Sunday’s T20 World Cup 2026 blockbuster at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi features South Africa taking on Zimbabwe, starting 3:00 PM and ending 8:00 PM. To accommodate crowds, traffic management ramps up from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM across key arterial roads near the venue.
Authorities have detailed a comprehensive plan: diversions on Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg and JLN Marg where required. Heavy vehicles prohibited from Daryaganj to Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg and Guru Nanak Chowk to Asaf Ali Road. The public is encouraged to use alternate paths to ease pressure.
Watch for bottlenecks on JLN Marg from Rajghat to Delhi Gate through Kamla Market Roundabout, Asaf Ali Road between Turkman Gate and Delhi Gate, and Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg from Delhi Gate to Ramcharan Agarwal Chowk. Railway commuters to New Delhi Station, prepare for delays at ITO Chowk—advance planning is essential.
The Proteas are semifinal-bound, boasting Super-8 victories: a 76-run demolition of India and a 9-wicket rout of West Indies. Zimbabwe, with nothing to lose post-elimination, faces a daunting history—zero T20 wins over South Africa.
As fans flock to witness potential upsets, Delhi’s traffic grid braces for impact. Follow live updates from traffic police for the smoothest journey to and from the stadium.
