Black Caps fast bowler Lockie Ferguson is expecting plenty of runs in their T20 World Cup semi-final against South Africa overnight

Black Caps fast bowler Lockie Ferguson is expecting plenty of runs in their T20 World Cup semi-final against South Africa overnight

4 March 2026

The 34-year-old is exceptionally familiar with the Eden Gardens venue, having played four seasons in the IPL for the local Knight Riders.

Ferguson says the smaller ground is a batter's paradise and fielding will play a huge part in determining the outcome.

First ball is at 2.30am overnight.
