September 25, 2018 17:46

Afg 63-0 (10 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

No stopping Shahzad as he pulls a short ball from Kaul over midwicket for a boundary.

The next ball is pitched up and Shahzad has no problems despatching it over the covers for another boundary to race to 49.

Shahzad smashes the fifth ball powerfully looking to lift over mid-off but can't get enough elevation. However, Ambati Rayudu puts down a simple catch as Shahzad picks up a single to race to his fifty, from 37 balls.

Shahzad goes after Jadeja as he sweeps the spinner over long-on for a six. He makes room and tries to hit the left-armer through the off-side but can't find the gap.

A good comeback from Jadeja after the first ball six as he follows it up with five dot balls in a row.

Afghanistan are off to a flying start as they race to 63 for no loss in 10 overs with Shahzad playing an entertaining innings of 56 from 43 balls, while Ahmadi has been a spectator from the other end with three from 18 balls.
