Axar Patel to Azmatullah Omarzai
A slight appeal for LBW, but it is going down leg. Turned down by the umpire too. Sliding into the batter, full on leg, Omarzai looks to work it across into the leg side but gets an inside edge onto the front pad.

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Mohammad Nabi
OUT! BOWLED! You miss, I hit, says Nitish. He keeps it plain and simple. Bowls it in line with the stumps and on a good length. Mohammad Nabi looks to pull by swinging hard across the line, but the ball stays a touch low on the bounce and zips below his angled bat to clatter the stumps behind. Nabi is fuming at himself as he trudges off. Afghanistan are 81/6, in the chase of 222 runs.

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Rashid Khan
Hits the length hard, outside off, Rashid stays leg side and flays it to deep point for a single.

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Azmatullah Omarzai
OUT! CAUGHT! There goes another and Reddy has his second wicket. Bowls it slightly fuller than a length, outside the off stump. Azmatullah Omarzai looks to carve it over deep cover, but the ball gets spooned off the toe end and Ravi Bishnoi makes no mistake with a simple catch at deep point. Afghanistan spiral down to 82/7 now.

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Mujeeb Ur Rahman
Fuller and on the pads, Mujeeb closes the bat face early to flick and gets a leading edge to backward point.

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Mujeeb Ur Rahman
OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! A triple whammy for Reddy. He is absolutely delighted and why not! A pinpoint yorker, at the base of the middle and leg stumps. Mujeeb Ur Rahman tries to jam the bat down and shovel it out, but in the process, his bat gets stuck on his back pad and the ball crashes into the stumps behind. Mujeeb cannot believe it and trudges off. Afghanistan slip further down to 82/8. India need just 2 wickets to win.

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Abdollah Ahmadzai
Gets the yorker in, on middle, Abdollah manages to somehow drop the bat down and squeeze it out on the pitch. What an over from Nitish. Three wickets and just a run from it.

Ravi Bishnoi to Rashid Khan
Full, flat, outside off, Khan drills it down to long off and denies the run.

Ravi Bishnoi to Rashid Khan
FOUR! Gets it through. A bit of a misfield there. Quicker and shorter, outside off, Khan cuts it off the back foot and Nitish is a touch late to dive to his right at backward point. The ball seeps through for a boundary.

Ravi Bishnoi to Rashid Khan
WIDE! Miles outside off, on a length. Let through by Rashid.

Ravi Bishnoi to Abdollah Ahmadzai
A slip in place now. Googly at 91 kph, full and around off, Abdollah Ahmadzai goes deep inside the crease and taps it wide of backward point for a single.

Ravi Bishnoi to Rashid Khan
 OUT! OUTFOXED! Wicket number two for Bishnoi as Rashid falls. Pushed through, drifting in full and around off. Rashid gets low, opens his stance, and goes for a full-blooded slog sweep, but reads the turn wrong. He anticipates it to be a googly but it is a leg break that spins away from him. His bat comes down at an angle, letting the ball sneak underneath and crash into middle stump. Afghanistan are 89/9, staring at an enormous defeat.

Ravi Bishnoi to Fazalhaq Farooqi
Nearly another one! Wrong'un, full and on off, turns in a bit. Fazalhaq Farooqi has a big slog across the line but misses as the ball misses the off pole by a whisker.

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Abdollah Ahmadzai

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Abdollah Ahmadzai
Swing and a miss! A slower one, full and on leg, Abdollah Ahmadzai goes through the slog across the line early and misses. Sanju Samson fails to collect it cleanly but it does not cost anything.

Ravi Bishnoi to Abdollah Ahmadzai
OUT! IN THE AIR...GONE! Ravi Bishnoi wraps things up here with a three-fer. INDIA WIN BY 127 RUNS AND TAKE THE SERIES 3-0! This is tossed up, full and around middle. Abdollah Ahmadzai tries to slog it over mid-wicket but gets no timing at all. It goes high in the air towards deep mid-wicket, where Axar Patel circles under the high ball and pouches it safely. All smiles in the Indian camp, while a bit of a reality check for Afghanistan.
