Despite Rashid Khan's improved bowling figures of 3/26 against India, Suryakumar Yadav's exceptional innings of 53 off 28 balls propelled India to a total of 181 for 8 after they chose to bat first on a surface that made it difficult to hit through the line. Afghanistan's run chase never gained momentum, and they were bowled out for 134 in exactly 20 overs. The Afghan batters' questionable shot selection contributed to their downfall and extended their winless streak against India.
