Afghanistan A Stun India A Thriller
Afghanistan A upset India A with eight wickets in hand in a rain-hit Sri Lanka hosted One-Day Tri-Series at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium.
Afghanistan A played a complete superior performance to make afg vs ind into a one sided chase. Abdollah Ahmadzai provided an outstanding five-wicket performance to lay the foundation for a good game. India A’s middle and lower order were unable to build on a solid foundation provided by their top order, as his spell took them aback.
India A had set an impressive 349/9 on the board in the 49 overs. Prabhsimran Singh, captain Tilak Varma and Ruturaj Gaikwad all scored half-centuries to lead the innings. India A did not make it into becoming a match winner despite their prolific batting, as Afghanistan A had several breakthroughs from the bowlers.
In reply, Afghanistan A were motivated and disciplined to go after the ball. Captain Imran Mir set the tone with a steady 50, as they chased a big target in a controlled manner. Bahir Shah’s fifty was also vital to keep the chase stable under pressure and he was well supported by the skipper.
The partnership approach helped Afghanistan A not lose pace despite their rattling of a target of more than 340. They were very selective with their shots and made good use of loose deliveries.
It was a showcase of Afghanistan A’s depth in the bowling and hitting departments that was highlighted in afg vs ind. India A had a fine performance overall, but missed out on early breakthroughs. Thus, this will be considered as a statement win for Afghanistan A in the high-scoring conditions as they are now able to face and beat the traditionally better cricket team Pakistan A.
