IND vs AFG Live Cricket Score

37.5 OUT! Shahzad holes out! The fun is over. But what a great knock by the wicketkeeper batsman. He walks back to a standing ovation from his teammates. Coming to the delivery, Jadhav probably senses the charge from the batsman. Hence, he serves it full and wide outside off. MS is down the track looking for a big shot but it's too wide of him and he has to reach out for it. As a result, it flies off the bottom half of the bat and Karthik moves across to his right from long off to catch the skier safely. The 48-run stand is over as well and the timing of this wicket will hurt Afghanistan. 180/6

12.4 OUT! MS Dhoni is rarely wrong. Ahmadi has to depart. He contributed just 5 runs in the 65-run opening stand. But credit to him for hanging in with Shahzad. Coming to the wicket, Jadeja serves it full and on middle, Ahmadi runs down the track to play a big shot probably but gets an inside edge onto the pads. It deflects behind to Dhoni, who collects it and does the rest with ease. He appeals before going to celebrate with his players and the square leg umpire signals for the third umpire. The replays roll in and they show that Ahmadi is way outside his crease. First success for India. 65/1

14.4 OUT! Jadeja bowls a beauty to get rid of Rahmat Shah. Second wicket for him and he has struck in consecutive overs to provide India some relief. He tosses it up in the air and lands it around middle. Shah is forward to defend, probably, playing for the away spin but to his bad luck, it turns out to be an arm ball. It kisses the deck, beats his bat and sneaks past his pads to disturb the sticks. One of Afghanistan's premier batsmen departs cheaply. 81/2

15.2 OUT! Superb stumping by MS Dhoni. He is lightning quick as we all know and he just proves it again. 00.16 seconds and the bails are off. Wow! Really a master of quick reflexes. We have to give credit to Kuldeep here as well. It's beautifully tossed up in the air and Shahidi is lured into the shot. He shimmies down the track but then quickly realizes that he's beaten in the flight. Tries to defend after that but it turns away to beat his bat. Hashmatullah tries to get back in but Dhoni is ultra-quick in collecting the ball and removing the bails. The square leg umpire has his finger raised and Afghanistan have suddenly hit a roadblock, they have lost three wickets in 17 balls. 82/3

15.3 OUT! Bowled 'em! KULDEEP ON A HAT-TRICK! He dishes out his stock ball again which lands around off and turns back in. Afghan comes forward to this initially looking to drive but then decides to play it from the back foot. His attempt is to flick but misses the ball completely. The ball is not missing the sticks. The Indians are ecstatic as Afghan with a bamboozled look walks back. 82/4

28.4 OUT! He's gone! A budding partnership for Afghanistan comes to an end. Chahar gets his first wicket in ODI cricket. Full and coming in on the pads, Naib flicks it over mid-wicket. No elevation on it and the placement is so good that Gulbadin finds Jadhav out in the deep. He moves a couple of steps to his right and takes it safely. The growing stand is broken and India continue to be on top. 132/5

47.3 OUT! Good bowling brings an end to a very good knock from Mohammad Nabi. Khaleel continues from around the wicket and bowls a slower one full in length on the stumps. Nabi doesn't pick it up and ends up playing the lofted shot too early. Chips it in the extra cover region and two fielders converge to take this - Kuldeep from cover and Karthik from mid off. No calling whatsoever and the former takes it as they both collide. Could have just as easily dropped it, but nicely done eventually. The fielders exchange smiles. Good to see nobody got hurt either. 244/8

44.1 OUT! A 3-fer for Jadeja! The on-field call stays. He comes from over the wicket and it spins in from around off, Zadran brings out the reverse sweep but fails to connect. Is caught around the hips but since he's got low to play, height isn't an issue. The appeal goes up and so does the finger. The southpaw reviews and replays show that he's dead plumb. Nothing saves him. A good stand though, was worth 46 off 38. 226/7

20.3 OUT! Plumb as it gets and Rahul is gone. The leg spinner this time, Rahul goes for the reverse sweep but misses and is hit right in front. Seems dead and is ruled out by the on-field umpire. But for some reason, Rahul wants to have it reviewed. The replays roll in. First the no ball check. Safe. Second, the presence of wood or glove. None. Third, Hawk Eye. Pitched outside off, hitting in line and going on to hit the stumps. India exhaust or rather, waste their only review. Fine knock from Rahul, but again, he has thrown it away. 127/2

17.1 OUT! GONE! Afghanistan have their first breakthrough of the evening. Nabi comes from around the wicket and floats it up on the stumps, Rayudu gives the charge and tries to clear long on. Gets a lot of height but not enough distance and as a result, it goes straight down Najibullah's throat. He takes it well and that's the end for Rayudu. He departs, but not before playing a superb knock. 110/1

39.4 OUT! Adjudged LBW! Boy, is the game turning now? Karthik is not happy. Full and around middle and leg, Karthik misses his flick and is hit on the pads as the ball spins in. Nabi appeals, the umpire takes his time and eventually raises his finger! DK has a long look at the heavens and then trudges back. To the naked eye, that looked like missing leg. Hawk Eye confirms it. Sadly, India do not have any review left. 48 more needed from 62 balls. Getting close. 205/6

25.5 OUT! LBW! This is a bonus wicket for Afghanistan. Ahmadi has got rid of the Indian captain. But he has also hurt himself in the process. Full and outside off, Dhoni gets a good stride forward and looks to defend but misses and is hit on the pads. Ahmadi appeals, the umpire thinks for a while and then raises his finger. Dhoni is not happy and neither is Ahmadi. Let us get to the bowler first. While celebrating after the decision, the fielder from short fine leg has thrown the ball towards the stumps at the bowler's end. However, he hits the bowler's arm! Ouch. That will sting. Now, let us move to Dhoni's disagreement. Hawk Eye shows the ball to be MISSING LEG STUMP. 142/3

30.3 OUT! Caught behind! Afghanistan are getting some quick wickets here. This is full and outside off, a touch wide, Pandey looks to drive when it is not on a driveable length. But there is no feet movement and it results in an outside edge. Shahzad collects but neither the keeper nor the bowler appeal. Pandey stays over there but then the umpire sends him on his way. If my memory serves me correct, when Australia toured India in 2017 for the ODIs, Nathan Coulter-Nile got him in a similar fashion caught behind the wickets in the first game. 166/4

38.5 OUT! What a freakish dismissal! Kedar is short. Has to go now. Full and around off, Karthik drives it straight back. Now, Mujeeb gets across to his right and should have fielded it. But he misfields it, the ball brushes his hands and hits the stumps behind! Now, Kedar is backing a long way and has to turn behind and slide his bat in. Mujeeb appeals and runs around in celebratory fashion. The umpire refers it upstairs and replays show that Jadhav has not quite made it back! Are Afghanistan still in this? 49 more needed from 67 balls. 204/5

49.5 OUT! THE MATCH IS TIED! Unbelievable scenes. Rashid Khan is flying around, like an aeroplane. Shikhar Dhawan is smiling in the dressing room. How did India goof it up? A short ball, Jadeja rocked back and pulled it uppishly. He could have hit it anywhere he liked but he chose the only man in the deep on the leg side - mid-wicket. Najibullah Zadran comes running in and takes a terrific catch. Oh boy, what a game. Does not matter to either team but what a match we have had. 252/10

44.5 OUT! BOWLED! Aftab has struck! Chahar is beaten by pace. A length ball, on middle, Deepak looks to flick but the ball hits his pads and then deflects onto the off stump. The Afghan supporters go wild in the crowd. Aftab is excited and runs all around the park. This match well... seems to be heading down to the wire. 27 more needed from 31 balls. 226/7

48.1 OUT! Kuldeep is gone. What a brilliant piece of fielding. India are 8 down now but Jadeja is on strike. Full and around off, Kuldeep backs away and drives it through the covers. Gulbadin Naib covers good ground to his left and dives to stop the boundary. Jadeja calls for the third but Kuldeep is a bit slow in taking off. Naib returns a wayward throw to the bowler, way away from the stumps. But he takes the throw, turns back and then fires his own throw at the stumps. Bull's eye! Kuldeep's bat gets stuck outside the crease and that does not help matters. It is referred upstairs and replays confirm that Yadav is short. 11 more needed from 11 balls. 242/8

48.5 OUT! It is wicket number 9! The Afghans are hitting the stumps alright. Full on middle, Kaul pushes it towards mid on and hares across. Hashmatullah Shahidi charges to the ball, picks it up and then fires a direct hit the bowler's end! It is referred upstairs and replays show that Kaul is gone! 245/9
