Highlights, India vs Afghanistan, ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Match, Full Cricket Score: Shami's hat-trick seal thrilling win for India

Jasprit Bumrah is the Man of the Match! 

Jasprit Bumrah: The captain has so much trust in you, that gives you a lot of confidence. Over here we saw that the wicket was getting slower. Was necessary to bowl accurate and stump to stump. Bit of reverse swing as well. Sometimes when you run after wickets, you don’t get wickets. It was about increasing the pressure and creating chances. (Shami back in the mix) That gives us healthy competition in the side. We talk to each other on plans and how the things are going. When everybody’s chipping in with wickets, it’s a great sign.

After 49.5 overs,Afghanistan 213/10 ( Ikram Ali Khil (W) 7 , )

Nabi smacks the ball down the ground to not only bring up his half-century, but to give the Afghan fans a real sense of hope of pulling off a massive upset. Shami though, gets rid of Nabi two balls later, the set batsman holing the ball down the ground to get himself dismissed, thereby dealing a major blow to Afghanistan’s hopes. Shami then seals it rather clinically, castling both Aftab and Mujeeb to celebrate India’s 50th World Cup victory with a hat-trick!

After 49 overs,Afghanistan 209/7 ( Mohammad Nabi 48 , Ikram Ali Khil (W) 7)

Bumrah bowls the crucial penultimate over, with Nabi on strike! Then collects two off the next ball, lofting a full toss towards long off. Nabi gets a change of bat after that shot, and collects a single off the third delivery. Ikram steers the ball towards cover for a single off the penultimate ball. Nabi collects a single off the last delivery. Bumrah finishes with 2/39. Afghanistan need 16 to win from the last over!

After 48 overs,Afghanistan 204/7 ( Mohammad Nabi 44 , Ikram Ali Khil (W) 6)

Shami brought back for his final two overs, as we head towards what is shaping into a thriller. Shami successfully appeals for leg before against Nabi, who then reviews it and manages to get the decision overturned, with the impact outside off. Collects a single off the second delivery. Shami then bowls short to Ikram, collecting back-to-back dots. Ikram smacks the ball towards deep midwicket off the last ball, coming back for a second. Afghanistan need 21 off the last 12 balls.

After 47 overs,Afghanistan 201/7 ( Mohammad Nabi 43 , Ikram Ali Khil (W) 4)

Bumrah into his penultimate over. Nabi survives a run-out scare after responding to a call for a quick single, Pandya missing out on a direct hit at the striker’s end. Nabi then piles further misery on the Indians with a well-timed strike towards the midwicket fence, collecting the first six of the innings. Bumrah then bowls back-to-back yorkers. Nabi keeps the strike with a single off the last delivery. Afghanistan need 24 to win from 18 balls.

After 46 overs,Afghanistan 193/7 ( Mohammad Nabi 36 , Ikram Ali Khil (W) 3)

Rashid collects a boundary off a reverse-sweep off the third delivery, but is stumped off the following delivery after getting beaten for turn. Ikram Ali Khil walks out to bat next, and collects a double and a single to get going right away. Eight runs and a wicket off the over. Afghanistan need 32 to win from 24 balls.

OUT! Chahal strikes again, with Dhoni whipping the bails off in a flash to result in Rashid’s dismissal! Rashid, who was starting to look dangerous, is beaten for turn and steps out of his crease. Dhoni completes the stumping in one swift movement. AFG 190/7

After 45 overs,Afghanistan 185/6 ( Mohammad Nabi 35 , Rashid Khan 10)

Nabi makes room and lofts the ball over mid off for a boundary off the first delivery. Single off the next two deliveries. Short ball to Nabi in the fourth delivery, the batsman missing it completely while looking to hook it towards square leg. Leg bye off the fifth delivery, Nabi setting off for the non-striker’s end after getting hit on the thigh pad. Jadhav makes a slip-up at deep extra cover, but manages to prevent a four in the end, restricting Rashid to two after a well-timed cut. Nine off the over. Afghanistan need 40 to win from 30 balls.

After 44 overs,Afghanistan 176/6 ( Mohammad Nabi 30 , Rashid Khan 7)

Bumrah brought back for what looks like a final burst. Rashid sets out for a single after steering a yorker through square leg. Nabi guides the ball towards mid on for one run off the very next delivery. Rashid slaps a short ball towards deep extra cover for a brace off the penultimate delivery. Dot off the last ball. Afghanistan need 49 to win from 36 balls.

Well what do I know part 2?

Pandya gets a second wicket. 126 clicks though, which is taking off the pace as I had earlier described it. More to the point however it is a credit to him that Kedar Jadhav hasn’t been used at all today.
Pandya has done the job with his bowling, despite being expensive in the first two overs. Has maintained a tight line and surprised the batsmen cleverly with pace. Huge credit to him as a bowler. India’s spinners have been largely impact less (not as much as Afghanistan spinners), but they have good enough pacers to do the job and it is turning out to be so.

After 43 overs,Afghanistan 172/6 ( Mohammad Nabi 29 , Rashid Khan 4)

Tight penultimate over from Chahal, conceding three off it including a double to Rashid in the third delivery. Pressure starting to build on the two batsmen, especially Nabi, with the required rate now touching seven-and-a-half. 53 more needed off 42 balls.

Will Bhuvi carry drinks to let out a secret to the Indian side?

After 42 overs,Afghanistan 169/6 ( Mohammad Nabi 29 , Rashid Khan 1)

Pandya bowls out the final over of his quota, adding another wicket to his quota after dismissing Najib with an off cutter in the third delivery. Four runs from the over along with the wicket. Pandya signs off with figures of 2/51 from 10 overs. Afghanistan need 56 to win from 48 balls.

OUT! Najibullah chips the slower ball straight to Chahal at deep midwicket, as Hardik strikes for the second time in his final over! While he got awy with a shot off a similar slower delivery from Shami in the previous over, he hits this one with a little more timing, due to which the ball travels straight to Chahal. AFG 166/6
