The International Cricket Council (ICC) has sanctioned Afghanistan's senior star Mohammed Nabi after the February 11 match against South Africa. In the match Nabi was seen arguing with the on-field umpire- a reason given behind Nabi's penalties. Notably, ICC fined 15% of Nabi's match fee, citing that he breached Level 1 of the Code of Conduct. ICC clarified that the all-rounder violated article 2.4 of the Code of Conduct. It is mainly for players and support staff personnel who deal with “disobeying an umpire’s instruction during an international match.” Notably, the penalty came due to the wristband controversy that popped up during the 14th over. While Afghanistan was batting, Lungi Ngidi's white wristband became a sort of distraction for Nabi. Nabi had confronted the umpire, leading to an argument and a match fee fine. Not a great day for Nabi on the field The penalty added to the woes of Mohammed Nabi after an utter failure from his side as a player against South Africa. With the ball, he leaked 20 runs in two overs without a wicket. And then he scored 5 runs off 6 balls before leaving. Not only that, but in the second super over, he wasted two balls for a duck, almost wasting Afghanistan's opportunity to convert Rahmanullah Gurbaz's sole effort to a win.

Gurbaz shattered after Afghanistan's close defeat to the Proteas Gurbaz was shattered in the sidelines after the match. But little will people know that this man was the real winning- the lone warrior of the match. An innings of 84 runs off 42 balls could have almost defied the cricketing fate, but it simply gave two super overs—a super over that could have been otherwise avoided if some on-the-spot sense had been shown from Noor Ahmed and Fazalhaq Farooqi. Despite the mid-over fumblings, South Africa had still managed to put 187 on the board due to the Quinton de Kock-Ryan Rickleton partnership. Chasing 188, Afghanistan were reduced to 52 for 3 inside the powerplay, losing Ibrahim Zadran, Gulbadin Naib and Sediqullah Atal cheaply. In the middle of that collapse stood Rahmanullah Gurbaz tall, batted gallantly with a strike rate of 200., His 84 included seven sixes and four boundaries, and he alone scored 44.9% of Afghanistan’s total runs. At one stage, Gurbaz brought Afghanistan to 121 in the 13th over, keeping the required rate under control despite minimal support from the other end. After Gurbaz’s dismissal, Afghanistan still managed to crawl to 187 in 19.4 overs, tying the contest against South Africa. In the first Super Over, Azmatullah Omarzai scored 18, with Gurbaz adding one, scoring 17 against, which was equaled with a six from Brevis in the last ball. The final brainrot moment happened when Rashid Khan sent Nabi in the middle instead of Gurbaz, that too while chasing 23 runs! Gurbaz almost pulled out the chase with three sixes until the last ball of Keshav Maharaj. Gurbaz faced 22.4% of Afghanistan’s deliveries but contributed nearly half the runs, underlining his dominance- a statistical proof of the inhuman effort he gave to the team before finally breaking down at the dugout.
