- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 Bishnoi strikes second ball. Full again, just outside off. Gurbaz looks to go aerial down the ground but the ball hits the inside part of the bat. No elevation either and Dube takes a simple catch at mid-on 20/15.4 castles him. A length ball around off, bowled at 91kph, perhaps a touch slower than the previous one. Zadran pushes at it but gets beaten by the turn and the off stump has been pegged back 53/211.3 90kph. Drags it towards the leg side but ends up hitting it straight to short midwicket. Was a length ball around off, and Axar delivered it from well in front of the popping crease, thus changing his length without any change in action 91/46.5 Dube too strikes in his first over. Was a back-of-the-hand slower one. It pitched on a length in the line of the stumps and kept a touch low. Omarzai swung across, missed it and lost his wicket 60/314.2 a length ball around off. Nabi stays back and launches it towards long-off. But don't think he middled it. It went up in the air and Rinku settled under it right at the edge of the boundary line 104/517.1 a legcutter. On a length around off. Najib goes for the pull but gets a bottom edge onto the stumps 134/619.1 full outside off. Janat goes aerial but doesn't get the required distance and Axar takes a simple catch at long-off 164/719.5 a length ball but way outside off. Naveen swings and misses. Mujeeb took off for a bye but lack of game awareness from Naveen who didn't move. Jitesh lobs the ball to Arshdeep who breaks the stumps 171/919.5 full on the stumps. Helicoptered towards wide long-on. Kohli moves to his right and takes it comfortably 170/819.6 a yorker. Naveen jams his bat at it and takes off. Jitesh collects the ball and underarms it towards the stumps. And he misses. The batters are going for an overthrow but Jaiswal from square leg has the ball and it's race between Farooqi and him to the non-striker's end. Jaiswal wins, and breaks the stumps to run Farooqi out 172/10Extras11 (lb 4, w 7)TOTAL172 all out (20 Overs, RR: 8.6)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 2.2 ov), 2-53 (Ibrahim Zadran, 5.4 ov), 3-60 (Azmatullah Omarzai, 6.5 ov), 4-91 (Gulbadin Naib, 11.3 ov), 5-104 (Mohammad Nabi, 14.2 ov), 6-134 (Najibullah Zadran, 17.1 ov), 7-164 (Karim Janat, 19.1 ov), 8-170 (Noor Ahmad, 19.5 ov), 9-171 (Mujeeb Ur Rahman, 19.5 ov), 10-172 (Fazalhaq Farooqi, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.3 gone, outside edge behind! Indore is left shocked, as if Jaiswal could never get out. This went off the inside edge, and dipped on to Gurbaz, who went low to grab this. Janat bowled on a length just outside off, angling it into the left-hander, as Jaiswal looked to hack, but did that without any foot movement 154/30.5 bowled him! Rohit looked to be aggressive first ball, as he backed away, but ended up getting dismissed. The Indore crowd is stunned. Farooqi is on top. He bowled on the shorter side of a length on middle, getting it to shape away while also getting good bounce. The ball ended up hitting bang on the top of off as Rohit looked to pull but missed, as Afghanistan strike in the first over of their defense 5/15.3 chipped to mid-off! The bat turned in his hands as he lofted that, and that was a hint that it wasn't well timed. Ibrahim at mid-off barely had to move to his left, and take it high with a reverse cup, as Kohli went lifting this full delivery just outside off. But the ball seemed to have come off the bottom of the bat, which turned as he looked to loft 62/212.6 taken at mid-off! Jitesh falls with victory in sight, and with a lot of time left. This short-of-a-length ball again seemed to have skidded through on to off stump, taking the higher side of Jitesh's bat, as he looked to swat this back. Nabi got a comfortable catch in the end, as Janat struck again 156/4Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL173/4 (15.4 Overs, RR: 11.04)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Rohit Sharma, 0.5 ov), 2-62 (Virat Kohli, 5.3 ov), 3-154 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 12.3 ov), 4-156 (Jitesh Sharma, 12.6 ov)
