अफगानिस्तान vs कनाडा, मैच 39, एमए चिदंबरम स्टेडियम, चेन्नई, 19 February 2026 - हाइलाइट्स

FOUR! Gets it in the gap, does Saad Bin Zafar. Mujeeb drags it down over off and middle, Zafar goes deep in the crease and muscles it between long on and deep mid-wicket for a boundary.

Flatter one outside off, cut away behind point for a single.

Shortish length on leg, Thaker tucks it down to short fine leg for one.

Short, outside off, Saad Bin Zafar goes back and punches it through the covers for a single.

Outside off, punched towards long off for a run.

Fuller, around off, drilled back past the bowler for a couple.

OUT! CAUGHT! Mohammad Nabi is showing he's still got it, a third wicket for him in this game. Nabi comes around the wicket and bowls it bit round-arm, creating an angle from wide of the crease. This is floated up around leg stump and Harsh Thaker looks to sweep it away. The ball comes slower off the deck and the top edge is found. The ball lobs up behind short fine leg, where Mujeeb Ur Rahman back-pedals and reverse-cups it over his head. 100 more needed off 29 balls.

Pushed through quicker on middle and leg, Dilon Heyliger blocks it down the pitch.

Good length around leg, Dilon Heyliger goes down to slog sweep but ends up wearing it on the body.

Tosed up, around middle, Dilon Heyliger comes down the track but is not to the pitch of the ball. Gets a thick inside edge onto the pads.

Shorter around off, Heyliger pulls it through mid-wicket for a single to get off the mark.

GONE DOWN THE LEG SIDE? No, says the umpire. Review not taken. Down the leg side, Saad Bin Zafar looked to flick but missed. There was a noise as the ball went past the bat and the keeper celebrated with an appeal. Later on, smiled while talking to the batter. A run and a wicket from the over, Mohammad Nabi's bowling figures read 3-0-5-3 so far.

Drags the length back and darts the googly into the pads, does Rashid. Dilon Heyliger fails to pull it away as the ball stays a touch low.

Shorter in length and over middle, Heyliger rocks back and forces the flat-batted shot down to long on for a single.

Fractionally short and straighter, turning back in. Saad Bin Zafar hangs back and jams the pull in front of square leg for one more.

A short ball, outside off, Dilon Heyliger pulls it through mid-wicket for a single.

OUT! BOWLED! Simple as you like. Tossed up, outside off, Saad Bin Zafar looks to hit it through the off side but the ball lands and then spins back in viciously, to go past the bat and hit the timber. Second wicket for the champion and Zafar's fight ends. 101/5 becomes 105/7 in the span of 11 balls.

Full and around off, Jaskarandeep Singh lunges to defend. A wicket and 3 runs from the over, Rashid Khan finishes with bowling figures of 4-0-19-2.

OUT! CAUGHT! Oh dear... nearly a big collision but all's well that ends well. Mohammad Nabi stays around the wicket to the right-hander and floats it up on a nagging length on leg. Dilon Heyliger stays deep in the crease, looks for the slog but miscues it badly. The ball gets sliced up high towards backward point where Abdullah Ahmadzai seems to be settling under it. However, the keeper Rahmanullah Gurbaz calls for it and runs after it. Ahmadzai doesn't hear his call, or didn't want to hear it and snatches the catch just before Gurbaz can pouch it in his gloves. Gurbaz is down on the deck and Ahmadzai is looking perplexed at him. Nabi has his fourth and everyone else can see the funny side of Gurbaz's fall.

Flatter one on the pads, tapped across to mid-wicket.

Slightly short on middle, worked away from inside the crease andthrough backward square leg for a single.

DROPPED! Rahmanullah Gurbaz, of all the people, has denied the President a fifer. And everyone is seeing the funny side of it, except Gurbaz. In fact, he is so furious that he has taken his helmet off and furiously flung it onto the ground. Full, around middle and leg, Jaskarandeep Singh looked to play the slog sweep but was early into the shot. The ball came on slowly and took the top edge. Went straight up and behind the sticks. The keeper, Gurbaz charged back towards the ball, while short fine leg got across to his right for the catch as well. In the end, Gurbaz called for the catch and the short fine leg fielder backed off. However, despite getting to the ball, Gurbaz could not hang on!

On middle and leg, holds on the surface, Jaskarandeep looks to flick, but gets a leading edge towards cover.

Short, around middle, Singh gets down and pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a single. 2 runs and a wicket from the over and Jaskarandeep Singh goes across to congratulate Nabi for his outstanding bowling spell - 4-0-7-4! Excellent spirit of cricket. Also, these are the best bowling figures in a T20 World Cup for Nabi.

A yorker aimed in at the toes, Jaskarandeep Singh gives the charge but fails to dig it out and the ball goes through to the keeper.

Another one from Ahmadzai, right around the toes. Jaskarandeep Singh fails to dig it out again and gets nutmegged as well.

FOUR LEG BYES! Oh, unlucky for the bowler. Another yorker, tailing back into the legs. Jaskarandeep Singh gets the front leg out of the way and squeezes it past the keeper, into the fine leg fence. Hang on, Afghanistan have reviewed this one for LBW. There wasn't much of an appeal to begin with, but the third umpire is called in. Initial replays suggest that the ball missed the inside edge and came right off the pads. Ball Tracking shows that the ball actually pitched outside the line of leg stump. It stays Not Out and it will be leg byes instead of runs.

Around off, swung down towards long on and this is interesting. Number 9 denies the strike to a number 10!

SIX! SPANKED! And that is why Jaskarandeep Singh refused the single on the previous ball. On a length, around off, Jaskarandeep Singh gets deep in his crease and swings it powerfully over mid-wicket. The ball travels flat but crosses the ropes.

Almost a yorker, following the batter down the leg side, Singh looks to swing hard but misses. The ball goes beneath his legs through to the keeper.

Just back of a length, over off and middle, Patel camps back and just nudges it down to point.

Oh, that's right on the money from Rahman. A straight yorker, lands it right on the popping crease around middle stump, Ansh Patel does well to di it out towards cover.

A run out chance, missed! Slower one, fuller on the pads, Patel works it to short mid-wicket and sets off for the single. The fielder has a shy at the bowler's end but misses.

Pace off, short in length outside off, Jaskarandeep Singh looks to cut but is early into his shot and misses.

Pace off again, this time on a fuller length. On leg stump, angling down, Singh is early into his swing and nearly goes through with the shot, but at the last moment, manages to stab it down the deck.

CANADA OVERTURN AN LBW DECISION! These two teams have to be playing each other in backyard cricket. Haven't seen such sportsmanship in international cricket. Everyone is smiling. Bowler, batter, keeper and even the umpire. Full and straight, almost a yorker, aroun off and middle, Jaskarandeep Singh looked to clear his front leg out of the way and swing the ball over the leg side. But he was beaten for pace this time, as the ball was quick. It thumped into his front pad and the bowler appealed for LBW. Up went the umpire's finger in a flash. Now, the batter immediately took the review and immediately, the bowler burst out laughing, also shaking hands and embracing the batter. However, on the review, the Ball Tracking showed the ball to be missing leg stump! Great scenes all around. AFGHANISTAN WIN BY 82 RUNS!
