AFG’s innings , Updown story
Gulbadin Naib top scored with a breezy 35 balls and 57 runs before the lower order batters Mujeeb Ur Rahman made 21 out of 9 balls and Karim 20 off 10 balls and contribute to raise AFG to a respectful score on 172. Today Shivam Dube played well.
India’s chase began on a eventful note that saw a first-ball boundary by Yashasvi Jaiswal and then he never look back. Virat Kohli played well but soon he went back. Naveen-Ul-Haq cut short Kohli highly promising stay at the crease by having the maestro caught at mid-off for a 16-ball 29.
Not effected by Kohli’s dismissal, the double power of Jaiswal and Dube went about their task in a brutal manner, leaving the Afghan bowlers bruised and battered.
After winning toss, asked to bat first, Afghanistan opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz signalled his intent straightaway and flicked Arshdeep Singh (3/32 in 4 overs) for a four through square leg and then tried to hit one straight down the ground, which however did not result in a boundary.

Gulbadin Naib copy the Gurbaz hitting pulling mukesh to mid wicket and the driving him through for successive fours. Fresh from a wicket in his very first over, Bishnoi found himself at the receiving end of Gulbadin’s onslaught as the batter pulled a short ball over deep mid-wicket for a maximum before hitting back-to-back fours in an 18-run over at the Holkar Stadium.
There was another bowling change and it paid dividends as left-arm spinner Axar Patel bowled visiting captain Ibrahim Zadran with a beautiful flighted delivery that turned just enough to beat the batter and hit the stumps.
Axar bowled an economical eighth over before Gulbadin carted a Dube slower ball into the stands over deep mid-wicket and followed that by launching a half tracker towards the long-on region for another maximum.
