SA vs AFG Match 13 Live Score - Ahmedabad (11 February 2026)

Begins with an in-drifter and floats it on the pads, Gurbaz tucks it wide of short fine leg and picks up a single.

 Rasooli is looking patchy with the big shots, luckily for him, this one doesn't carry to the fielder. Shortish length angled into the batter, Rasooli gets cramped for room but goes through with the pull and mistimes it short of deep square leg for one.

FOUR! Easy pickings for the set-batter. Flatter and darted into the body of the batter, Gurbaz sits down and brooms it to the right of deep backward square leg and picks up a boundary.

Full and fired in at the toes, swept away straight to short fine leg for a single.

Full and straight, swept away firmly to deep square leg for a single.

SIX! Just over! This is bowled full and flat around off, Rahmanullah Gurbaz is quick to lunge across and get inside the line. He then sweeps it hard and flat, nailing it over the leaping fielder at deep backward square leg for a biggie. 14 off Markram's first over and the gamble hasn't paid off for South Africa.

Short and outside off, Darwish Rasooli slaps it toward the right of point for a single.

SIX! CLUBBED AWAY! Pitches it up, does Maharaj, just outside off. Rahmanullah Gurbaz gets down on his knee and slogs it across the line over the long on region. Marco Jansen is the man patrolling the area, who leaps up high but the ball manages to escape the fingertips of the fielder.

OUT! TAKEN! Keshav Maharaj has got the big fish and the Proteas are all pumped up. This is tossed up, fuller, outside off, Rahmanullah Gurbaz crouches low and attempts to lash it over the sweeper cover, but ends up slicing it away to short third. George Linde dives to his left and takes a superb catch. Credit to the bowler who sucked Gurbaz into playing the big shot with the floater. The magnificent knock of Rahmanullah Gurbaz (84 off 42) has come to an end, and surely the Proteas will be happy to see his back. Afghanistan are now 121/4, needing 67 off 45 balls.

Flatter one, darted in towards middle stump, Azmatullah Omarzai stays back and blocks it off.

OUT! DARWISH RASOOLI IS RUN OUT! Oh, that is very ordinary running between the wickets. Keshav Maharaj bowls it flat and a bit full outside off. Azmatullah Omarzai stays low and dabs it to the left of point. The batters set off for the single but Azmat is ball-watching and realizes that there is no run on offer, and he turns back. Rasooli, however, is nearly at the keeper's end himself and the fielder throws it back to the wrong end. Quinton de Kock keeps his cool and throws the ball back to the bowler as Rasooli tries to scamper back. The dive is put in but the bails are dislodged and with the smart replay in place, the umpire raises his finger. Afghanistan are now 121/5, needing 67 off 43 balls.

Tossed up, on off, Azmatullah Omarzai drives it to cover.

OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND GONE! George Linde wasn't having a good day so far but this wicket will help his team. Linde comes over the wicket and pitches it up on leg, Nabi's eyes lit up as he quickly gets on his knee to slog-sweep but the ball darts in sharply and takes the top edge. High up and to cover it goes, where Aiden Markram takes the skier. 'Mr President' goes for just 5 runs to his name. 49 needed off 29 now.

Tosses it up, full and outside off. Khan punches it through covers for a single to get off the mark.

Oh, just out of Linde's reach! Linde bowls in the rough from over the wicket. Omarzai is tempted to whip it away as he leans in, but miscues it to the left of the bowler. George Linde puts in a full stretched dive to his left, but the ball is just out of his reach. 

FOUR! Khan shows how to play it! Fuller delivery, down leg, no turn this time and Rashid Khan nicely sweeps it behind square leg for a boundary. 

Shorter and on top of off, Khan cuts it late and to the right of the big Jansen, who dives across and keeps it down to one.

Serves it full, pace-off and outside off. Khan knocks it to cover and denies the run. 

FOUR! Cheeky, very cheeky! A peach of a yorker from Rabada, around off. Nothing wrong with the delivery but Khan shows his smartness as he bends down and guides it fine of short third for a boundary.

1 run.
