Nobody would have thought that the India-Afghanistan T20 series would end so interestingly. After the first two games of the series were one-sided, it was speculated that Team India would win the third game too, but here the Afghan team fought hard. The situation was such that this team pursued the big target of 212 runs with vigor and was able to level the score. When the game went into Super Over, this team also made a comeback after falling behind and equalized the Super Over score. To determine the outcome of the game, another super over had to be carried out, to which the Afghan team ultimately lost.
The match was very exciting. We can say that it was a breathtaking game. When Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat first at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, 4 wickets fell for 22 runs. Here, Rohit Sharma (129) and Rinku Singh (69) formed an unbeaten 190-run partnership that took Team India to 212 runs. After that, both Afghanistan openers kept the game exciting by scoring half-centuries. Later, brilliant innings from Mohammad Nabi (34) and Gulbadin Naib (55) leveled the game. Here in the last over, Afghanistan needed 19 runs to win and Gulbadin leveled the score by scoring 18 runs.
After this exciting over, the match reached the Super Over. Rohit Sharma handed the ball to Mukesh Kumar and only Gulbadin and Nabi came to bat from the Afghan side. Here Gulbadin was bowled out while trying to score two runs on the first ball. After that, Nabi could only score one run on the next ball. The Afghan team was under pressure, but here Gurbaz scored four runs on the third ball. He stole another run on the fourth ball. In this way, 7 runs were scored in the first 4 balls. This means that India had the upper hand. But on the fifth ball, Nabi calmed the spectators present in the stadium with a powerful six. This player even scored three runs on the last ball of the over.
In this way, Afghanistan had scored 16 runs in an over. Here India got off to a poor start and only two runs were scored off the first two balls. But on the third and fourth balls, Rohit Sharma hit two sixes in a row and took Team India closer to victory. A run came on the fifth ball and now two runs were needed on the last ball to win. Here Yashasvi Jaiswal could only score one run and the match ended in a draw.
The second Super Over began with an Indian bat. Here Rohit Sharma hit a six on the first ball and a four on the second ball. He scored a run on the third ball. In this way, Team India was once again in the lead, but here two wickets fell in the next two balls and so Team India could only score 11 runs in the Super Over. Here Nabi and Gurbaz came to bat for Afghanistan and both were caught within the first three balls. In this way, the second Super Over ended within three balls and the game went to Team India.
