🏏ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026:M13: AFG vs SA, Ahmedabad 🏏 - Page 4

Gurbaz started the innings with a four! Great start.

Lungi Ngidi to Gulbadin Naib, out Caught&Bowled!! The slower ball does the trick once again and Gulbadin Naib falls for a duck. Rolled his fingers across the seam, Naib was lunging forward on the defensive push, but the ball cuts back and catches the thick inside edge - lobs back at the bowler, but Ngidi still has work to do. He runs forward, dives and takes a two-handed blinder. Gulbadin Naib c and b Lungi Ngidi 0(2)

Lungi Ngidi to Gulbadin Naib, THATS OUT!! Caught&Bowled!!

AFG 52/2

Kagiso Rabada to Sediqullah Atal, out Caught by Marco Jansen!! Sediqullah Atal c Marco Jansen b Kagiso Rabada 0(3)

Kagiso Rabada to Sediqullah Atal, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

They lost another wicket. Despite the good start, they lost their way in the 4th over!

George Linde to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, SIX, Gurbaz is on a roll and he brings up his fifty in some style. tad too short from Linde, sits up to be smacked and Gurbaz doesn't miss out, makes room by backing away and then carves it over cover for a maximum

George Linde to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, no run, flighted delivery on middle and leg, defended back at the bowler

6

George Linde to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, SIX, hammered, too full from Linde - Gurbaz backs away and then lifts it back over the bowler's head. Went very high and very deep into the stands for a maximum

Common AFG win it

Rashid out. Gonna be very hard for them to win now

Marco Jansen to Noor Ahmad, SIX, my word! What a blow. Full and in the slot outside off, Noor Ahmad nails the loft, he gets forward and smashes it way over long-on. That came out of the screws. Afghanistan believe again.
