Chasing the total in both games, Shivam Dube was the star of the show for India as he notched up back-to-back unbeaten half-centuries.

Afghanistan notched up 172 runs in their allotted 20 overs, thanks to GulbadinNaib’s 57(35) and some decent contributions from the lower middle-order batters. After an early setback to the chase in the form of skipper Rohit Sharma’s wicket, Jaiswal and Kohli put up a 57-run stand for the second wicket as the former took charge.
