The strong Indian batting line up could only post a mere target of 224 against a not so feared Afganistan bowling attack on a slow wicket  in Southampton

A low score set up by the Indian batsmen put the bowlers into the much-required pressure test wherein the Indian pack of Hardik Pandya Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami didn’t just have to defend a low score but also pick up wickets at crucial and important intervals. Both the Indian speedsters showed great character and displayed their game-changing abilities on display.
