Team India scored 181/8 runs in their 20 overs after batting first. So India finish strong with 102 runs coming off the last 10 overs. The opening pair of Rohit and Kohli struggled to get going in the powerplay on a slow pitch, but the the likes of Pant, Surya and Hardik came to the party to help raise the tempo. Surya, in particular, was superb with his sweep shots which put the pressure back on the bowlers and didn’t allow them to hit the length consistently. He did all this while Rashid Khan was in the middle of a good spell, eventually finishing with 3/26 with the wickets of Kohli, Pant and Dube. Farooqui took a three-fer as well, extending his lead at the top of the wicket-taking charts. But Afghanistan have a lot of work to do now with the bat. They’re up against a challenging target on this pitch, and India have gone in with three spinners today. Suryakumar Yadav scored 53 runs of 28 balls and Hardik Pandya scored 32 runs of 24 balls. For Afghanistan, Fazalhaq Farooqi & Rashid Khan picked 3 wickets each.
Innings break!

Afghanistan unable to chase the target and bowled out for 134 runs in their 20 overs. India have had a great outing. They not only have won but have won handsomely. A big win by 47 runs. In Super 8s you get three games, any dent to the NRR will be massive dent to the chances of qualification. Afghanistan barring the first over of the chase, when Gurbaz scored a four and a sixer, never looked threatening. Bumrah removed Gurbaz. Then picked Zazai and Axar chipped in a with a couple of tight overs to ensure India choked the flow of runs and also managed wickets. Naib and Omarzai tried to build a partnership. But it all fell apart quickly after the fall of Naib. Afghanistan would feel they gave away 20 runs more. Even 160 would have been tough but 180 was a little too beyond for any batting line up on this deck. India managed to get to that total on the back of timely knocks from Pant, SKY and Pandya. Once they had 181 on the board, Indian bowling was relentless. India have opened their account in this stage and have staked a massive claim with a big win for a place in the semis. Still a long way to go through. Azmatullah Omarzai scored 26 of 20 balls and Najibullah Zadran scored 19 runs of 17 balls. For Team India, Jasprit Bumrah & Arshdeep Singh picked 3 wickets each.
