The Indian cricket team defeated Afghanistan in the 2nd Super Over
The match between India and Afghanistan looked done and dusted when India dismissed both openers of the Afghanistan cricket team after the 12th over as they defended a target of 213 runs. However, Mohammad Nabi and GulbadinNaib put up a sensational fightback that pegged back the Indians. Nabi fell for 34 runs off 16, thus ending a 56-run stand between him and Gulbadin that came in just 22 balls. However, Gulbadin carried on as wickets fell at the other end. He ended up being unbeaten on 55 off 23, and Afghanistan tied the scores, thus incredibly pushing the match into a super over.
Both teams ended up scoring 16 runs in the first one, which meant that a second Super Over is now needed to decide the result of the match. India scored 11 runs and lost two wickets in their second Super Over innings, which means Afghanistan needed 12 runs to record their first-ever T20I match win over India. But they ended up scoring just one run and losing their two wickets, which meant that India won the second Super Over.
