AFG vs SA Produces First Double Super Over in T20 World Cup History

It was breathless at the Narendra Modi Stadium. After the first Super Over ended level, the second began with South Africa batting. Tristan Stubbs launched the first ball for six, and David Miller followed with another towering hit.

Azmatullah Omarzai even called for a no-ball review amid the noise. The Proteas surged to 23, a daunting tally under pressure.

Afghanistan’s reply began poorly as Mohammad Nabi fell for a duck. With 24 needed off four balls, the equation looked impossible. Gurbaz refused to fold. He hammered three successive sixes to keep hope alive, reducing it to six off the final delivery. 

A wide added another twist, but on the next ball, he found a fielder inside the circle. South Africa held on in a match that will be remembered for years.
