T20 World Cup 2026: SA vs AFG Match Goes to Double Super Over
Coming out to bat first, the South African cricket team posted a target of 187 runs for six wickets for Afghanistan. Rahmanullah Gurbaz led the chase for the Afghanistan cricket team with his stunning knock of 84 runs. While Gurbaz received a little support from the middle order, he was also backed by Rashid Khan, Azmatullah Omarzai, and Noor Ahmad, who struck some big shots to keep the team in the competition.
South Africa’s Kagiso Rabada had 12 runs to defend with just the last wicket left; however, two no-balls flipped the tables for the Afghanistan cricket team. All of a sudden, Afghanistan required 2 runs from 3 balls and had a free hit to come. It looked straightforward: get a run to draw the match and then score the winning run from the final two deliveries.
Instead, the team ended up chasing the second that was never there. The innings eventually ended in a run-out.
