South Africa make four changes and ask UAE to bat

You have reached ESPN's Australian edition. Stay on current site or go to US version.

South Africa have won the toss and chosen to bowl first against UAE in their T20 World Cup 2026 match on what captain Aiden Markram called a tacky pitch in Delhi. UAE captain Muhammad Waseem said he wanted to bowl first as well.

Weather also played a part in his decision – there was a drizzle just ten minutes before the toss, which forced parts of the ground to be covered.

Having already secured their place in the Super Eight, South Africa made four changes, pretty much emptying out their bench, mainly giving their premier bowlers a rest. They brought in Jason Smith, Kwena Maphaka and Anrich Nortje for their first games of the tournament, and also brought George Linde back. They left out David Miller, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj and Lungi Ngidi.

South Africa have chased down a victory target of 123 with 40 balls to spare to finish the group stage of cricket's Twenty20 World Cup unbeaten.

South Africa opted to field first and restricted United Arab Emirates to 6-122 on Wednesday with veteran pace bowlers Corbin Bosch returning 3-12 from four overs and Anrich Nortje taking 2-28.

The South Africans raced to 4-123 in 13.2 overs, taking the last seven runs in singles after their fourth wicket fell.

South Africa fire Super Eights warning to India with UAE romp

New Delhi (AFP) – South Africa sent a T20 World Cup warning to co-hosts India after romping to a six-wicket win over the United Arab Emirates in New Delhi on Wednesday.

After restricting the Emiratis to 122-6 on a pitch enlivened by morning rain, South Africa raced to 123-4 in just 13.2 overs to complete a perfect group phase with four wins out of four.

Next up for Aiden Markram's side is a repeat of the 2024 final against India in Ahmedabad on Sunday in their first match of the Super Eights.

India won the final in Barbados to lift the trophy and are firm favourites to repeat on home soil.

South Africa bowl, bring Bosch back

You have reached ESPN's Australian edition. Stay on current site or go to US version.

South Africa sought to become the first team to mount a successful chase in a night game in this World Cup as they elected to bowl after winning the toss against New Zealand. They made one change from their last match, a morning match, bringing in Corbin Bosch for George Linde. New Zealand were unchanged.

Thanks to their wins over Afghanistan already, both South Africa and New Zealand are almost assured of progress into the Super Eights from this group of death. Thanks to pre-seeded fixtures in the next round, this match doesn't have much on the line apart from competitiveness among two solid T20 teams.

Canada bowl against pace-heavy South Africa

You have reached ESPN's Australian edition. Stay on current site or go to US version.

Canada captain Dilpreet Bajwa won the toss and asked South Africa to bat in their World Cup opener in Ahmedabad.

South Africa have opted for a pace-heavy attack. Keshav Maharaj slots in as their only spinner, alongside the speedy quartet of Marco Jansen, Corbin Bosch, Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi. Tristan Stubbs also begins the tournament at the No. 6 spot – a position Jason Smith had occupied in their last T20I, while Stubbs had slid down to No. 7. Smith is in the World Cup squad but did not find a spot in South Africa's starting eleven.

East Gippsland Water has donated 100 bales of desperately needed silage hay to farmers in the Longwood region who were recently affected by devastating bushfires.

The silage was grown, harvested and baled at East Gippsland Water’s Bruce’s Track property, near Swan Reach.

The site acts as a major facility for the storage and reuse of recycled water, which is used to irrigate hay-producing pasture.

It is part of a 479-hectare area managed for sustainable water reuse.

South Africa fielded four seamers and two spinners as they began their final T20 World Cup 2026 preparation with most of their first choice players.

Lhuan-dre Pretorius was carded to open the batting with Aiden Markram, with Ryan Rickelton slotted in at No.3. Jason Smith was given the opportunity to play the finishing role with David Miller out of the series with a groin injury.

Shai Hope missed out for West Indies due to a groin niggle, while Shamar Joseph also did not find a spot in the playing XI.

South Africa to rest trio in first Twenty20 International against West Indies

South Africa will be without the victorious Sunrisers Eastern Cape trio of Quinton de Kock, Marco Jansen and Tristan Stubbs when they start their T20 International series against the West Indies in Paarl on Tuesday.

Pongal 2026: 9 traditional South Indian dishes for Pongal celebrations

Pongal is the harvest festival of Southern India and this year it will be celebrated on 14 January. It is a festival of heartfelt thanksgiving to the Sun God, the earth, and the cattle for abundance and prosperity. Celebrated in South India, the festival revolves around kolams, rituals and traditional feast. Here are a few traditional South Indian dishes that make Pongal celebrations even more delicious.

It is one of the most important dishes and is made with moong dal, rice, jaggery, ghee, cashews, raisins, and aromatic cardamom. It is traditionally made outdoors in earthen pots.

It is the savoury version of pongal, where rice and lentils are cooked in ghee along with black pepper, cumin, ginger, and curry leaves and is served with coconut chutney and sambar.

Date & time, Bhogi Pandigai & Sankranti timing, rituals, cultural significance

Bhogi Pandigai in 2026 will be celebrated on Tuesday, 13 january 2026. It is observed one day before Makar Sankranti/Pongal, marking the first day of the four‑day Sankranti/Pongal festival cycle in tamil Nadu, andhra pradesh, and Telangana.

Bhogi is essentially the lead‑in festival to Sankranti, celebrated the day before the solar event.

Bhogi (also called Bhogi Pandigai) is an ancient harvest festival rooted in renewal, positivity, and gratitude. It is widely celebrated in Tamil Nadu, andhra pradesh, Telangana, and parts of Karnataka as the opening ritual of Sankranti/Pongal festivities.

The name “Bhogi” itself reflects the spirit of the day — letting go of old things, old habits, and negativity to make space for new beginnings, prosperity and joy.

'South Park' drops into 'Fortnite' on Jan. 9 with Quints, Cartmanland, and more

After spending 2025 satirizing President Donald Trump's administration, South Park kicks off 2026 with a new chapter: a Fortnite collab.

Launching Friday, Jan. 9, and running until Thursday, Feb. 5, Fortnite's South Park: Born in Chaos crossover event ushers in a whole host of new features. Players can don Cartman, Kyle, Stan, Kenny, and Butters mech suit outfits in Fortnite's shop. (Meaning, yes, you can kill Kenny over and over again.) They can also explore a new Point of Interest in Cartman's own personal theme park, Cartmanland.

In a major development, the South Park crossover introduces Quints, a five-player playlist that lets you add a new member to your squad. That's great news for South Park's Butters, who, in the collab's announcement video, finally gets to play Fortnite with his buddies instead of remain stuck as the fifth wheel.

South Park is coming to Fortnite on Friday, but this is not the sort of Fortnite collab that only adds skins to the item shop–though we're certainly getting a pile of skins. No, South Park is also taking over Fortnite's Battle Royale mode by introducing several major new gameplay overhauls (and we mean major) and taking over one of the major named locations on the map. Also, there's a completely free event pass that'll allow players to earn free South Park cosmetics by completing quests–yes, you'll actually have to play the game to earn these things.

‘South Park’ Enters the Fortnite Universe With ‘Born in Chaos’

Epic Games released a trailer this week that has the Comedy Central show's heroes dropped into the gaming battle royale.

South Park’s ratings-smashing, politically charged latest back-to-back seasons may have just concluded, but the show’s fans don’t have to say goodbye to the Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny (and Butters!) entirely, because this week they are set to make their Fortnite debut with South Park: Born in Chaos.

On Friday, outfits for South Park’s four central characters (and Butters!) are coming to the Fortnite Shop, meaning fans who are also immersed in the massively popular game platform can play as their favorite character from the long-running animated series — or as a large, hulking figure with one of the characters riding on top.

Ahead of the T20I series against SA, India's captain says Hardik Pandya will bring balance to the side (3:06)

Since contesting a nail-biting T20 World Cup final in 2024, India and South Africa have gone in different directions in T20Is. India have arguably become an even better team since lifting that trophy, achieving a 26-4 record (24 outright wins and two Super Over wins) with a brand of play perfectly suited to the conditions they will defend their title in February-March 2026. South Africa, meanwhile, have won nine and lost 16 of their T20Is since that day in Barbados.

Team India arrive in Cuttack for T20Is | Fans will miss Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma

The Goa nightclub tragedy exposed a chilling truth: the club was never designed to save lives. On December 7th, a fire erupted inside Birch by Romeo Lane, trapping guests and staff in a maze of blocked exits, sealed basements, narrow staircases, and smoke-filled glass rooms. The venue, constructed on a salt pan, had just one accessible road for fire trucks. Of the three exits, only one worked. The basement had no ventilation and no functional escape route, turning it into a suffocation chamber. Panic spread as guests smashed glass and collapsed from smoke inhalation. By the time emergency teams broke through the bottlenecked access lane, 25 people were dead. This video uncovers the structural flaws, the ignored rules, the slow rescue, and the horrifying chain of events that turned a party into a catastrophe.

India Vs South Africa, 1st ODI: Jaiswal Out, Rohit Survives, Kohli Edges First Ball – Relive Burger's Chaotic Over

India got off to a brisk start in the first ODI against South Africa at Ranchi, scoring nine runs in the opening over

Nandre Burger struck back in his second over, dismissing Jaiswal and putting early pressure on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma

Kohli and Rohit stabilized the innings, with Kohli hitting an early four and Rohit surviving a close catch

A rollercoaster of an over from Nandre Burger defined the early stages of the Indian innings in the first ODI against South Africa at the JSCA International Stadium Complex, Ranchi, on Sunday (November 30, 2025).

Asked to bat first by the Proteas, India benefitted from Marco Jansen's wayward bowling. The tall left-arm pacer was the wrecker-in-chief in the preceding Test series, which the visitors won 2-0.

Bro Is Playing Test Cricket: Netizens Slam Yashasvi Jaiswal After Getting Out Cheaply During IND vs SA 2nd

The second ODI between India and South Africa in Raipur turned into an unexpectedly frustrating outing for young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who found himself targeted by netizens after a sluggish knock of 22 from 38 balls. With regular opener Shubman Gill unavailable for the match, the stage was wide open for Jaiswal to step forward and cement his place at the top. Instead, he struggled to find rhythm on a surface that demanded patience but also punished indecision.

Fans expressed disappointment at what they felt was a missed golden opportunity. Many pointed out that Jaiswal, known for his fearless strokeplay, looked unusually tentative, failing to rotate strike and allowing pressure to mount.

IND Opener Big Weakness Exposed in 2nd ODI!

Yashasvi Jaiswal was once seen as the unlucky player who never got a proper chance in the ODI team. Fans believed he deserved more time in the middle. Now that he finally has it, his form is slipping, and the second ODI against South Africa exposed a few concerns.

Jaiswal fell to a pull shot off Marco Jansen after getting set. Out of 38 balls, 29 were dots, giving him a dot ball percentage of 76.3 percent. Since the 2023 World Cup, this is the second highest among openers from full member Test nations who have faced at least 35 balls.

A clear trend is emerging. In his last six ODI innings, Jaiswal has been bowled by left arm pacers five times, and Jansen alone has dismissed him four times. His struggles against this angle now stand out more than ever.
