Ball 3: Mukesh to Gurbaz: 4 runs

Ball 4: Mukesh to Gurbaz 1 run

Ball 6: Mukesh to Nabi 3 Byes. They take byes on the final ball. This was wide well outside the off stump. Nabi misses and runs, Samson throws to the bowler's end and the ball deflects from his legs and runs down to long on. They take 2 more, Rohit is not happy.

Gulbadin and Gurbaz are in for the Super over for AFG. Mukesh to bowl for India and India have picked a wicket off the very first ball. It's Gulbadin, who has been run-out. Nabi comes in now

Wow, Gulbadin takes it in Super overs. What a great chase this was from Afghanistan. They ran India for all the money. 19 were needed off the final over and Gulbadin took 18 off Mukesh

Ball 1: Wide

Ball 1: Four

Ball 3: WD

Ball 3: 2 runs

Ball 4: Six. Fifty for Naib. 2 runs needed off 2

Ball 5: 2 runs

Ball 6: 2 runs. It's tie

17 off the second last over and it is still alive. Gulbadin is keeping the visitors in the hunt and 19 are now needed off the final over, Mukesh to bowl the final over and Gulbadin is on strike.

This is still not completely over. Gulbadin gets two boundaries and it comes down to 36 off 12 balls. Avesh to bowl the penultimate over.

And Nabi perishes off a poor ball. This was wide short and he hit that over covers but could not clear the fence as Avesh completed the catch. AFG 163/4 after 16.2

Nabi is not giving up anytime soon. He is taking the counter-attacking the Indian attack. He collected 17 and 19 runs from Kuldeep and Bishnoi's overs. AFG need 51 off 24 balls. 

And Afghanistan have gone 3 down now. Sundar is now doing the trick as he gets two wickets off consecutive balls. He removes Ibrahim Zadran stumped out before getting Omarzai caught at deep mid-wicket. AFG 108/3 after 13

Sundar has taken a wonderful sharp catch. This was on a good length from Kuldeep, Gurbaz tried to cut it over covers but could not get much elevation as Sundar leapt up to grab it. Gurbaz walks back after scoring a fifty. Afghanistan 98/1 after 12

India are applying breaks on Afghanistan now. The fine start is converting into a dull middle phase. Only 16 runs came from the next three overs. 

Fine start for Afghanistan. They have made 51 from the first 6 overs.

Afghanistan openers - Gurbaz and Zadran are out in the middle and they look to make a strong start

1. This is the highest partnership for India for any wicket. 
2. 190* by Rohit and Rinku. The previous highest was 176 by Samson - Deepak Hooda vs Ire in 2022
3. Rohit now has the most centuries in T20Is - 5
4. Rohit Sharma's 121* is the 4th highest score for India in T20Is
5. Highest total for a side after being four down for 25 or less
6. India break USA's world record as they scored 212. USA made 188/6 from 16/4

And Rinku Singh has hit three sixes in a row as India finish at 212. 36 runs from the final over. Three sixes from Rinku, two from Rohit and a four from the Indian skipper too. This is a massive total. 

Rohit puts this one into the galaxy. My Goodness, that was some stroke. A fuller one from Karim Janat and the Indian skipper dispatches this on the roof of the Chinnaswamy. Hello roof!! This was a no-ball too and a free hit is coming. Bang!! Another six from Rohit. 

And the captain makes a mark today. The pending big score has finally come and on an occasion when it was highly needed in the series.

India have made a brilliant recovery so far. Rohit and Rinku are playing extremely well now. India 154/4 after 18 overs

Rohit and Rinku are proving to be the saviours of the team. The two have notched up a stand of over 100 and looking to keep the ante up.

And the captain has crossed the fifty. A different sort of inning for him. He was struggling like all others on what is now looking a tough pitch. But then he broke shackles with a few sixes. He still has a lot of work to do and has Rinku for his company.

Rohit and Rinku are rebuilding for India now. Rohit has now put his foot on the pedal. Two back-to-back sixes. One pull towards long-on and the other a switch hit.

Rinku has survived a very close call here. He was given out LBW off leg-spinner Qais but reviewed it. This looked out but Rinku got a feather off it, the slightest of them. India 52/4 after 9 overs.

The powerplay is done and India have a lot to do now. They are four down for 30 after 6 and have Rohit and Rinku in the middle. Sundar is to come next and India don't have any more proper batters. It would be a tall hill to climb now

India are reduced to 22/4 after the first 5 overs. A poor start nonetheless and not what anyone would have expected.

Ohh no, what is happening here. Dube and Samson are now gone back too. Azmatullah got Dube first with a masterstroke plan. He bowled three incoming balls before taking one out to find his edge and the wicketkeeper dives to take it. In a matter of a few minutes, Samson also walks back and he has gone for a golden duck too. Another bouncer got an Indian batter. Samson tried to pull it but found Nabi.

Oh no, Kohli has been caught at mid-off for a golden duck. 

And Jaiswal has to walk back. A bouncer from Fareed and he mistimes his pull. Nabi takes a fine high-catch.

And Rohit is off the mark finally. He guides his 7th ball towards deep third to get off the mark after two ducks.

An eventful 1st over. 11 from Fareed Ahmad's over but only three came off the bat. Rohit got two fours but off leg-byes. He is yet to get off the mark. Rohit had a wry smile on his face at the end of the over. 5 dots for him but India 11/0 after 1st over.

Indian openers are out in the middle. Jaiswal faces the first ball and he drives it well towards point and gets three. Rohit is yet to open his mark. Gets a four off the thigh pads.

 Rahmanullah Gurbaz(w), Ibrahim Zadran(c), Gulbadin Naib, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Najibullah Zadran, Karim Janat, Sharafuddin Ashraf, Qais Ahmad, Mohammad Saleem Safi, Fareed Ahmad Malik

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma(c), Virat Kohli, Shivam Dube, Sanju Samson(w), Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Mukesh Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Avesh Khan

Afghanistan have made four changes as well. Naveen, Mujeeb, Noor, Farooqi are out. Qais, Sharafuddin, Saleem, Fareed have come in.

We will bat first. We bowled in the first two games, so we'll bat today. Nothing to do with the wicket, just want to try some combinations and give some chances. We have ticked a few boxes, this is another opportunity to try new faces. We have made three changes -Sanju, Avesh and Kuldeep are in. Axar, Jitesh and Arshdeep are out

India have made three changes and brought in everyone in the squad, who has not had a game till now in this series. Sanju, Avesh and Kuldeep are in. Axar, Arshdeep and Jitesh make way for them

Rohit has won the toss and India are batting first

Kuldeep Yadav, Sanju Samson and Avesh Khan are yet to get a chance in this series. Will they play today?

Rohit Sharma might be satisfied with his team and players like Shivam Dube and Yashasvi Jaiswal, among others but he knows he has a task ahead of him. Rohit has seen two ducks (one run-out and the other bowled) in this series but with the kind of intent he has already shown in the ODI World Cup, it might be unfair to make any early opinions. Rohit has a to-do list of scoring well in the game and he would look to end the series with icing on the cake.

Virat Kohli looks on a mission right now. He understands what the team needs from him in T20Is and with the pressure of the right approach (especially against spinners) in the format high, he has put his foot on the pedal. Kohli made a quickfire 29 from 16 balls and countered Mujeeb early on in his innings. Kohli outside powerplay against the spinners is yet to be seen in this approach but he has shown willingness to attack. It looks his mission is very much possible

It's the series finale in Bengaluru. India's final T20I before the World Cup, a long before the tournament actually comes. A dead-rubber or one with some significance is how you look at it. With India 2-0 up and facing not a big side at home, one will call it a dead-rubber. But this gives another opportunity to the youngsters and even the senior pros to prove themselves for a spot in the World Cup. For someone like Shivam Dube and Yashasvi Jaiswal, this series has paved the way for them to stay in the frame of things for the World Cup. Will they make another statement? Stick around as the two sides step onto the field for this final game.
