India vs Afghanistan Asia Cup 2022 Super  India defeat Afghanistan by 101 runs

IND vs AFG Highlights: India beat Afghanistan- A century by Virat Kohli and a five-wicket haul by pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar helped Team India crush Afghanistan by 101 runs in their Super Four clash at Asia Cup 2022 and end their campaign on a winning note.

This match will be extremely memorable for Indian fans. With the bat, Indians got to see Virat hit his much-anticipated 71st ton while Men in Blue dominated the bowling too, thanks to a superb spell by Bhuveshwar Kumar in which he took five wickets for four runs. Chasing 213, Afghanistan was off to a horrendous start as pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar sent back openers Zazai and Rahmanullah Gurbaz for ducks in the first over itself.

Ibrahim Zadran was next up on the crease and tried to hold one end steady. However, Karim Janat (2) and Najibullah Zadran (0) became Kumar’s next victims and captain Mohammad Nabi was trapped lbw by Arshdeep Singh.

Afghanistan was left reeling at 21/5 in six overs. Azmatullah Omarzai was the next to be dismissed by Kumar, who gained a five-wicket haul, finishing with the best bowling figures of his career with five wickets for four runs in four overs, which also included a maiden. Dinesh Karthik took a great catch at the covers.

At the end of 10 overs, Afghanistan was 34/6, with Ibrahim Zadran (20*) and Rashid Khan (4*).

The duo of Ibrahim and Rashid Khan joined hands and helped their team cross the 50-run mark. Rashid was dismissed by Deepak Hooda’s spin for just 15 after being caught by Axar Patel at deep midwicket. Afghanistan was at 54/7 after this 33-run stand broke.
