India ride Kishan, Hardik heroics to beat SA in T20 WC warmup match

Navi Mumbai, Feb 4 (UNI) In a high-scoring ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 warm-up encounter here on Wednesday, India rode on inspirational batting performances from Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya to register a convincing 30-run victory over South Africa at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy.
While several performances stood out in a run-fest of a match, it was the fearless strokeplay of Ishan Kishan at the top and the explosive finishing by Hardik Pandya that set the tone for India’s dominance. Batting first after winning the toss, India amassed a daunting 240 for six in their allotted 20 overs.
Kishan provided the early momentum with a breathtaking 53 off just 20 balls, smashing seven sixes and two fours to dismantle the South African bowling during the powerplay. His aggressive intent ensured India raced to 83 runs in the first six overs, putting immediate pressure on the opposition.
