Rohit Sharma’s brilliant unbeaten knock of 121 runs off 69 balls rescued India after a disastrous start of 22-4, reaching 212-4. Afghanistan fought back with Gulbadin Naib’s 55 off 23, leveling the score at 212-6 and forcing a super over.
The first super-over ended in a tie, with both teams scoring 16. Then, Rohit Sharma led India to 11-1 in just three balls in the second super-over. Ravi Bishnoi’s exceptional bowling, conceding only one run and taking two wickets, secured India’s victory.
