Axar Patel struck a blow to the Afghanistan team with two dismissals in the fourth over, followed by Jasprit Bumrah and Yash Thakur taking out key players respectively.
Subsequently, the Indian bowlers performed well, and with the collaboration of Ravi Bishnoi and Nitish Kumar Reddy, they managed to dismiss seven Afghan players quickly, ultimately finishing the team at 94 runs in 14.1 overs. This 127-run defeat is considered Afghanistan's heaviest loss in T20I history.
