India vs Afghanistan, Asia Cup 2018: Match ends in a tie

Dhoni's trusted lieutenant Ravindra Jadeja shepherded the lower-order with his 25 off 34 only to be holed out at deep mid-wicket off Rashid Khan, with a single needed off two balls, chasing 253. India were bowled out with one ball to spare.

K Ahmed to M Shahzad, NOT OUT! Brilliant use of the technology by Shahzad. Ahmed comes running in from 'round the wicket and bangs in a short ball around off. Shahzad tries to pull it across the line but loses his posture a bit. Fails to get it off the meat of the bat and there is some noise as it goes behind. Dhoni collects the ball, they all appeal and the finger goes up. Shahzad indicates to his partner that it has brushed his sleeves and then goes for the DRS. The replays confirm the same.

18:29 (IST) Sep 25

Mohammad Shahzad is given out caught behind. He moves away, has a chat with his partner and goes for the DRS. There was some noise. Not sure off what though...

K Yadav to G Naib, Just out of the reach of the short cover fielder, Karthik. Spinning away from the batsman after landing full, Naib swings his bat but gets a leading edge on it. It loops in the air, Karthik moves back a bit and then puts in a dive but it falls just safely. Heart in mouth stuff for Gulbadin.
