South Africa vs Afghanistan, 13th Match, Group D, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Highlights

Azmatullah to Marco Jansen, out Caught by Sediqullah Atal!! Miscued in the air and gone! Pace off into the surface, a slower short ball and gets big on Jansen as he tries flat-batting down the ground. Takes a thick top-edge and Sediq takes it safely coming in from long-on. Marco Jansen c Sediqullah Atal b Azmatullah 16(7) [4s-2 6s-1]

Azmatullah to Marco Jansen, FOUR, attempted yorker is dispatched to the boundary! Only missed by a few inches but it's enough for Jansen who uses the bottom hand superbly to hammer it wide of long-off. One bounce and over the ropes!

Azmatullah to David Miller, SIX, this time Miller doesn't miss. Another slower ball on the wide line, he reaches out, holds his shape and lofts through the line over long-off. Previous ball he was trying to slog through the leg-side but this time he held his shape nicely

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Marco Jansen, SIX, goes pace off and disappears down the ground! Maybe that's why he was trying to look for the yorkers. Short of length just outside off, slower one and Jansen plays an incredible shot down the ground off the back foot. What a hit!

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Marco Jansen, FOUR, Farooqi needs to relook what he's trying to do. Again goes for the yorker, bowls it in the slot and Jansen creams it through extra cover. The ball is stopping in the surface and pace off might be a better option

Fazalhaq Farooqi to David Miller, FOUR, that's not a good delivery. Pace off into the surface is working well but Farooqi tries to look for a yorker and ends up giving a full toss. Effortlessly whipped wide of long-on for four

Azmatullah to Tristan Stubbs, out Caught by Mujeeb!! South Africa not getting the finish they would've wanted. Stubbs's turn to head back to the pavilion. Full and straight, he bends across to scoop and gets it off the inside edge to short fine. Mujeeb hangs on for a low catch to his right and Azmatullah finishes the over with his second wicket. Tristan Stubbs c Mujeeb b Azmatullah 1(2)

Azmatullah to Dewald Brevis, out Caught by Nabi!! Flat-batted straight to mid-off and Afghanistan get another wicket. The fightback continues. As expected, it's dug in short again, pace off from Azmatullah and Brevis tries muscling it with a tennis-style forehand down the ground. Doesn't strike it well enough to clear mid-off where Nabi takes a simple catch. Dewald Brevis c Nabi b Azmatullah 23(19) [4s-1 6s-1]

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Dewald Brevis, SIX, the top edge flies all the way! Unlucky for Farooqi! Good short ball across off, gets big on Brevis as he goes for the pull and the edge travels over short fine

Noor Ahmad to Dewald Brevis, FOUR, too full and hammered! Misses his length, bowls it right in the slot and Brevis makes some room before unleashing down the ground. Such a powerful blow to the boundary!

Rashid Khan to Ryan Rickelton, out Lbw!! Rickelton given out LBW and goes for the review! That's plumb in front! Round the wicket angle does the trick for Rashid and he's dismissed both the set batters in this over. Look at him leap in celebration. It's slides in off a good length, not sure if it was the googly but it didn't turn much and just came in with the angle. Rickelton tries clipping it away, misses and is pinned on the crease. Ball-tracking says it's hitting the top of middle. Ryan Rickelton lbw b Rashid Khan 61(28) [4s-5 6s-4]

Rashid Khan to de Kock, out Caught by Ibrahim Zadran!! Big fist pump from Rashid as he gets rid of de Kock! A massive 114-run partnership comes to an end. Pushed through flat on leg, it sits up from back of a length and de Kock looks to capitalise with the pull shot. Doesn't hit it well enough though. Goes flat and straight to Ibrahim at deep midwicket and it's a wicket Afghanistan desperately needed. de Kock c Ibrahim Zadran b Rashid Khan 59(41) [4s-5 6s-3]

Azmatullah to Ryan Rickelton, SIX, strays away from his plan and gets hammered! Full delivery angling down leg, easy pick-up shot for Rickelton with the kind of form he is in, whips it over midwicket and it sails over the ropes

Azmatullah to de Kock, 2 runs, pace off, short of length outside off, de Kock dabs it gently through backward point and charges back for the second. Puts in a desperate dive to make it inside the crease

Mujeeb to Ryan Rickelton, SIX, fifty for Rickelton as well- floaty back of the hand delivery outside off - Rickelton lunges forward, gets right under the length and then smotes it high over long-on - the fielder in the deep ran in and then went back, but he can only watch it go over his head

Mujeeb to de Kock, FOUR, cracking shot, dragged short by Mujeeb - de Kock picks the length early, swivels across and then pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary, brings up his fifty as well

Mujeeb to Ryan Rickelton, 1 run, tossed up outside off - Rickelton gets close to the ball and punches it down to long-on

Noor Ahmad to Ryan Rickelton, FOUR, too full, too wide and a fumble at extra-cover adds to Noor's woes - loopy delivery outside off and was driven hard - the fielder slid to his right and was undone by some awkward bounce

Noor Ahmad to Ryan Rickelton, FOUR, beautifully played, tossed up well wide of off - Rickelton leans forward, lets the ball come and then drives through the rise, finds the gap right of cover and the ball races away

Noor Ahmad to Ryan Rickelton, SIX, crunched, they're looking to attack Noor - too full and well wide of off, allows Rickelton to get underneath the ball and he then swipes it high over mid-wicket for a maximum

Noor Ahmad to de Kock, SIX, that's some welcome from de Kock - tossed up gently and well outside off, lets the left-hander free his arms and he then strikes it cleanly, high and over long-on for a maximum

Rashid Khan to Ryan Rickelton, FOUR, nicely played, Rickelton brings out the reverse sweep - gets down low, meets the ball on top of the bounce and then sweeps it over backward point

Rashid Khan to de Kock, FOUR, that's a mishit and Sediqullah has overrun it - Rashid doesn't look a happy man, tossed up on off and de Kock went through with the lofted drive, doesn't get hold of the shot and the ball drops in front of long-on

Nabi to Ryan Rickelton, SIX, clubbed, he doesn't miss out this time around - fraction too full and just outside off, Rickelton gets down low, onto his knee and then hammers the slog-sweep over wide long-on

Rashid Khan to de Kock, 1 run, tossed up on middle and leg, nudged in front of square on the on-side for a single

Rashid Khan to de Kock, SIX, beautifully played, wasd the attempted wronjg 'un from Rashid - but he's bowled it very full and right in the slot. de Kock backs away, opens up the off-side and then swings through the line, clearing long-off with ease

Nabi to de Kock, FOUR, cracking shot, fraction short and around off, de Kock backs away, opens up the off-side and finds the gap past backward point for a boundary

Azmatullah to Ryan Rickelton, FOUR, the boundaries are beginning to flow - Azmatullah drags the length back, but it's still wide of off and Ryan Rickelton drags the pull past mid-wicket- beats the fielder in the ring and runs away

Azmatullah to Ryan Rickelton, FOUR, nicely played, fuller length delivery and well wide of off, Azmatullah came from round the wicket and the width allows Rickelton to free his arms - driven over the leaping fielder at cover and the ball runs away to the ropes

Mujeeb to de Kock, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for de Kock - Mujeeb drags the length back, but there's width on off - de Kock stays on the front-foot as he punches it in front of square on the off-side for a boundary

Mujeeb to de Kock, SIX, clubbed, tad too full from Mujeeb, it's right in the slot and de Kock clears the front-foot on the shovel. He gets his left leg out of the way and hoists it high over long-on for a maximum

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Aiden Markram, out Caught by Nabi!! Chance and taken at mid-off - change of pace and that does the trick, was a slower ball at 112 kmph - drops onto Markram and he's way too early into the lofted drive, goes through with the sliced drive, got it right off the toe-end and scoops it up towards mid-off - Nabi gets under, waits on the ball and takes it with ease. An early strike and AFG will be happy with this start. Aiden Markram c Nabi b Fazalhaq Farooqi 5(8) [4s-1]

Mujeeb to de Kock, FOUR, cracking shot, tossed up just outside off - de Kock leans across, opens the face of the bat and then drives it up and over cover, runs away to the ropes in a hurry

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Aiden Markram, FOUR, lovely shot, overpitched and wide of off - Markram leans into the drive and finds the gap wide of cover for a boundary
