South Africa vs Afghanistan T20 World Cup 2026 Highlights: South Africa clinched a sensational victory over Afghanistan after two dramatic Super Overs overs in a thrilling T20 World Cup 2026 Group D clash in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. South Africa posted a total of 187/6 in 20 overs after being put into bat, led by half-centuries from Ryan Rickelton (61) and Quinton de Kock (59). Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s 84 wasn’t enough as Afghanistan were bowled out for 187 in 19.5 overs, in a last over that featured two no-balls by Kagiso Rabada. SA’s Lungi Ngidi, who took three wickets in the regular match, conceded 17 runs in the first Super Over as Afghanistan’s Azmatullah Omarzai smashed two sixes and a four. However, against the odds, Tristan Stubbs smashed a maximum off the final ball to force a second Super Over. Stubbs and David Miller then hammered three sixes against Omarzai in total to post 24 in the second Super Over. Gurbaz needed to hit four sixes in the final four balls, and nearly pulled off the improbable with three consecutive sixes, but got out on the final ball. As a result, Afghanistan have now lost both of their opening Group D games, while New Zealand and South Africa are in pole position to qualify with two wins from two.
