How Statz Rating works:
- Each player receives a contextual match impact score based on their all-round contribution — batting, bowling, and situational factors.
- Ratings are scaled against the season benchmark so they are directly comparable across fixtures and to the season leaderboard.
- A typical top performer scores around 100. Exceptional performances can exceed 100.
Germany vs Austria – T20 Internationals 2026 Match Report | Statz
Germany levelled the series at 3-1 with a dominant win at Bayer Uerdingen Cricket Ground in Krefeld, Germany won by 48 runs in the 59th match of 91 in the T20 Internationals 2026. After Austria had stunned the hosts in match three – chasing down 212 with ease – Germany bounced back hard, posting a rapid 170/6 from just 11 overs and bowling Austria out for 122 in the same allocation.
First Innings – Germany 170/6 (11 overs)
Germany won the toss and elected to bat in what was clearly a power-play format fixture. Ben Kohler-Cadmore fell in the first over for a golden duck, bowled at 0/1, but that wicket barely registered as Shahid Afridi launched an assault of 37 off 13 with four fours and three sixes, before being caught at 52 in the fourth over.
Musaddiq Ahmed picked up where Afridi left off. The top-scorer hit 60 off 25 – one four and seven sixes at a strike rate of 240 – caught at 152 in the ninth over. Rohit Singh was equally brutal: 46 off 18 at a strike rate of 256 (five fours, three sixes), caught at 146 in the ninth over. Fayaz Khan Nasseri smashed 10 off 4 to close out the innings. Germany finished 170/6.
For Austria, Mohammad Waqar Zalmai was the best of a battered attack – 3/20 off two overs – while Bilal Zalmai leaked 39 off two (Econ 19.50).
Second Innings – Austria 122/8 (11 overs)
Austria needed a miraculous run-chase and started promisingly. Karanbir Singh blazed 26 off 8 at a strike rate of 325 – five fours and a six – before being bowled at 48 in the third over. Aqib Iqbal hit 18 off 6 before falling LBW at 85 in the sixth over, ending the best hope of a dramatic chase. Zeshan Arif smashed 16 off 4 at SR 400 but was bowled in the final over. Austria managed 122/8 – 48 short.
Germany kept their nerve with the ball. Jeevan Bhatt was the most economical – 1/12 off three overs (Econ 4.00). Ahmad Ullah took 2/19 off two (Econ 9.50) and Sajid Liaqat picked up 2/27 off two to complete a strong all-round game – 7 with the bat, 2 wickets with the ball.
Statz MVP – Aqib Iqbal (101.26 Statz Rating)
Statz calculates impact based on match context – and Aqib Iqbal of Austria tops the match ratings with 101.26, despite being on the losing side. Taking 1/28 off three overs and hitting 18 off 6, his dual contributions across both innings stood out in context. No official Man of the Match was awarded for this fixture.

- Mohammad Waqar Zalmai (AUT) – 71.22 | 3/20 off 2 overs, the pick of a difficult Austrian bowling evening
