T20 World Cup 2026: Super Eights, Match 47, WI vs SA – Top 3 player battles to watch out for

The Super 8 clash between West Indies and South Africa at Ahmedabad will witness a battle between David Miller and Akeal Hosein. Interestingly, the two have never faced each other in T20Is. Miller has been in solid form this tournament and is coming off a counter-attacking 63 off 35 balls against India in Ahmedabad. Batting at No.5, he also registered unbeaten knocks of 24, 20, and 39, showcasing his finishing brilliance.

Hosein has been lethal with the new ball. He picked up 3/28 against Zimbabwe and has consistently struck in the powerplay, including figures of 1/25 and 1/30 in earlier games. The battle between the two during the middle overs will be interesting to watch as both players have the skillset to take the game away from the opposition.
