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.

A Alam to K Yadav, WATCH IT! Oh dear... Samiullah Shenwari is down. Full on middle and leg, Kuldeep flicks this beautifully through square leg. The throw comes in from Gulbadin Naib as the batsmen take the second. The bowler is in the middle of the pitch, shouting at the fielder as to what is he doing. Naib returns a quick throw to the keeper who tries to collect and whip the bails off but is unable to collect the ball. It hits his left glove and then hits Shenwari backing up behind, on his left cheek, just below the eye. He blames Shahzad for not collecting that but if truth be told, it is not anyone's mistake.

M Nabi to K Yadav, IN THE GAP! Lucky me. Or lucky Kuldeep, shall I say. He tries to flick across the line but gets a leading edge. However, the ball flies between cover and point! A single taken.

A Alam to D Chahar, OUT! BOWLED! Aftab has struck! Chahar is beaten by pace. A length ball, on middle, Deepak looks to flick but the ball hits his pads and then deflects onto the off stump. The Afghan supporters go wild in the crowd. Aftab is excited and runs all around the park. This match well... seems to be heading down to the wire. 27 more needed from 31 balls.
