India secured a convincing 47-run victory over Afghanistan in their Super 8 match of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Kensington Oval in Barbados. The Indian bowling unit, led by Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh, played a crucial role in restricting Afghanistan’s batting efforts.
India’s batting performance was led by Rohit Sharma, who scored 43 runs off 30 balls. The Indian captain’s innings was supported by Virat Kohli, who contributed 34 runs off 24 balls. The duo’s partnership helped India post a respectable total of 185 runs.
In response, Afghanistan’s batting struggled to gain momentum. Their top-order batsmen, including Hazratullah Zazai and Usman Ghani, failed to make significant contributions. The Afghan team managed to score only 138 runs in their allotted 20 overs, ultimately falling short of the target by 47 runs.
Bumrah and Arshdeep were the standout bowlers for India, taking three and two wickets respectively. The Indian duo’s impressive bowling display helped to restrict Afghanistan’s scoring and secure the win.
India’s victory over Afghanistan has boosted their chances of advancing to the semifinals of the T20 World Cup 2024. The team will look to continue their winning momentum in their upcoming matches.
