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 M Pandey, OUT! Caught behind! Afghanistan are getting some quick wickets here. This is full and outside off, a touch wide, Pandey looks to drive when it is not on a driveable length. But there is no feet movement and it results in an outside edge. Shahzad collects but neither the keeper nor the bowler appeal. Pandey stays over there but then the umpire sends him on his way. If my memory serves me correct, when Australia toured India in 2017 for the ODIs, Nathan Coulter-Nile got him in a similar fashion caught behind the wickets in the first game.

A Alam to M Pandey, Oh dear! Pandey lines himself for a big slog but then the bowler bowls it miles outside off. Now, Pandey thinks it will be a wide but it just grazes the line. So the Free Hit is a dot ball!

23:23 (IST) Sep 25

FREE HIT TIME! Where can Pandey deposit this? The field can be changed since the batsmen changed strike.
