India vs Afghanistan, India win

Cricket has always been a sport that unites nations and brings people together. The recent match between India and Afghanistan was no exception. The clash of these two teams on the cricket field was highly anticipated, as both sides boasted exceptional talent and skill. However, it was India who emerged victorious in this thrilling encounter.

From the very beginning, it was evident that India had come prepared to dominate the game. Their batsmen displayed remarkable technique and precision, scoring runs effortlessly against the Afghan bowlers. The Indian captain led by example, playing a magnificent innings that left spectators in awe.

India and Afghanistan played a scintillating 3rd T20I as the match ended in a tie after the visitors chased down the target of 212 in 20 overs which led to a Super Over.

Gulbadin Naib was the man of the moment for Afghanistan as he scored 55 runs to drag his team to the target and he was aptly supported by openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran who both scored 50s of their own.

Minutes later, with two required off the last ball, Rohit, the non-striker, walked off to allow Rinku to take up the running duties. But Yashasvi Jaiswal's bottom edge went only as far as the wicketkeeper, and the second tie necessitated another Super Over. Within one ball, Rohit was ready to bat again, which, under point 22 of Appendix F of the playing conditions, should have only be allowed if Rohit had earlier retired with an injury or illness or "any other unavoidable cause".

India were now batting first. So one ball later, Rohit smoked Fareed Ahmad, India's tormentor with the new ball in regulation time, for a six and a four. If Rohit did indeed get away with one there, he would probably think he was owed one after a clearly high full toss earlier wasn't called a no-ball. Or after the umpire kept him waiting on 0, following his two ducks earlier, by calling leg byes when he had hit the leather off a ball on a leg glance. The match, though, twisted more as Fareed got Rinku out on review and then Rohit ran himself out trying to steal a bye.
