the eighth over
Axar reappears. Azmatullah locates the backward point fielder by cutting near the stumps. Azmatullah receives a single at wide long-on because of his poor connection.
20 JUNE 2024 22:33
AFG 30.3 in 7 overs
QUARTER! As he enters the assault, Hardik Pandya fires off a half-volley. For a boundary, Azmatullah leans into it and cracks it via the opening in the cover region. With a quick dart, Hardik loops up near the point fielder by Gulbadin’s shoulder. Once more, Gulbadin fails to make the pull shot. To end the over, Gulbadin allows another slower short delivery to reach the keeper.

AFG 6 overs, 35/3
Once more, here comes Axar. SIX! Gulbadin’s maximum to finish the over. Gulbadin remained on the back foot and flicked this over midwicket because the surface was too short.

AFG 37-8 in 5 overs
Once more, bumrah. OUT! Zazai has left. A cutter is bowled by Bumrah, giving him a leading edge. Pointed with a balloon. Next is Azmatullah Omarzai. QUARTER! Yorker, and for some reason, Omarzai stops his bat and gains an outside edge that passes through the slip cordon and heads for the boundary. To conclude the over, add two more dots.

AFG 3 overs and 23/1
Arshdeep goes on. Ibrahim drives this through in order to score one. Zazai pushed him to mid-off for one more. QUARTER! Ibrahim whacked Ibrahim behind the point for a boundary, giving it a little width. DROPPED! Ibrahim can’t believe it when Kohli drops him in the sixth point. This was propelled into the air and broke through Kohli’s fingers, causing damage to his skull. Two singles to bring the over to a close.
20 JUNE 2024 22:09
AFG 14-0 in 2 overs
It’s Jasprit Bumrah coming. OUT! And he hits his second ball, destroying Gurbaz. As Gurbaz tries to reach this one from the crease, Bumrah goes really wide outside off and gets a bottom edge.
Ibrahim Zadran is the next to enter. From the over and the wicket, just a single.

AFG 13-0 in 1 over
For Afghanistan, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Hazratullah Zazai will open the innings. Arshdeep Singh grasping the sphere. Calling broad and angling out to one side. QUARTER! Brazen. Gurbaz steps out and hits his first boundary, simply lifting this over the bowler’s head. Gurbaz tries to sprint down the wicket, but Arshdeep digs it in, angling away across him and stopping his attempted off-side cut. Another wide ball is the next one. defeated The ball barely bends away somewhat to beat Gurbaz’s outside edge on a solid length off-stump. SIX! Gurbaz comes out to bat once more. He rips a length ball over deep midwicket for a brilliant maximum. Gurbaz dabbed to short third to conclude the over on a single.

SKY’s interview during halftime
I like to bat seventh or fifteen overs. The hardest part of the game is when the opposing bowlers try to exert control. In that stage, I prefer to be in command; it’s fun. I began to bite my gum more forcefully after Virat Kohli left. I simply trusted my intuition and my game. Since we’ve played a lot of cricket together, Rohit Sharma is familiar with my style of play. He just sits back and loves it because he understands my game. That sum is respectable. Now let’s see what transpires.
