In one of the most dramatic matches of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, South Africa defeated Afghanistan by the barest of margins in a rare double Super Over encounter at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium.
In a match that will be remembered for ages, it ended in a tie after both teams posted 187 in their allotted 20 overs. With nothing separating the sides, the match headed into a Super Over and the drama only intensified since then.
