AFG vs IND Live Cricket Score

13.1 OUT! TAKEN! The new pair of gloves only lasts one ball. Azmatullah Omarzai serves this fuller and on off, Sanju Samson backs away a bit and tries to mow it down the ground. He gets it from the bottom half of the bat and fails to get the elevation. It flies flat and hard towards long off, where Rashid Khan judges it well as he leaps a bit and takes a fine catch with both hands stretched above his left shoulder. So, fifty and out for Sanju Samson. 164/3

9.5 OUT! CAUGHT! At long last, a wicket for Afghanistan. Rashid ends Abhishek's fun. He dishes out the googly, on a length and just outside off. Abhishek goes deep inside the crease to punch it away to the off side, but seems to have got an outside edge. An appeal for caught behind, and up goes the finger. But hang on! Abhishek has opted for a review here. But the UltraEdge detects a massive spike when the ball is next to Abhishek's bat. The on-field decision is upheld and Abhishek walks off to a huge round of applause. A bit of a surprising review, though. India are 142/1 in 9.5 overs. 142/1

11.1 OUT! TILAK VARMA IS RUN OUT! A moment of brilliance in the field from Rashid Khan brings in another wicket for Afghanistan. He drops it short, on middle and leg, Tilak stays back and tucks it to the vacant short mid-wicket region and calls for the run. He stops for a millisecond in between, which proves to be his downfall. Rashid quickly runs to his left, picks up the ball and hits a bullseye on the turn at the bowler's end. He is already celebrating, but the third umpire is called in. Well, Tilak is already walking back and the replay shows that he is short of his crease. 142/0 becomes 152/2 for India! 152/2

19.4 OUT! SHREYAS IYER IS RUN OUT! Superb fielding display by the Afghans as this is the third run out of the evening. Geez, they have darted some straight on the stumps. Very full and outside the off stump. Iyer smashes it to the left of the cover fielder and dashes off for a single, but the fielder, Ibrahim Zadran picks the ball quickly and nails the direct hit to the bowling end, catching Iyer short by a country-mile. 218/7

15.3 OUT! FANTASTIC CATCH! Another Superman effort by Rashid in the field. He has been involved in almost every wicket so far in some way or the other. The reason he is called a genuine match-winner who gives everything to the game. Full and drifting in from middle stump. Dube clears his front leg and chips it to the left of long on but gets no timing on it. Rashid covers the ground rapidly to his left, eyes glued to the ball, and comes up with a fine, tumbling grab. However, the third umpire is brought in to check the legality of the catch. He checks a couple of reviews before deeming it a fair catch. India are 186/4. 186/4

17.5 OUT! ISHAN KISHAN IS RUN OUT! Superb effort from Gurbaz to send Kishan packing. Bowled from around the stumps, and it is a wide yorker, outside off, slanted across the batter. Shreyas throws kitchen-sink at it to loft it over covers, but the ball gets squeezed off the underedge and rolls to the right of the keeper. Rahmanullah Gurbaz dives to his right and makes a half-stop with the ball getting deflected to his right. Looking at that, the batters try to pinch in a single, but Gurbaz does well to remove his gloves first, collect the ball and score a direct hit at the batting end with Kishan out by a fair bit. India are 205/5, with 13 balls remaining. 205/5

18.3 OUT! CAUGHT IN THE DEEP! Maiden T20I wicket for Abdollah Ahmadzai as he has his arms aloft. It's a special moment for any bowler to get the first wicket representing his nation. Bowls it full and on the leg stump line. Nitish Kumar Reddy clears the front leg and tries to smoke it over deep mid-wicket, but he does not get the required timing or elevation and offers a straightforward catch to Mujeeb Ur Rahman patrolling the fence there. India slip down to 206/6 with 9 balls left. 206/6

3.1 OUT! BOWLED! Axar breaks the opening stand in style. He dishes out a full-length delivery by giving it a good bit of rip, on the leg stump line. Gurbaz gets low on his knee and has an ugly swipe across the line to sweep, but plays the wrong line. The ball sneaks past the bat and uproots the leg stump. Afghanistan are 31/1, chasing 222 runs. 31/1

5.2 OUT! TAKEN IN THE DEEP! Yash Thakur gets among the wickets. He goes much fuller and on the pads. Ibrahim Zadran picks it off and whips it away, timing it well but he hits it towards the longer side. It flies towards deep square leg, where Ishan Kishan moves a bit to his left and takes a good catch. Zadran was looking good, but also has to depart after getting to a good start. 47/4

4 OUT! TOP EDGE AND GONE! Axar with a double whammy and India are in ascendancy. Axar stays around the stumps and drifts the ball across the batter, on a fuller length. Sediqullah Atal goes for a pre-meditated slog sweep, across the line, but gets a massive top edge. The ball gets sliced up in the night sky and sails over deep mid-wicket. Abhishek Sharma runs in off the ropes, calls for the catch and takes it nicely. Afghanistan are 33/2, needing 189 runs from 96 balls. 33/2

4.5 OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! A Jasprit Bumrah special. A sizzling yorker that consumes Rasooli. Bumrah lasers in a pinpoint yorker at the base of the middle and leg stumps. Rasooli is a fraction late to bring his bat down to squeeze it out, and that is enough for the ball to sneak below his willow and make an absolute mess of the stumps behind. A golden duck for Darwish Rasooli. Afghanistan are falling apart here as they slip down to 39/3, chasing 222 runs. 39/3

11.3 OUT! CAUGHT! There goes another and Reddy has his second wicket. Bowls it slightly fuller than a length, outside the off stump. Azmatullah Omarzai looks to carve it over deep cover, but the ball gets spooned off the toe end and Ravi Bishnoi makes no mistake with a simple catch at deep point. Afghanistan spiral down to 82/7 now. 82/7

8.5 OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Ravi Bishnoi strikes. He tosses it up, full and just outside off. Noor ul Rahman tries to go big down the ground but fails to get fully underneath it and his bat turns in his hands as well. He does not get the elevation and hits it much flatter. It flies straight to long off, where Nitish Kumar Reddy does not have to move an inch and takes a good catch. Afghanistan lose half their side now with 70 runs on the board. 70/5

11.1 OUT! BOWLED! You miss, I hit, says Nitish. He keeps it plain and simple. Bowls it in line with the stumps and on a good length. Mohammad Nabi looks to pull by swinging hard across the line, but the ball stays a touch low on the bounce and zips below his angled bat to clatter the stumps behind. Nabi is fuming at himself as he trudges off. Afghanistan are 81/6, in the chase of 222 runs. 81/6

12.5 OUT! OUTFOXED! Wicket number two for Bishnoi as Rashid falls. Pushed through, drifting in full and around off. Rashid gets low, opens his stance, and goes for a full-blooded slog sweep, but reads the turn wrong. He anticipates it to be a googly but it is a leg break that spins away from him. His bat comes down at an angle, letting the ball sneak underneath and crash into middle stump. Afghanistan are 89/9, staring at an enormous defeat. 89/9

11.5 OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! A triple whammy for Reddy. He is absolutely delighted and why not! A pinpoint yorker, at the base of the middle and leg stumps. Mujeeb Ur Rahman tries to jam the bat down and shovel it out, but in the process, his bat gets stuck on his back pad and the ball crashes into the stumps behind. Mujeeb cannot believe it and trudges off. Afghanistan slip further down to 82/8. India need just 2 wickets to win. 82/8

14.1 OUT! IN THE AIR...GONE! Ravi Bishnoi wraps things up here with a three-fer. INDIA WIN BY 127 RUNS AND TAKE THE SERIES 3-0! This is tossed up, full and around middle. Abdollah Ahmadzai tries to slog it over mid-wicket but gets no timing at all. It goes high in the air towards deep mid-wicket, where Axar Patel circles under the high ball and pouches it safely. All smiles in the Indian camp, while a bit of a reality check for Afghanistan. 94/10
