Afghanistan in trouble after early wickets

June 15, 2018 13:10

Afg 44-4 (10 ovs) vs India 474-all | Scorecard

Rahmat Shah nearly perishes in the same fashion as Ahmadi. He looks to drive Ishant but the ball comes in sharply to take the inside edge which goes behind the stumps for a four.

But he gets the next off the middle, playing a nice drive through the covers for three runs as Jadeja does well to retrieve it just inside the ropes.

Umesh strikes in the next over with the wicket of Rahmat, to complete his 100 wickets in Test cricket.

Rahmat (14) is caught in the crease as he is struck right in front of the stumps to be trapped leg before wicket.

In the next over, Ishant claims the wicket of Zazai who is also beaten by the full incoming delivery to be bowled for six.

Afghanistan in a complete mess on 35 for four in the 10th over.

Captain Asghar Stanikzai has his task cut out. He gets a freebie first up, a half volley on the pads which the right-hander flicks square for a four to get off the mark in style.

He repeats the shot a few deliveries later for another boundary and bring some cheer to the Afghan fans.
