After a cautious start, Rohit shifted gears and attacked the Afghan bowlers, including star spinner Rashid Khan. Jaiswal looked comfortable from the start and reached his century in just 83 balls to seal the match in style with a six. India eventually reached 224 for one in just 28.4 overs.The duo ensured there were no hiccups in the chase, with Jaiswal registering his second ODI hundred and Rohit narrowly missing a century after falling on 79.

Prasidh Krishna’s five-for gives India the advantage

Earlier, Prasidh Krishna played with the ball and took a career-best 5 for 23 to reduce Afghanistan to 36 for four in the first 10 overs. The opener removed Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmat Shah and Darwish Rasooli in a devastating opening spell.Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi then put up a spirited fightback with his maiden ODI hundred. The left-hander scored 102 off 131 balls and shared a crucial partnership with Azmatullah Omarzai, who made 50, and Mohammad Nabi to guide the visitors to 218.Despite Shahidi’s valiant effort, Afghanistan’s total proved insufficient. India dominated with both ball and bat to wrap up another comprehensive victory and complete the unbeaten streak. The visitors were also given a five-run penalty after Shahidi repeatedly entered a dangerous area of ​​the pitch during the innings.
