Why is Ish Sodhi not playing for New Zealand vs South Africa in T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final?

Kolkata: New Zealand have benched star spinner Ish Sodhi in their semi-final clash against South Africa at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Revealing the reason behind the move, captain Mitchell Santner explained that it’s purely strategic as they preferred a pace-bowling all-rounder in James Neesham for Sodhi. Adding to that, Santner mentioned that on Sri Lankan pitches, playing an extra spinner made sense but the conditions at Eden is pretty different and that made them tweak the combination. “We've got one change from our Colombo game. It's probably not going to spin as much over as it did over there,…
