First blood on February 22: India takes on South Africa at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium from 7 PM. Proteas are flying high after dominating Group D, making this a mouthwatering top-vs-top clash.

Shifting to Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium on February 26 at 7 PM, India meets Zimbabwe. The African side’s shock win over Australia signals danger. India leads 10-3 in 13 T20s, but momentum swings fast in this format.
