- 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 won by 5 wickets (with 6 balls remaining) against Austria at the Bayer Uerdingen Cricket Ground in Krefeld. It was the 61st match of 97 in the T20 Internationals 2026 season – Germany’s third win in this current series against Austria and a sixth all-time head-to-head win out of seven meetings.
First Innings – Austria: 213/9 (20 overs)
Austria won the toss and elected to bat. The innings was built almost entirely around Bilal Zalmai, who launched an extraordinary assault – 89 off just 34 balls, striking 8 fours and 7 sixes at a strike rate of 262. He retired hurt and did not return, but the damage was done.
Karanbir Singh fell early for 6 at 8/1 in over 0.6. Armaan Randhawa played well for 50 off 36 before being bowled at 144/3 at over 13.1. Aqib Iqbal added 28 off 18 before falling at 175/4 in over 16.2. The lower order – Amar Naeem, Baseer Khan, and Irfan Safi – came and went quickly. Mohammad Waqar Zalmai chipped in with 12 off 9 before a run out at 213/9 in over 19.3. Austria posted 213/9 – a strong total but one Germany would prove answerable.
For Germany, Shahid Afridi was outstanding with 4/34 from 4 overs at 8.5 economy. Jeevan Bhatt took 3/34 from 4 overs. Hamid Wardak was the most economical with 1/27 from 4 overs.
Second Innings – Germany: 216/5 (19 overs)
Ben Kohler-Cadmore set an electric tone at the top – 29 off just 8 balls before being LBW at 29/1 in over 1.3. Shahid Afridi came in and hit 10 off 5 before being caught at 55/2 in over 3.2. Musaddiq Ahmed kept the score moving with 37 off 17, falling caught at 104/3 in over 7.3.
The innings was anchored by Rohit Singh, who batted through to the end – 83 not out off 45 balls with 10 fours and 2 sixes. He was the backbone of the successful chase. Fayaz Khan Nasseri added 22 off 18 before falling at 157/4 in over 13.4. Jeevan Bhatt contributed a lively 24 off 16 before being caught at 204/5 in over 17.4. Germany crossed the line in 19 overs with 6 balls to spare.
For Austria, Umair Tariq took 3/70 but was expensive at 17.5 economy. Baseer Khan was the best value with 1/34 from 4 overs at 8.5 economy.
Statz MVP – Bilal Zalmai
Statz calculates impact based on match context. Bilal Zalmai earns the Statz MVP with a rating of 142.51 – the highest in this match by a wide margin. His 89 off 34 for Austria was a genuinely elite innings that almost single-handedly put a chase of 214 on the table. No official Man of the Match was awarded.
Top 5 Statz Ratings
- Bilal Zalmai (Austria) – 142.51 – 89 off 34 retired hurt, 8 fours and 7 sixes at SR 262
- Jeevan Bhatt (Germany) – 115.61 – 3/34 with the ball and a rapid 24 off 16 in the chase
- Shahid Afridi (Germany) – 103.07 – 4/34 to dismantle the Austrian batting; 10 off 5 with the bat
- Rohit Singh (Germany) – 87.01 – Unbeaten 83 off 45 – the innings that won Germany the match
- Ben Kohler-Cadmore (Germany) – 74.84 – Breathtaking 29 off 8 set the tone for the chase from the first over
Turning Point
The dismissal of Armaan Randhawa – bowled at 144/3 in over 13.1 by Jeevan Bhatt – was the moment that shifted momentum. Austria lost the one partner who could have built on Zalmai’s platform. From 144/3 they added only 69 more while losing 6 wickets, falling short of what the innings promised.
Match Context
Germany hold an ICC T20I ranking of 35th with a rating of 87. They are in dominant form in this series – winning three of the four matches played against Austria in the past two days at their home ground in Krefeld. The head-to-head record now stands at Germany 6, Austria 1 from seven meetings.
Austria do not hold a T20I ranking in the API data for this fixture. Their sole win in this series came yesterday in an earlier match. Back-to-back defeats today will sting despite the high-quality batting display from Zalmai.
