Rashid Khan gives a good send-off to IPL teammate Glenn Philips: The T20 World Cup 2026 is already underway. In match 4 of the major tournament, New Zealand is taking on Afghanistan at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. The Afghans, after winning the toss, elected to bat first and posted a good total of 182 runs in their 20 overs.
The chase is on as the Black Caps have lost just three wickets with 100 up on the board. During the 9th over, captain Rashid Khan bowled Glenn Philips, who was looking in good touch, and gave his TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) teammate a good send-off. He was caught saying ???F**k off, F**k off??? after dismissing his Gujarat Titans teammate.

Rashid Khan has the last laugh
Rashid Khan, who was smashed for 15 runs off the first over with Glenn Phillips smashing him for a six and later a boundary, this wicket was a kind of comeback for the experienced leg-spinner, who had an outburst after the wicket.
The game is on with 13 needed off the last three. Afghanistan will feel they are away from the game as Tim Seifert, who was the last man to be dismissed after scoring a well made on 65 off 41 deliveries, and Mark Chapman have arrived on the crease after Glenn Phillips??? dismissal. Daryl Mitchell has arrived on the crease, and the match gets into an interesting phase.
Rashid Khan-led Afghanistan to lose the game
Afghanistan, after batting first, were off to a decent start despite losing both their openers, Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz, inside the powerplay. Gulbadin Naib played a brilliant knock of 63 off 35 balls, and Sediqullah Atal played the role of the anchor, scoring 29 off 24 balls. Darwish Abdul Rasooli scored 20 off 13, and small cameos from Azmatullah Omarzai and Mohammad Nabi helped them to post a good total.
New Zealand is nearing victory as Mark Chapman and Daryl Mitchell have been scoring quickly. The former has now reached 27 off 14 balls, and the latter is batting on 13 off 8. Afghanistan needs to pick wickets in order to stay in the game; otherwise, this game will be finished off right before the 20th over.
New Zealand is in full control
Mark Chapman has been dismissed by Azmatullah Omarzai. This can be a signal for another turn of things in the game. Previously, when these two sides met back in this event in the 2024 edition, Afghanistan made an upset, beating the Kiwis by 84 runs.
Afghanistan is one of the most improved sides in world cricket. They were the semi-finalists of the previous edition of the competition. They defeated Australia in the Super 8s to qualify for the last four of the marquee event and lost to South Africa. This year, they have been drawn in with South Africa and New Zealand in a possible group of death.
