2nd T20I between India and Afghanistan: Action in PicturesWith the lightning-fast half-centuries of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube, India humiliated Afghanistan’s 173-run target.
In their second Twenty20 International in Indore on Sunday, India defeated Afghanistan six wickets to seal a 2-0 victory for the hosts in the three-match series. The victory was fueled by lightning-fast half-centuries by Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube as well as an outstanding bowling effort from Axar Patel.

Afghanistan failed to establish a significant partnership, but Gulbadin Naib’s solid 57 off 35 balls set them up for a respectable total. The momentum was sustained by Najibullah Zadran (23), Karim Janat (20), and Mujeeb Ur Rahman (21) after he was dismissed by spinner Axar Patel (2-17) in the twelfth over. (ANI)

India’s ability to limit Afghanistan to a score of 172 was largely due to Axar Patel. Axar repelled Afghanistan for runs in the first ten overs on a calm pitch, returning figures of 2/17 in his four overs. (PTI)
