Captain Hashimatullah Shahidi and Azmatullah Omarzai brought up their fifties and stitched a 121-run fourth-wicket stand to propel Afghanistan towards a competitive score against India. AP

Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4/39, his best ICC World Cup performance, helping India restrict Afghanistan below 300. AP

India then got off to a fiery start thanks to Rohit, who tore the Afghan attack to pieces with his knock that ended up breaking quite a few records. AP

Rashid Khan was the only Afghan bowler among the wickets, dismissing both openers Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma though it only delayed the inevitable. AP

Virat Kohli remained unbeaten on 55, scoring his second consecutive half-century, as India chased down the 273-run target with 15 overs to spare. AP
