India showcased an emphatic performance against Afghanistan, securing a series victory with a game in hand. Chasing Afghanistan's challenging total of 172, India's batting duo, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube, exhibited remarkable prowess. Jaiswal's explosive innings of 68 runs off 34 balls, combined with Dube's quickfire 63* off 32 deliveries, propelled India to a comprehensive victory in just 15.4 overs.
The Afghan innings saw Gulbadin Naib's half-century and late cameos, guiding them to their highest total against India. However, India's bowlers, led by Axar Patel and Shivam Dube, picked up crucial wickets at regular intervals to keep Afghanistan in check.
Despite a brief resurgence from Afghanistan with Karim Janat taking two wickets in the 13th over, Dube and Rinku Singh ensured there was no collapse in the Indian batting order. Their partnership sealed India's triumph, with the required rate comfortably under 2.5 an over.
This commanding win follows India's first-ever Test victory in Cape Town, solidifying their position at the top of the World Test Championship standings. As India continues its dominant run, Jaiswal and Dube's exceptional performances stand out, contributing significantly to the team's success in the T20 series against Afghanistan.
