New Zealand received a 7-wicket shellacking from South Africa in a superb T20 World Cup 2026 Group D match. The bowlers were thrashed to all the parts of the Narendra Modi Stadium. In fact, chasing 172, the Proteas were 62 for none. However, Lockie Ferguson gave New Zealand some hope when he rattled Quinton de Kock with a superb change of pace. However, Ferguson won’t be there in the next must-win clash for the Kiwis as he heads back home.
The news is a celebratory one for the Ferguson family, as the tearaway pacer and his wife, Emma Ferguson, are set to welcome a new member into their life. The couple, who got married on February 2 two years ago, will be blessed with a newborn for the first time in their life. Hence, the New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has granted Lockie a parental leave.
“It’s an incredibly exciting time for Lockie and Emma and we’re pleased that he’ll be at home for such a special occasion,” said New Zealand head coach Rob Walter, supporting Ferguson’s leave.
“At this stage, we won’t be replacing Lockie in the squad, as the plan would be for him to return for the Super 8 phase of the tournament. But our travelling reserves Ben Sears and Cole McConchie are ready to be called into the squad should we need them.”
