South Africa skipper Aiden Markram on Sunday said his team enters the T20 World Cup with confidence and self-belief boosted by their World Test Championship triumph last year. South Africa agonisingly lost the 2024 T20 World Cup final to India when needing 30 off the last 30 balls only to fall short by seven runs.

India A defeated Namibia by 130 runs in the final warm-up match before the T20 World Cup 2026 officially begins.

But it was Faheem Ashraf, whose 24 runs in the 19th over off Logan van Beek turned the table on Pakistan's head and as they eventually won the game by three wickets.
