    T20 WC: ‘So Unlucky, Gave Everything On The Ground,’ Says Afghan Skipper Rashid After Loss To SA In Thriller

    Narendra Modi Stadium: Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan described his side’s dramatic defeat to South Africa as "unlucky" after a thrilling double super over contest ended in heartbreak at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

    In a Group D clash that will be remembered as one of the greatest matches in T20 World Cup history, Afghanistan pushed South Africa to the absolute limit before falling short in the second super over. After Ryan Rickleton (61) and Quinton de Kock (59) powered the Proteas to 187/6, Afghanistan responded with an equally spirited effort, led by Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s explosive 84, to tie the match and force a super over.

    Reflecting on the bowling effort after South Africa’s strong start, Rashid, speaking after the match, said, “The boys did an amazing job, especially after the way they started with the batting. 100 runs in 10 overs, one wicket. And then we restrict them under 190 was a huge effort. And then the way we started with the bat. So so unlucky at the end to be a part of losing team. But I think overall we have given all the efforts in the ground. And just a matter of the result, we haven't got the right result.”
