🏏ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026:M13: AFG vs SA, Ahmedabad 🏏 - Page 8

Ball 6 - Farooqi to Stubbs, SIX! What a shot. We will have another Super Over. What a game. I can't breathe. This is mental stuff. Absolutely mental. What a beautiful shot. Stubbs the man. A low full-toss on off, he gets forward and lofts, a flat hit and it clears Nabi who leaps but the ball sails away. Heads down in the Afghanistan camp. That is a fabulous shot. To get under that low full-toss and generate so much power needs unreal talent and Stubbs has it. Trott put his head down as it cleared the outstretched right hand of Nabi who leapt as much as he could. Rashid has his hands on his head unable to believe what has happened

It’s a second super over!!!

Is it great to be alive at 2.47pm in the middle of a Super Over or what? Remember Afghanistan need a win to stay alive provided these three teams beat UAE and Canada. If South Africa lose, they need to beat New Zealand to make it a three-way tie between these sides. The group of death has brought the tournament alive.

Wow! WOW! This is mental stuff. Multiply that by 1000. And still you can't make this up. Since Brevis has been out, he can't bat. Farooqi and Ngidi can't bowl. As they have bowled. South Africa will bat first in this 2nd Super Over. "The atmosphere electrifying" says the man Ravi Shastri who is on fire. Azmat will bowl. Miller and Stubbs the batters.

SIX by Stubbs--first ball!

Brewis can't bat since he was one of the batters out in the Super Over. Miller and Stubbs it is for South Africa. Here we go again. Farooqi won't be able to bowl.

Nepal match and then this one....so good!

Losing my sleep over here for this...and oh so worth it!

On comes the second Super Over

A recap of playing conditions. Dismissed batters can't bat again. New bowlers too. Change of ends as well. Now the leg side is the smaller boundary.

Azmatullah Omarzai to bowl, and Tristan Stubbs and David Miller to continue. Stubbs can claim the strike, though.

Ball one: Slower ball, on a length, and he has slogged it over midwicket for six. Two sixes in two balls for Stubbs.

23 is a lot. Gonna be really hard for AFG now. If only they wouldn't have gotten run out...we wouldn't have had these super overs.

SA is gonna win this for sure. 24 is a LOT of runs to make in 1 over

Ball 6 - Azmat to Miller, 2 runs,

Azmat over the wicket.

Ball 5 - Azmat to Miller, SIX! Six more. They are checking for a no-ball for height. A low full-toss and it's a fair delivery as it has dipped under the waist. Sliding into off, Miller heaves this way back over deep backward square-leg and it's six more. Can't bowl such balls to Miller at this stage

Ball 4 - Azmat to Miller, SIX! an off-pace length delivery on off, Miller gets forward and picks the bones out of this. Swings to leg and it sails way over deep mid-wicket. The bigger boundary but doesn't matter to Miller. 15/0

Ball 3 - Azmat to Miller, 2 runs, it's a short of length delivery outside off, Miller mistimes the pull to long-on, rolls slowly so they come back for two. 9/0

Azmat round the wicket to Miller.

Ball 2 - Azmat to Stubbs, 1 run, a wide if Stubbs had left that. A wide length delivery outside off, Stubbs reaches for it and hits it to extra-cover outside the ring. Just one

Ball 1 - Azmat to Stubbs, SIX! A slower-ball off-cutter and full outside off, Stubbs gets forward and drags it across the line, the shorter leg-side boundary and six over deep mid-wicket. What a start for South Africa. 6/0

24 runs required for AFG
