Mohammad Nabi Umpire Fight: What an amazing match took place between South Africa and Afghanistan in the 2026 T20 World Cup. South Africa emerged victorious in this match that featured a double super over. Fours and sixes rained down, runs piled up, but beyond that, there was another memorable incident in this match. This incident involved a heated argument between Mohammad Nabi and the umpires. Find out why Nabi and the umpires clashed on the field.

Debate over wristbands

In this match played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Afghanistan was chasing a target of 188 runs. It was the 14th over of the innings, and Lungi Ngidi was to bowl. He was wearing a yellow wristband. Mohammad Nabi said that the yellow wristband was making it difficult for him to see the ball clearly.

Mohammad Nabi clashed with the umpires

Even before Lungi Ngidi's over began, Mohammad Nabi was seen arguing with the umpires. The South African players also joined in the heated exchange. Seeing the situation on the field heating up, South African captain Aiden Markram stepped in to try to calm the situation.

Before the start of the over, Lungi Ngidi wore wristbands on both wrists. After repeated requests and heated arguments from Nabi, Ngidi removed one wristband, but the other remained on. Nabi was dismissed for just 5 runs after playing 6 balls.

Gurbaaz could not change his fate

The world will remember this result of the South Africa vs. Afghanistan match for decades to come. Both teams scored 17 runs in the first Super Over. South Africa scored 23 runs in the second. In response, Rahmanullah Gurbaz hit three consecutive sixes to raise the Afghan team's hopes of victory, but he failed to hit the fourth.
