India 75-0 (14 ovs) vs Afghanistan | Scorecard

The Snickometre shows some spike as the ball passes the edge of Dhawan's bat in the previous over. Afghanistan's dressing room are left shocked and are wondering as to why the captain didn't go for the review.

Meanwhile, Dhawan continues to prosper as he comes down the track to Nabi and lofts him straight down the ground for a six.

A single to Dhawan before Vijay plays the sweep shot for a four to take India past the 50-run mark, in the 11th over.

A long first spell for Wafadar, who looks to bowl it tight as he sends down his second maiden over, he has conceded just 14 runs from his six overs.

Dhawan continues to maintain the tempo. In the next over, he sweeps Nabi powerfully for a four before chipping down and crashing the next delivery through the covers for the same result.

At the first drinks break, India have cruised to 62 for no loss in 13 overs, with Dhawan racing to 39 from 43 balls and Vijay on 13 from 35 balls.

Afghanistan's spin sensation Rashid Khan comes into the attack, to bowl the 14th over.

Vijay takes a single from the first ball before Dhawan punches a full toss through the leg side for a four.

Two balls later, he pulls a short ball through midwicket for another four before he despatches another full toss for the third four of the over to race to his fifty, from 47 balls.
