- A typical top performer scores around 100. Exceptional performances can exceed 100.
Germany vs Austria – T20 Internationals 2026 Match Report | Statz
Austria beat Germany by 7 wickets (with 25 balls remaining) in the 56th match of 91 in the T20 Internationals 2026, played at the Bayer Uerdingen Cricket Ground in Krefeld. Austria chased down Germany’s competitive total of 211/9 in just 15.5 overs thanks to a stunning century from Karanbir Singh. Germany won the toss and elected to bat. Germany are ranked 35th in the ICC T20I rankings (87 rating).
First Innings: Germany 211/9 (20 overs)
Germany chose to bat but lost wickets from the very first ball. Ben Kohler-Cadmore was caught first ball for a duck (0/1, over 0.1), then Shahid Afridi went for 3 off 3 at 4/2 (over 0.5). Musaddiq Ahmed hit 18 off 11 (SR 164) before being caught at 30/3 (over 3.2).
Germany rebuilt from 30/3 through Fayaz Khan Nasseri who played a stunning cameo – 41 off just 15 balls (3 fours, 4 sixes, SR 273), putting on a partnership with Jeevan Bhatt (17 off 16). Nasseri was stumped out at 98/5 (over 8.4). Muslim Yar Ashraf (21 off 13, 3 sixes) was caught at 163/6 (over 15.4), then Nooruddin Mujadaddy bowled at 211/8 (over 18.4).
The backbone of the innings was Rohit Singh – 66 off 39 balls (10 fours, 1 six, SR 169), the highest scorer before he was caught at 175/7 (over 16.4). Sajid Liaqat remained not out on 23 off 12 (2 sixes, SR 192) to help Germany reach 211/9.
For Austria, Bilal Zalmai (2/32, Econ 8.00) and Aqib Iqbal (2/40, Econ 10.00) were the chief wicket-takers. Mohammad Waqar Zalmai took 3/35 (Econ 11.67) as top wicket-taker by number, while Zeeshan Goraya chipped in with 1/45 (Econ 15.00).
Second Innings: Austria 212/3 (15.5 overs)
Austria’s chase was defined by a single extraordinary performance. Bilal Zalmai opened explosively – 22 off just 8 balls (2 fours, 2 sixes, SR 275) before being caught at 41/1 (over 3.4). Zeeshan Goraya went for 1 at 42/2 (over 4.1), then Armaan Randhawa departed for 9 at 93/3 (over 8.4).
Karanbir Singh was simply unstoppable. The Austria batter produced one of the performances of this T20 Internationals cycle – 128 not out off 52 balls (7 fours, 14 sixes, SR 246). With Aqib Iqbal at the other end (40* off 22, 3 fours, 2 sixes, SR 182), Austria cantered home with 25 balls to spare. Germany had no answer for Karanbir’s power – 14 sixes in a chase of 212 tells the whole story.
Germany’s bowlers were expensive throughout. Sajid Liaqat (0/40 off 2.5, Econ 14.12), Nooruddin Mujadaddy (1/40, Econ 13.33), Fayaz Khan Nasseri (0/26, Econ 13.00) all went for plenty. Jeevan Bhatt (1/20, Econ 10.00) and Shahid Afridi (1/25, Econ 12.50) could not stem the flow.
Statz MVP: Karanbir Singh (144.50)
Karanbir Singh leads the Statz ratings with a score of 144.50, calculated by Statz based on match context. His 128* off 52 with 14 sixes and 7 fours in a successful chase of 212 was the defining performance. 274 Dream11 points is the highest in this match by some distance. There is no official Man of the Match for this fixture.
Top 5 Statz Ratings
- Karanbir Singh (Austria) – 144.50 – 128* off 52 (SR 246, 14 sixes), match-winning century that made the chase look routine
- Bilal Zalmai (Austria) – 116.64 – 22 off 8 (SR 275) + 2/32 with ball, outstanding across both departments
- Aqib Iqbal (Austria) – 107.01 – 40* off 22 (SR 182) + 2/40 with ball, vital unbroken partnership with Karanbir
- Fayaz Khan Nasseri (Germany) – 88.25 – 41 off 15 (SR 273, 4 sixes), the standout in a losing German cause
- Rohit Singh (Germany) – 71.36 – 66 off 39 (SR 169, 10 fours), anchor of the German innings
Turning Point
Austria were 93/3 (over 8.4) when Armaan Randhawa was caught off Jeevan Bhatt. At that point the game was still open – Austria needed 119 more off 68 balls with three wickets down. But Karanbir Singh had already established himself and Germany never managed a fourth wicket. From 93/3, Austria scored 119 runs without further loss to complete the chase with ease.
