In fact, the Narendra Modi Stadium has become an inpenetrable stronghold for the Proteas: five of South Africa’s six games at the tournament have come at this venue. And they have won all of them, including the game against co-hosts India and now West Indies, ending both teams’ unbeaten runs in the process.
