India skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to field first against Afghanistan in the second of three Twenty20 internationals on Sunday.

8:19 PM: 103/4 (14)

Arshdeep varies his pace effectively, delivering a mix of lengths, with Nabi and Najibullah managing to score through drives, pulls, and a risky run attempt.

8:00 PM: 77/3 (9) 

Dube launches an array of lengths, including a six off a full toss and a well-executed slower ball six, with some good fielding efforts preventing further damage in the over.

7:50 PM: 22/1 (3)

Shivam Dube takes the catch as Ravi Bishnoi dismisses Gurbaz. Undeterred by a flighted delivery around off, Gurbaz attempts a forceful shot over mid-on but fails to achieve the required elevation.

7:22 PM: 9/0 (1)

Arshdeep Singh opens with a mixed bag, including a wide and a flicked boundary by Gurbaz, as he faces the Afghan batsman Ibrahim Zadran.
