India vs Afghanistan 3rd T20I Super Over HIGHLIGHTS: IND wins 2nd Super Over after Bishnoi removes Gurbaz, Nabi

It needed 40 overs and then four more to get a result here in Bengaluru. After all the twists and turns, it is India which comes out on top. Rohit Sharma single-handedly ensured his side got over the finish line. First, in the first innings and then in the Super Overs. Afghanistan’s wait for its first win against India continues.

WICKET! India wins it! Another slog that ends in the hands of the long off fielder. Bishnoi gets Gurbaz too and that’s the end of the contest.

A wide yorker from Bishnoi, and Karim Janat can only get a single.

WICKET! Bishnoi goes for a wrong one and Nabi is at his default mode for the delivery. He swings at it with a horizontal bat and holes out at long off.

Mohammad Nabi and Rahmanullah Gurbaz start. Ravi Bishnoi to bowl the Super Over for India.

The wait continues to know who comes out for Afghanistan.

Definitely, tails up for Afghanistan at the half way mark.

It looks like it will be Avesh Khan who will bowl. But Ravi Bishnoi also has the ball in his hand.

Sanju Samson is the new batter. Two balls left in the over.

OUT! Samson misses the slog and as the Indian batters try to steal a single, Gurbaz fires in his throw and gets the wickets.

RINKU! RINKU! chants in the stadium as the bowler takes his run up. Rinku misses the slog. Gurbaz thinks there is an edge and the Afghans go up for a review. The UltraEdge shows a spike and Afghanistan has a precious wicket and a dot ball.

Rohit is able to dig out this yorker and complete a single.

FOUR! Rohit gives everything on that shot. The result is the bat face opens up and the ball goes flying over the short third man.

SIX! Rohit Sharma smacks it right back over the bowler’s head.

It will be Rohit and Rinku for the Indians. However, Omarzai will not be able to bowl. So it is Fareed Ahmad for Afghanistan.

India will bat first in the second Super Over.

Just one run! We go into another Super Over. Oh my! Can you believe this? Jaiswal gets an under-edge and Gurbaz is able to get the ball. Rinku despite his best effort is only able to steal a single.

Jaiswal on strike. 

Oh hang on! Rohit Sharma is going off and Rinku Singh is coming on. That’s presumably because Rinku can run faster than the skipper.

A single! Omarzai puts it wide and takes the pace off. Rohit Sharma cuts but only gets one run off to point.

India needs 2 from 1 delivery.

SIX MORE! This time on the off side. Rohit makes use of the width and lofts the ball over covers.

SIX! ROHIT DELIVERS! It is in the slot and Rohit swings at it. The ball hangs in the air for an eternity before landing over the mid wicket boundary.

Jaiswal goes for a ramp shot but miscues, ends up getting a single to fine leg.

Rohit misses a full toss. The ball dies right next to the stumps and the keeper charges in but misses the throw.

Rohit Sharma on strike for the first ball. It will be Omarzai for Afghanistan.

Yashasvi Jaiswal is one of the batters ready at the boundary.

Afghanistan, meanwhile, is on the field ready to get going with the contest. Rohit Sharma is the second batter to walk out for the Super Over.

It is an uphill task for the Indians here. The six off the fifth delivery really swings the momentum in favour of Afghanistan. Yet to see who walks out to bat for the home team.

There is some controversy here! Nabi misses the shot but the batters complete a bye. The throw from Samson from behind the wickets hits Nabi and gets deflected to long on which allows two more runs. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are unhappy that the Afghan pair continued running. But the three runs stand eventually.

SIX!! In the slot from Mukesh. Nabi extends his levers and clears the long on boundary.

Gurbaz slashes through point for a single. 

Gurbaz gets a thick outside edge and the ball flies past the third man fielder for FOUR!

Mohammad Nabi with a single off his first delivery. Another accurate yorker from the bowler.

It is a wicket on the first delivery for India. Naib is run out! Mukesh goes bang into the block hole. Naib is able to dig it out to long on but sees himself fall short while coming back to the crease.

Gulbadin Naib and Rahmanullah Gurbaz will start the innings for the Afghan Atalan.

Mukesh Kumar to bowl

It will be the team batting second i.e. Afghanistan which will get to bat first in the Super Over.

Mukesh Kumar had 19 runs to defend in the final over and he ended up conceding 18. A splendid knock from Gulbadin Naib which allowed Afghanistan to drag the match to a Super Over.
