“We are delighted to host Sri Lanka for the first time in our history. This event reflects the strength of our collaboration with the Sri Lanka Cricket Board, and we are committed to further strengthening our relationship to provide a high-quality cricket experience in the future.

The Sri Lanka board is also equally excited for the series. The ODI series could be an issue for several Afghanistan players, who are expected to be part of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, potentially beginning on March 26.

“Additionally, the series is fundamental to our mission as we begin to further build our team and enhance key areas that need improvement. Our primary goal is to prepare the team for the major ICC and ACC events and the numerous bilateral commitments scheduled over the next two years.” Naseeb was informed in the same press release.

“Bilateral cricket is an important element in international cricket, and we are extremely happy to be a part of this historic tour, as this is the first time Sri Lanka is engaging in a bilateral series hosted by Afghanistan.” CEO of the SLC, Ashley De Silva, addressed. 

Sri Lanka’s tour of Afghanistan 2026

Afghanistan’s outgoing coach, Jonathan Trott, has spoken about his time with the team. His time as head coach of Afghanistan ended after the team was knocked out of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026.

This was Afghanistan’s second win in this edition of the tournament. However, they lost to New Zealand and South Africa at the start. Because of those losses, Afghanistan did not qualify for the Super Eights stage.

It was Trott’s final match as head coach. He led the team for more than three years. During this time, the team performed very well. One of their biggest achievements was reaching the semi-finals of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 in the USA and the Caribbean.

Trott said he has many great memories from his time with the team. He was happy to see the players grow as individuals and as a team.

Trott Feels Grateful After His Final Match

“I always feel very fortunate to have many memories as a player and now as a coach,” Jonathan Trott said.

He spoke about special wins during his time with Afghanistan. He remembered the win against Pakistan in Chennai in a 50-over World Cup match. He also talked about beating England and winning two matches in St. Vincent. He said these were special World Cup moments.

Trott also said the team achieved many other good results. They won bilateral series and recorded first-time wins against Pakistan, Bangladesh away from home, and South Africa. He said these were important steps for the team.

He added, “I feel very fortunate to have coached great players and good people. They are a good group of players, but there are still areas to improve.”

Plans for the Future

Trott said the team needs to improve its fast bowling. He explained that the team depends a lot on spin bowlers. He said they must develop more seam bowlers to support the spinners.

He also said this will help the team in different conditions, like the 2027 World Cup in South Africa and Namibia. He believes the team is improving its batting strength as well.

Trott said if the seam bowlers improve, the team will be able to compete better around the world.

Afghanistan produced a commanding all-round performance to crush Canada by 82 runs in their Group D match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026. Afghanistan's batting lineup wasted no time in asserting their authority from the start of the match. The team's approach to batting was tactical, scoring 200 runs for 4 wickets, which Canada had little hope of chasing down on a surface that favoured disciplined batting. The innings was anchored by Ibrahim Zadran, who scored an unbeaten 95 runs with an excellent mixture of timing and power; Rahmanullah Gurbaz got the innings off to a rapid start, while Sediqullah Atal kept the run-rate up with his fluent strokeplay in the middle overs, giving the bowlers a substantial amount of runs to defend. 

In their attempt to chase down the target, Canada was never able to establish a rhythm; although Harsh Thaker and Saad Bin Zafar were able to provide some resistance early in the innings, the fall of wickets at regular intervals broke the flow of the innings, putting an unrealistic target on the scoreboard for Canada's remaining batters. Afghanistan's bowlers applied consistent pressure on the Canadian batsmen, bowling consistently tight lines and changing their variations effectively, which meant that partnerships could not be built. By the halfway mark of the innings, it had become apparent that the game had already been lost, forcing Canada's batters to play unnecessarily aggressive shots, only increasing the likelihood of losing wickets. The disciplined execution by Afghanistan's fielders demonstrated their tactical intelligence and intent to close the game out without giving an opposition player even a glimmer of hope of a comeback.

With a brilliant 4/7 performance that tore through the middle order and snuffed out any last remnant of hope for the opposition, Mohammad Nabi delivered the decisive blow to win the match, while captain Rashid Khan provided the ideal support with his probing variations and control. Together they showed experience and depth to dominate every dimension of the match and their performance was a clear example of both, experience and depth, when put under pressure. The tone of their emphatic win demonstrated a nice balance of both aggression and discipline, further demonstrating why Afghanistan are perceived as a dangerous side throughout the tournament. In comparison, Canada fell well short of either intensity or consistency and the result illustrated, in no uncertain terms, the loss of execution between the two sides.

Afghanistan produced a commanding display to defeat Canada by 82 runs in their Group D clash of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, delivering one of the tournament’s most dominant performances. Afghanistan began the match, put up an amazing score by batting 1st scoring 200/4 runs, Afghanistan played aggressively and accelerated throughout their innings. The overall total was too much for Canada to chase down due to not only the total being large but also due to the pitch favoring disciplined bowling. Throughout the match, Afghanistan controlled the game by displaying explosive batting while mastering strategic thinking to show dominance and finish their overall season strongly.

The backbone of each Afghanistan batting performance was Ibrahim Zadran who scored an amazing and well deserved 95 not out after providing poise and power through his striking with proper timing and execution; obtaining runs through boundaries while protecting their wickets. At the beginning of the innings Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored a solid 30 runs to provide a quick start to Afghanistan, and Sediqullah Atal scored an aggressive 44 runs to continue to build momentum through the mid innings phase of the match. Afghanistan capitalized on the Canadian bowlers with aggressive late runs, while being able to continue to rotate the strike throughout their innings.

 While Canada offered some brief resistance due to Harsh Thaker and Saad Bin Zafar, there was no real momentum behind the Canadian chase. The early wickets hurt their chances & the required run rate continued to climb out of control. Afghanistan's bowlers created pressure on Canada all through the innings by continually getting wickets at regular intervals and preventing any significant partnerships from forming. The discipline of Afghanistan's lines & the cleverness of their variations made it impossible for Canada to find a way back into the game. By the halfway mark, the contest had basically turned into a near de facto victory for Afghanistan as Canada was forced to resort to risky strokes that resulted in further deteriorating Canada's chances of success while only strengthening Afghanistan's position in the match.

Afghanistan's clinical bowling seals dominance win against Canada

Mohammad Nabi was the star bowler, producing a brilliant 4 for 7 result against the Canadian middle-order. He demonstrated good control and used subtle variation in speed to make it difficult for the Canadian batters to approach the chase, rendering it almost a formality. Captain Rashid Khan complemented his effort well, claiming two wickets with multiple variations and thus outsmarting batters attempting to attack. Their combined control meant that Canada would not be close to reaching the target, adding to Afghanistan’s strength and experience under pressure through the entire innings.

In the end, the overall margin of victory was indicative of how much better Afghanistan was than Canada in all facets of play. Batting featured a mix of patience and power, while the bowling performed its plans with accuracy. This victory not only demonstrated Afghanistan’s ability but also showcased the team’s capacity to dominate when they have the advantage of conditions that match their submissions. Canada struggled to attain the level of intensity and consistency needed for the caliber of play they were facing. Afghanistan’s authoritative performance was a definitive statement about their ability to win games through disciplined execution and collective awareness of what was happening.

Key Moments

The turning point came during the middle overs of Canada’s chase, when Mohammad Nabi ripped through the lineup with a stunning spell that reduced them from a steady position to deep trouble. His quick strikes removed set batters and exposed the lower order, halting any chance of recovery. Earlier, Afghanistan’s surge between overs 10 and 18 with the bat shifted momentum decisively, as boundaries flowed and the total surged past 190. Once the required rate crossed double digits, Canada were forced into high-risk shots, leading to regular wickets and effectively sealing the contest long before the final over.

Top Performances

The match belonged to Ibrahim Zadran, whose unbeaten 95 anchored the innings with a blend of composure and controlled aggression, ensuring Afghanistan posted a daunting total. He found strong support from Sediqullah Atal’s fluent 44 and a brisk start by Rahmanullah Gurbaz. With the ball, Nabi’s four-wicket masterclass and captain Rashid Khan’s tidy two-wicket spell highlighted Afghanistan’s bowling depth. Their combined efforts showcased a complete team performance, underlining why they remain one of the most dangerous sides when both batting and bowling units click simultaneously.

Brief Score:
Afghanistan 200/4 (20 overs) – Ibrahim Zadran 95*, Sediqullah Atal 44; Jaskarandeep Singh 3/52
Canada 118/8 (20 overs) – Harsh Thaker 30, Saad Bin Zafar 28; Mohammad Nabi 4/7, Rashid Khan 2/19
Result: Afghanistan won by 82 runs – ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

The ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 is approaching its decisive phase as Afghanistan face Canada in the penultimate group-stage fixture at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday, February 19. Afghanistan are already out of contention for the Super Eights but still have pride to play for after a challenging campaign. Led by Rashid Khan, they suffered narrow defeats to South Africa and New Zealand, results that ultimately ended their hopes of progressing further in the tournament.

Canada, meanwhile, have struggled to find rhythm throughout the competition and are also searching for a consolation victory. Their campaign began with a heavy loss and soon spiraled into three straight defeats, including setbacks against United Arab Emirates and New Zealand. Under captain Dilpreet Bajwa, the side has shown glimpses of promise but lacked consistency in key moments. With elimination already confirmed, they will be determined to finish their World Cup journey on a positive note rather than return home without a win.

Afghanistan registered a composed five-wicket win over United Arab Emirates in Match 28 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, chasing 161 with four balls to spare. In their innings, United Arab Emirates scored 160 runs for the loss of 9 wickets after choosing to bat first. They got off to a quick start in the powerplay with 55 runs, before slowly losing momentum as Afghanistan took wickets regularly. This prevented any acceleration during the death overs, and ultimately kept the total within reach. Despite a good start, the UAE couldn’t keep partnerships going, resulting in a sufficient score but eventually could not be enough.

During the innings Sohaib Khan was the anchor scoring an impressive 68 runs off of 48 balls with six fours and four sixes. Alishan Sharafu was the next highest scorer with 40 runs and Syed Haider had a contribution of 13 runs. However, UAE lost wickets in quick succession towards the end of their innings and stunted the progress that they had made in their innings with the potential for a larger score. Afghanistan’s attack was anchored by Azmatullah Omarzai who had a fantastic bowling performance with 4 wickets for 15 runs taking the game away from UAE, while also ensuring the other bowlers kept a tight grip on run scoring causing UAE to have a steady decline in run rate for the second half of their innings.

Afghanistan’s chase began shakily with an early wicket, but Ibrahim Zadran steadied proceedings with a calm 53 off 41 deliveries. Contributions from the middle order, including aggressive cameos, kept the required rate under control. Omarzai then capped a superb all-round display by smashing an unbeaten 40 to guide his side home alongside Mohammad Nabi. Afghanistan finished on 162/5 in 19.2 overs, sealing a confident victory that highlighted their composure under pressure and strengthened their position in the tournament standings.

Afghanistan secured a five-wicket victory over United Arab Emirates in Match 28 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 after successfully chasing 161 in 19.2 overs. UAE's batting underperformed during their 20 overs, finishing with 9 wickets for 160 runs, giving them an average run rate of 8 per over. After getting off to a good start with 55 runs at the end of the 6th over's powerplay, UAE struggled due to poor running between the wickets and poor/ineffective strike rotation limiting the ability to take advantage of this good start.

Sohaib Khan provided the majority of UAE's runs with 68 off 48 balls (6 fours and 4 sixes) and was supported by Alishan Sharafu with a score of 40 runs (31 balls) and Syed Haider scored 13 runs (12 balls). The middle and lower orders fell apart with quick runouts late in the opponents' innings losing wickets quickly. UAE had 10 runs from extras but still felt as though they could not achieve their target of 160 runs or more due to the lack of power demonstrated in the final 10 overs of their innings after being in a strong position during the first half of their inning.

Afghanistan’s bowling effort was spearheaded by Azmatullah Omarzai, who delivered a match-defining spell of four wickets for just 15 runs in four overs. Mujeeb Ur Rahman chipped in with two scalps, while captain Rashid Khan controlled the middle overs with economical figures. Their collective discipline ensured UAE’s scoring rate dipped significantly after the halfway stage, turning what looked like a potentially imposing total into a chaseable target for the Afghan batting unit.

The run chase started slowly when Rahmanullah Gurbaz got out for a duck, but with Ibrahim Zadran’s calm knock of 53 off 41 balls the innings was soon on track. Gulbadin Naib and Sediqullah Atal played very good supporting innings as well to keep Afghanistan in the chase. Darwish Rasooli played an aggressive innings of 33 which gave the chase a lot of momentum; the required run rate never rose beyond the reach of the Afghanistan batsmen. Although at times there were some good wickets taken by the UAE bowlers Afghanistan were able to rotate the strike effectively and punish any loose deliveries which allowed them to keep control of the chase.

Azmatullah Omarzai capped off a very good all-round performance, scoring an unbeaten 40 off 21 balls with three sixes to help his team get across the line along with Mohammad Nabi. Afghanistan finished on 162 for 5, with four balls to go and the win was achieved with a great deal of confidence. The outcome of this match demonstrated that the team displayed great composure during the pressure of chasing and has shown the contribution that their best players made in both batting and bowling. This win, also enhances Afghanistan's position in the group and builds momentum going forward based on their good form heading into important matches ahead.

Top Performances & Key Moments

Azmatullah Omarzai produced a match-winning all-round display, claiming 4/15 and then smashing an unbeaten 40 to guide Afghanistan home. Sohaib Khan kept United Arab Emirates competitive with a fine 68, while Ibrahim Zadran anchored the chase with 53. Early strikes from Afghan bowlers stalled UAE’s momentum after the powerplay, and Omarzai’s late hitting ensured the target was chased comfortably with four balls remaining in this ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 clash.

The excitement of a tied match in cricket cannot be overstated. Additionally, ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Super Overs have provided professional cricketers with many of the wildest finishes the sport has to offer. The nervous tension of these types of contests and their numerous historical significance have proved time again to redefine the history of cricket.

The last Super Over to add an epic moment to the tournament was during the SA vs AFG T20 World Cup 2026 game, which is also considered the most exciting finish in the tournament's entire history. Also, Super Overs have become synonymous with T20 World Cup drama over their history, and from unforgettable upsets to historic firsts to unbelievable double thrillers, they have continued to make the tournament one that keeps fans' hearts pounding.

South Africa vs Afghanistan (T20 World Cup 2026)

In 2026, there was an incredible finish to the T20 World Cup final between South Africa and Afghanistan at Narendra Modi Stadium (Ahmedabad, India). The South African team batted first, scoring 187 runs for six wickets in twenty overs, thanks mainly to Ryan Rickelton's (54 runs) and Quinton de Kock's (77 runs) superb performances. Afghanistan responded with an outstanding performance of their own. Rahmanullah Gurbaz played an innings of 84 to keep them in with a chance of victory, but Noor Ahmed only scored 12 runs from Kagiso Rabada during the last over of the innings, which meant that the result went to Super Over.

Both teams scored 17 runs in the first Super Over, leading to the first instance of a second Super Over in T20 World Cup history.David Miller and Tristan Stubbs from South Africa added 23 runs to their team's total in the second Super Over. Afghanistan almost pulled off an incredible victory when Gurbaz smashed three consecutive sixes to start the final over, but needing 24 runs to win with only four balls remaining proved a challenge too great for them. Keshav Maharaj bowled Gurbaz out on the final ball, giving South Africa a thrilling four-run win in this contest.

USA vs Pakistan (T20 World Cup 2024)

One of the biggest upsets in T20 World Cup Super Over history came in 2024 when tournament debutants USA stunned 2009 champions Pakistan in Dallas. Both teams finished tied at 159 in regulation play.

In the Super Over, USA piled up 18 runs. Left-arm pacer Saurabh Netravalkar then delivered under immense pressure, restricting Pakistan to just 13. The historic victory helped the USA qualify for the Super 8 stage while Pakistan exited in the group phase, marking one of the tournament’s most shocking outcomes.

Namibia vs Oman (T20 World Cup 2024)

In the 2024 edition of the T20 World Cup, Namibia and Oman were involved in a tense, low-scoring contest that eventually finished level at 109 apiece on a difficult batting surface. With neither side able to dominate during regulation overs, the match was pushed into a Super Over. Namibia seized the initiative immediately, attacking from the outset and racing to 21 without loss. Veteran all-rounder David Wiese played a decisive role with the bat, showing composure and power to give his side a commanding advantage in the tie-breaker.

Wiese was not done yet. After providing the momentum with the bat, he returned to deliver under pressure with the ball. Tasked with defending 21 runs in a high-stakes Super Over, he relied on his experience, smart variations, and calm temperament to restrict Oman effectively. His all-round brilliance ensured Namibia emerged victorious in what turned out to be a gripping, hard-fought battle. The match highlighted the fine margins of T20 cricket and the unpredictable drama that makes the World Cup so compelling.

New Zealand vs West Indies (T20 World Cup 2012)

The 2012 T20 World Cup produced a thrilling Super Over contest between New Zealand and West Indies, adding another dramatic chapter to the tournament’s history. After the match ended in a tie, New Zealand batted first in the one-over eliminator and managed to post 17 runs, a challenging target given the pressure and stakes involved. It was a competitive effort, forcing the opposition to come up with something special in a high-intensity situation where every delivery carried immense significance.

West Indies, however, responded with authority and confidence. The explosive pair of Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels stepped up to the moment, displaying remarkable composure and clean striking. They chased down the 17-run target in just five deliveries, underlining their dominance in the shortest format. The emphatic finish showcased the Caribbean side’s flair and ability to excel under pressure, further cementing their growing reputation as a formidable T20 force on the global stage.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka (T20 World Cup 2012)

New Zealand and Sri Lanka were locked at 174 at the end of regulation play, forcing the contest into the newly introduced tie-breaker. Sri Lanka batted first in the one-over eliminator and managed to score 13 runs, setting a competitive target in a tense, high-pressure situation where execution and composure were absolutely critical.

He conceded just seven runs, sealing a memorable victory for Sri Lanka. The dramatic finish not only secured the win but also established the Super Over as a thrilling addition to T20 World Cup history.

India vs Pakistan (T20 World Cup 2007) – The Bowl-Out

In the inaugural 2007 T20 World Cup, tied matches were settled through a bowl-out rather than a Super Over. One of the tournament’s most unforgettable moments came when India and Pakistan finished level in a high-voltage group-stage encounter. With no provision for a Super Over at the time, the outcome was decided by players attempting to hit the stumps in a bowl-out, creating a rare and dramatic spectacle under immense pressure.

India held their nerve and executed flawlessly, winning the bowl-out 3-0. The unique finish added another intense chapter to the storied India-Pakistan rivalry and became an iconic moment in T20 history. That dramatic conclusion also exposed the need for a more competitive tie-breaker format, ultimately influencing the ICC’s decision to introduce the Super Over in subsequent global tournaments.

South Africa edged Afghanistan in a breathtaking T20 World Cup 2026 clash in Ahmedabad, sealing victory in the second Super Over after scores were tied at 187. The match swung wildly, with both sides appearing to have it won at different stages. Kagiso Rabada’s no-ball in the final over of regulation gave Afghanistan hope, while Tristan Stubbs’ last-ball six in the first Super Over forced a second eliminator. Ultimately, South Africa held their nerve on the final delivery, clinching one of the tournament’s most dramatic wins.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz starred in Afghanistan’s chase with a scintillating 42-ball 84, launching a fierce assault during the PowerPlay. He smashed South Africa’s quicks and kept the required rate in check despite wickets falling around him. Lungi Ngidi’s variations and timely strikes from Rabada and Keshav Maharaj kept the contest alive. Gurbaz reignited hopes in the second Super Over with three successive sixes, but Maharaj dismissed him off the final ball. Afghanistan were left ruing tactical calls, including not using Rashid Khan in the Super Overs.
