India: 206 all out
Rohit Sharma led India to an unassailable lead against Afghanistan with an outstanding century batting in their three-match series, smashing eight sixes and seven boundaries during his 116-ball innings, inching closer towards double century status.
India created an amazing 167-run partnership between him and Shubman Gill to give India complete control of the game. Gill played an essential part by keeping his wicket intact with effective front/back foot play techniques.
After an initial slow start to their innings, India’s middle order batsmen quickly came alive as they tore apart Afghanistan’s bowling attack. Ajay Devgn and Virat Kohli both contributed significantly – Ajay scoring an additional 84 runs from just 24 deliveries while helping reach an all out score of 206 for 6.
Ashwin took five wickets as Bangladesh were dismissed for 234 in their second innings. Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto batted brilliantly for the tourists, scoring an outstanding 82 (127b, 8×4, 3×6) but could not prevent Ashwin’s six-wicket haul and subsequent onslaught from Indian bowlers.
Ravindra Jadeja proved invaluable with a three-wicket haul, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2-53) and Axar Patel (1-8) contributed other wickets for India.
2021 runners-up New Zealand is currently sitting in last place of Group C after suffering a 104-run defeat at the hands of Afghanistan. Rahmanullah Gurbaz led their Asian squad in scoring an unbeaten 80 off 56 balls – his second fifty of the tournament and well supported by Litton Das’ 36 from 38 deliveries – however this wasn’t enough to prevent their heavy loss as Afghanistan took full advantage of New Zealand’s miscue and took full advantage by beating New Zealand by three runs; they now face Scotland next and currently sit fourth overall with an improved net run rate than both Papula New Guinea and Sri Lanka despite both having lost two matches so far!
Afghanistan: 106 all out
Afghanistan defeated India to reach the semi-finals for the first time ever in history. Led by Rashid Khan, Afghanistan impressed everyone by combining an effective bowling attack and fearsome batting line-up into one impressive performance that sent shockwaves through global cricket. Afghanistan now guarantees their participation in all future editions of this competition and are guaranteed ODI status going forward.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli produced an outstanding batting display to help India post a competitive 181/8 total against Afghanistan in Dallas, USA for the Super 8 game. Unfortunately, both players were dismissed soon thereafter leaving India’s batsmen struggling to maintain the required run rate.
India saw their game unravel after Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran and Hazratullah Zazai all fell within the powerplay. Azmatullah Omarzai and Mohammad Nabi helped keep India within striking distance – though unfortunately Nabi fell just short of making a century.
Afghanistan was back on track after Nabi hit a six off the third ball of an over. However, Jadeja quickly put a stop to any potential comeback with an impressive wicket-taking delivery and Nabi was eventually caught at deep midwicket off a straight delivery as their total was reduced to 206/7.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Hazratullah Zazai are two new batsmen for Afghanis. Together, the duo shared an outstanding second-wicket partnership of 115 runs before Zazai was out off his third ball – thanks to an angled delivery by Rashid which beat his attempted slash and went for four runs!
Hardik Pandya took control of the fourth over, starting it off with singles and a leg bye off his first two deliveries before an edge off a wide third delivery and finally an edge in single off his final delivery as India continued their dominance of this match.
Arshdeep Singh took charge of the third over. A couple of singles came off of his first two deliveries before Noor hit No.5 over long on for one run and one leg bye off the second was followed by an overthrow to make this four-run over a success.
Gurbaz came angling in off the stump and called wide before striking an outstanding shot over deep midwicket for SIX! A brilliant stroke.

Afghanistan struggled in their chase, losing five wickets before reaching 206/4. Sediqullah Atal led with an 83 off 52 balls while Zubaid Akbari and Karim Janat also contributed significantly.
Indian batsmen looked in control as they reached 100/3 in the 10th over, but Nehal Wadhera was run out after an entertaining attempt at taking single off leg spinner Qais Ahmad but ended up getting bowled instead. Afghans also missed several easy runs which kept their total at bay.
Ramandeep Singh then used a slow ball from Ramandeep Singh to dismiss Atal with an easy catch at long off for Badoni – after reviewing their original decision.
Karim Janat joined Ramandeep in the middle, and started off on an impressive note, smashing two sixes over long off and fours down the ground before reaching his fifty off 41 balls – creating hope of victory for Afghanistan with an unlikely win. Karim shared in an unbroken 68-run stand with Ramandeep to give Afghanistan some hope of an unlikely win.
