The Indian cricket team gave their countrymen a Diwali gift in a way when they registered a convincing 66-run win against Afghanistan to get their T20 WC campaign up and running.

This was Team India's first win in the Super 12 stage of the competition after losing two back-to-back games against Pakistan (by 10 wickets) and New Zealand (by five wickets).

India will next face Scotland on November 5 in Dubai.
