IND vs AFG: Indian bowlers showed dominance

The Afghanistan team, which came to bat in response to the huge target of 564 runs, looked under pressure from the very beginning. Indian bowlers consistently bowled on the right line and length and did not give the batsmen a chance to play freely. Afghanistan kept losing wickets at regular intervals, due to which no major partnership could be formed. By the end of the second day’s play, Afghanistan had scored 113 runs at the loss of 5 wickets. For India, Manav Suthar took 3 wickets while Prasidh Krishna took 2 wickets.
