India vs Afghanistan Live Score | 1st T20: Rohit Sharma run-out

This is one of the worst starts possible for Rohit Shram and India as Shubman Gill was ball-watching and never listened to the call of his partner, who wanted a single.

Both the batters are at the same end and Rohit is run-out.

India vs Afghanistan Live Score | 1st T20: Afghans finish at 158/5

Over Summary: 4 1 0 WD 1 4 4; AFG 158-5 after 20 overs

Karim Janat (9), Najibullah Zadran (19); Arshdeep Singh 4-1-28-0

Four off the first ball again from Najibullah and this time around he gets a single off the second to try and get past 150 as quickly as possible. Dot ball and Arshdeep utilises his skills to get it away from Janatt, who was standing near the wide-ball mark on the off-side.

This time around Janat stays in his crease and the ball is at the same place agin and thus called a wide. 150 up for the Afghans with two balls yet to come.

Tilak Varma nearly caught a blinder here as he chased the ball down from short third-man till the third-man boundary and dived to take it, running back, but was unable to hold on to it.

The yorker also goes for a four past the deep backward square leg and Afghans will get 15 from the last over to finish at 158/5. India would need 159 to win the match.

India vs Afghanistan Live Score | 1st T20: 13 from the over

Over Summary: 4 0 1 0 4 4; AFG 143-4 after 19 overs

Karim Janat (8), Najibullah Zadran (6); Washington Sundar

3-0-27-0

Four off the first ball dropped off the second and single of the third. So far so good from Washington Sundar who is bowling the 19th. Dot off the fourth one as Janat tries to hit out of Mohali, but gets no connection. This time he is smart enough to guide it over infield for a four. Carved through the off-side for four and it becomes a 13-run over.

India vs Afghanistan Live Score | 1st T20: Double-wicket over from Mukesh

Over Summary: W 0 1 1 Wd N L1 W; AFG 130-4 after 18 overs

Mohammad Nabi (42), Najibullah Zadran (1); Mukesh Kumar

4-0-33-2

Mukesh has carried on the momentum built by Arshdeep as he bowls one outside off and asks Omarzai to play at it, who chops it back on to the stumps.

No ball!! Bizarre bowling from Mukesh Kumar as he keeps going short and bowls two over-the-shoulder bouncers and it is called a no-ball. No ball dies no harm as it only gets Nabi back on strike courtesy of a single on the free hit.

Wicket!! Nabi chased a wide ball and could only hit it to a deep backward point where Rinku Singh caught the ball easily to give the Afghans their fifth blow.

Over Summary: 0 1 0 1 Wd 1 1; AFG 125-3 after 17 overs

Mohammad Nabi (41), Azmatullah Omarzai (29); Arshdeep Singh

3-1-13-0

Brilliant bowling from Arshdeep Singh as he goes for only two runs in his first four balls of the over. Bowls a wide on the fifth one though. Just five runs from the over and it has been a stupendous one against the run of play.

India vs Afghanistan Live Score | 1st T20: Fifty partnership between Nabi and Omarzai

Over Summary: 1 1 6 6 0 1; AFG 120-3 after 16 overs

Mohammad Nabi (39), Azmatullah Omarzai (27); Mukesh Kumar

3-0-29-0

Fifty partnership has come up between Nabi and Omrzai and it has come up in only 32 balls. A real rescue work by these two for Afghans.

Back-to-back sixes by Nabi as he hits one on the short ball through the off side and then picks the slower length ball and deposits it over deep mid-wicket as well. Mukesh bowls a slower low-full toss on the next ball and gets off the hook as it goes for no runs.
