India vs Afghanistan: India registered a victory against Afghanistan in the third match of the Super-8 stage of the T20 World Cup 2024.
India won the toss and decided to bat first, and India started with their opening duo, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Afghanistan’s left-arm pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi brought trouble for the skipper as he picked up Rohit Sharma’s wicket in the third over of the match. Rishabh Pant hit some exciting shots to run the scoreboard as Virat Kohli was rotating strikes from the other end, but with the end of the powerplay when Rashid Khan started his spell, India lost two quick wickets as Rishabh Pant and Virat Kohli got out. India was three down with less score on the board. Then came Suryakumar Yadav, who batted in his rhythm and made the batting look easy on the surface. The right-handed batter scored his fifty and got the support of Hardik Pandya, who played well to take his team beyond the score of 150 runs. India posted a total of 181/8 at the end of 20 overs.
Chasing 182 runs, Afghanistan’s start was explosive. Rahmanullah Gurbaz hit some good shots in the beginning, but Jasprit Bumrah was too good for him and dismissed the batter in the next over after the first wicket batters of Afghanistan looked ineffective in front of India’s bowling attack and lost their wickets at regular intervals. Azmatuallah Omarzai was the highest run scorer for his team; he scored 26 runs. Afghanistan scored 134 at the end of 20 overs and lost the match by 47 runs.

T20 World Cup 2024 Super-8: India vs Afghanistan| Captains’ Corner
The last two years we’ve played T20s here, so we understand the conditions and planned accordingly. We adapted well and got 180, which was a great effort from the batters. We had class bowlers who defended it perfectly. Everyone came in and did their job, that’s critical and we dwell on it. SKY and Hardik’s partnership was critical at that point, we needed someone to bat deep which they did. We know Bumrah’s class and what he can do. Important for us to use him smartly regardless of conditions. He’s willing to responsibility and he’s been doing it for years. (Three-spinners combination) Have to assess conditions, opposition and based on that we’re open to make changes if required.
Rohit Sharma(India Captain) said post-match
We knew we’d be chasing 160-170 given it was against a bigger team. We could’ve done it had we executed smarter. My bowling has been coming out well, I struggled early in the IPL but am hitting the right areas consistently. but it’s the match result that matters most. We’ve enjoyed our cricket everywhere but our mindset is what matters. If the conditions are helpful, we’ll use it depending on if it’s a batting or bowling track.
Rashid Khan(Afghanistan Captain) said post-match
