“Unlucky at the end to be a part of losing team” - Rashid Khan as South Africa clinches dramatic win in a double Super Over

South Africa secured a nail-biting win in the second Super Over against Afghanistan in the 13th match of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, February 11.

Shifting our focus to the details of the game, South Africa posted 187/6 in 20 overs. In the chase, Afghanistan got all-out for 187 runs in 19.4 overs, levelling the scores. Star pacer Lungi Ngidi scalped an important three-wicket haul.

In the first Super Over, Lungi Ngidi was opted to bowl as Afghanistan posted 17/0. In the chase, South Africa also went on to level the score at 17/1, taking the game to a thrilling second Super Over.

In the second Super Over, South Africa posted a whopping 23 runs. In response, Afghanistan fell short by four runs as they could post 19 runs to lose the game in a dramatic manner.

"I've lost so much weight today. I've never been that stressed in my life in a cricket game. But I'm happy to come out on the winning side. I actually knew that I was probably going to be the option for the Super Over,” Lungi Ngidi, POTM, said after the game.

“So so unlucky at the end to be a part of losing team. But I think overall we have given all the efforts in the ground. And just a matter of the result, we haven't got the right result,” Afghanistan captain said after the match.

“There's a room for improvement, that we can be better and ultimately you are grateful for the win and for the points. Ultimately in Super Overs you're probably picking your most confident guy. The guy who has done really well throughout the game. It was Lungi. Didn't miss by much in that first over but they still got a really good total,” South African captain Aiden Markram said at the post-match presentation ceremony.
