June 14, 2018 10:21

India 42-0 (10 ovs) vs Afghanistan | Scorecard

Wafadar drifts down the leg side as Vijay misses the flick but again manages to pick up four leg byes.

Dhawan continues to grow in confidence. A full delivery on the leg stump from Ahmadzai is clipped over square leg for a four by the left-hander before he crashes a half-volley through the covers for the same result.

Dhawan then glances the fifth delivery fine on the leg side for the third four of the over, which goes for 13 runs.

In the next over, Vijay plays another loose shot, chasing a wide one as he gets a thick outside edge which flies past the second slip fielder for a four.

Spin introduced as off-spinner Mohammed Nabi comes into the attack. He makes a tidy start, giving away just a single in his first over.

Wafadar switches to around the wicket. He is bowling it a bit too wide as Dhawan is happy to watch them go through.

He then gets one to come in sharply as Dhawan is hit on the pads trying to play the flick and is beaten but the leg before appeal is turned down.

The next ball holds it's line with some extra bounce as Dhawan is beaten all ends up as Afghanistan wicketkeeper goes up in appeal but the umpire is not interested.

Captain Stanikzai discusses with the bowler Wafadar and wicketkeeper Afsar Zazai before deciding not to take the review.

A good start for India after winning the toss as they reach 42 for no loss in 10 overs, with Dhawan on 24 and Vijay on eight.
