.
12 - Consecutive wins for India in men's T20 World Cups before losing to South Africa. The streak began after their loss to England in the semi-final of the 2022 edition, and became the longest winning streak for any team in this competition.
17 - Sunday's defeat also ended India's record 17 consecutive wins in ICC men's limited-overs tournaments - ODI and T20 World Cups along with the Champions Trophy. Their previous defeat was to Australia in the 2023 ODI World Cup final, also in Ahmedabad.
14-7 - India's win-loss record while chasing in men's T20 World Cups after the latest defeat. The only team with a better win-loss record in this competition is Australia, who have won 22 and lost 10. India's record while chasing in the T20 World Cup since 2012 has risen to 12-2, with their only other defeat in a chase during this period coming against New Zealand in 2016.
33 - Wickets for Jasprit Bumrah in men's T20 World Cups, the most for India, going ahead of R Ashwin (32) and Arshdeep Singh (32).
11 - Ducks by India's batters in this World Cup so far are the most for any team. They are also the most for India in an edition of the men's T20 World Cup, going past the six in 2024.
111 for 2 - South Africa's score in the middle overs (7-16) against India on Sunday. Only New Zealand (116 for 0 vs Canada) scored more in this phase in an innings in this tournament. The 111 runs are also the joint-highest that India have conceded in the middle overs in a men's T20 World Cup game. Australia made 111 for 2 against India in the semi-final of the 2007 edition.
12 - Number of consecutive men's T20Is that England have won against Sri Lanka, since the nine-run defeat in May 2014. Only three teams have had longer winning streaks against an opponent in men's T20Is - Uganda (17 vs Rwanda and 13* vs Nigeria), Pakistan (15 vs Zimbabwe) and Nigeria (13* vs Sierra Leone).
England also extended their dominant record against Sri Lanka at the men's T20 World Cups to 6-1. Only India (8 vs Pakistan, including a bowl-out win) have won more matches against an opponent in this competition.
3 - Player-of-the-Match awards for Will Jacks in this tournament. Shane Watson (four in 2012) and Sikandar Raza (three in 2022) are the others with three or more match awards in an edition of the men's T20 World Cup.
5 - Wickets that Sri Lanka lost in the powerplay against England in Pallekele. These are the joint-most wickets that Sri Lanka have lost in a powerplay in men's T20Is. It is the second time that England have picked up five wickets in the first six overs after doing so against Afghanistan in 2012.
95 - Sri Lanka's total against England is their second-lowest at home in men's T20Is, behind the 94 all out against Bangladesh in Dambulla last year.
51 - England's second-biggest win by runs in men's T20 World Cups, behind the 116-run win against Afghanistan in 2012.
