New Zealand vs Afghanistan, 4th Match, Group D, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Rashid Khan to Phillips, out Bowled!! The Afghan captain strikes back and he's thrilled to bits - he's enjoyed it very much. Was very full and around off, GP backed away on the inside out drive, went too hard on the shot and lost his shape in the process - ended up getting an under-edge and the ball crashed into the base of off-stump. GP was batting beutifully, but leaves his team in some trouble now. Phillips b Rashid Khan 42(25) [4s-7 6s-1]
