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

Kagiso Rabada to Noor Ahmad, out Fazalhaq Farooqi Run Out!! 1 run completed. What a game. We have a run-out. And Afghanistan have botched this. Full on middle, Noor Ahmad gets forward to drive and gets it wide of Jansen at long-off, easy two but somehow Fazalhaq Farooqi is slow. He is just short of the line with the bat in the air as Rabada collects the throw which was wide of the stumps. Lunges at the stumps, breaks it with his left-hand and catches Farooqi short. It's sent upstairs and we have the decision. Farooqi should've put in the dive but didn't and that cost him. To be fair Farooqi should've got in even without a dive as the throw was wide of the stumps. Credit to Rabada as well for lunging and breaking the stumps. We are now on to a Super Over. Fazalhaq Farooqi run out (Marco Jansen/Kagiso Rabada) 0(0)

Kagiso Rabada to Noor Ahmad, no ball, 2 runs, what poor cricket. Kagiso Rabada again overstepping. Over the line. Full on off, Noor Ahmad gets forward to drive and it's a thick inside-edge to deep mid-wicket, they take two and then the buzzer goes off. Markram has a chat with Rabada. For such an experienced bowler to overstep at this stage is criminal stuff

Kagiso Rabada to Noor Ahmad, no run, full on middle, Noor Ahmad knocks it to long-on, wants a run, Fazalhaq Farooqi is almost near Noor, then they decide against the run. So a dot

Kagiso Rabada to Noor Ahmad, SIX, this game is not over. An off-pace length delivery on middle, Noor Ahmad gets forward and pulls, hits it well and it clears the run and leap of deep square-leg to his left. A six and Afghanistan believe again

Kagiso Rabada to Noor Ahmad, no run, full and right up there on the stumps, Noor Ahmad gets forward and drives in the air, dropped by Jansen at long-off, but that won't matter. It's a free-hit and they don't run. Noor wants the strike

Kagiso Rabada to Noor Ahmad, wide, full and down leg, Noor Ahmad flicks and misses, a wide and the free-hit stays

Kagiso Rabada to Noor Ahmad, no ball, caught at cover but Kagiso Rabada has overstepped. A low full-toss on leg-stump, Noor Ahmad flicks across the line, the thick leading-edge loops to cover and Markram throws the ball away in delight. Only for the buzzer to go off. What drama. The game was over only for Afghanistan to still stay in it. Their dugout wear smiles

Kagiso Rabada to Rashid Khan, 1 run, that's the ball. Right up there, hint of tail back in, Rashid Khan gets forward to drive, the thick inside-edge runs away to deep mid-wicket

Kagiso Rabada to Rashid Khan, FOUR, what a shot. A fine yorker on off, Rashid Khan sinks low, opens the face of the bat and squeezes it so late, wide of short third man and runs away for a crucial four. Kagiso Rabada has a wry smile at Rashid who too responds in the same way

Kagiso Rabada to Rashid Khan, no run, slower-ball and the leg-cutter on a short of length outside off, Rashid Khan reaches for it to cut and finds extra-cover, straight to the fielder, a dot

Kagiso Rabada to Sediqullah Atal, out Caught by Marco Jansen!! Catching practice at short fine and AFG are losing wickets in a hurry. Sediqullah Atal though will feel mighty unlucky here - back of a length and angling into the left-hander, Sediqullah got inside the line and then flicked, was in the air and in the vicinity of Jansen - he slides across, uses his height and holds onto a fine two-handed catch. They've taken drinks with South Africa getting on top with three quick strikes. Sediqullah Atal c Marco Jansen b Kagiso Rabada 0(3)
