The Afghanistan batsmen did not look in form due to the loss of early wickets in the powerplay while chasing the target. Veteran fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar destroyed Afghanistan’s batting order by taking a total of five wickets in his quota of four overs. Ibrahim Zadran completed his half-century, but it was not enough for his team to chase down a huge score. Afghanistan could score only 11 runs in 20 overs and India won the match by 101 runs.
