T20 World Cup 2026: Potential to be dangerous… Sachin Tendulkar made a big prediction about this team, not India; Will there be a big play in T20 World Cup?
Sachin Tendulkar News: Great batsman Sachin Tendulkar said some encouraging things for Afghanistan after giving a good fight against South Africa in the group stage match in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. The two teams had a match that could never be forgotten, with two super overs to decide the winner, and the Proteas held on in the end to secure the crucial two points.
2 super overs between Afghanistan and South Africa
Afghanistan were all out for 187 runs in 19.4 overs, while South Africa had earlier scored 187 runs for six wickets in their Group D match in Ahmedabad, leading to a tie at the end of regular overs. After this, the drama increased further, because both the teams scored 17-17 runs in the first super over, after which both the teams were once again tied. There was no difference between the teams, so the match went to a second sudden-death Super Over, where South Africa finally won on the last ball, bringing a dramatic end to an extraordinary and nerve-wracking battle.
Master-Blaster praised both the teams
Sachin Tendulkar described the drama and intensity of the double Super Over thriller between South Africa and Afghanistan, and praised both teams for fighting to the end. While congratulating the Proteas for maintaining their composure under pressure, the great batsman also highlighted Afghanistan’s growing strength, saying the team has the potential to become a major threat on the world stage.

Two super overs a day keep the boredom away! A game that went right down to the wire.
Congratulations to the South African team on the win. It takes composure to see the game through.
This Afghanistan team has the potential to be really dangerous.

‘The craziest game of T20 World Cup’
Former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa also commented on X and praised the match of both the teams on the big stage. Uthappa wrote, “This must have been one of the craziest games we have seen in the T20 World Cup. Feel for Gurbaz who hung on for Afghanistan!! SA kept their composure under pressure, which was great to see!! Great for cricket!!”
Uthappa wrote, “It is difficult to tell everything” South Africa captain Aiden Markram was clearly tired after a day full of drama. He said, “It is very difficult to tell all this together.” “It’s a tough game and teams put a lot of pressure on you.” Markram said, “There are some lessons that we can learn. We could not give our best in some areas, there is scope for improvement.”
