IND vs AFG, Asia Cup, Score, Highlights: IND win by 101 runs
Well, that brings an end to India's 2022 Asia Cup journey. It was a shocker, to be honest, but it's good to take this sort of tournament out before the all-important World Cup. India will next face Australia and South Africa in a 3-match T20 series each.- IND win by 101 runs.
- All over for AFG. India were having fun out there with Dinesh Karthik bowling the last over. Zadran took advantage and completed his 50.
- AFG 78/7: Well, AFG have been able to drag it long. They'll probably play their full quota of 20 overs now. Says something about the Indian bowling?
- AFG 21/6: This might end pretty quickly. Not expected from Afghanistan. They were so good throughout the Asia Cup.
- AFG 20/5: Arshdeep dismisses Afghanistan skipper Mohammad Nabi
- AFG 18/4: It's happening all too quickly for AFG at the moment. They look drained. Can you blame them?
- AFG 9/3: Bhuvneshwar Kumar is on a roll. What a day for India. Two veterans making their grand come back.
Indian Innings
- INDIA finish with 212. Too much to ask from AFG?
-
This is historic. After nearly 3 years of wait, Kohli has reached to his 71st 100. Monumental effort. Dubai has just witnessed history!
- IND 147/2: 4 overs remain and India have 8 wickets in hand. Can Kohli and Pant continue the good work?
- IND 125/2: Well, SKY hit a stupendous 6, but fell on the very next ball. What a shame!
- IND 119/1: Rahul falls after a gritty 62 off 41 deliveries.
- IND 111/0: Virat and Rahul have reached their respective 50s. Now both the openers are looking to send away everything to stands.
- IND 87/0: 10 overs are done and both the openers are nearing their respective fifties. Good start from India. With 10 wickets in hand, they would want to make it count from here on.
- IND 72/0: Well, 8 overs are done and AFG haven't really troubled India. Kohli and Rahul are all set. AFG also dropped Kohli. Will that prove costly? Only time will tell. As of now, India firmly on top.
- IND 14/0: IND are off to pretty sluggish start. Where is the all-out attacking approach?
- Hardik, Chahal, Rohit miss out for India. Karthik, Axar, and Chahar come in.

- Hello and welcome to the live blog of India's final match at the Asia Cup 2022. Not many would have thought as to what has transpired with the men in blue, but so is cricket - unpredictable.

- This may be the final match, but it isn't something India can get past easily. Afghanistan are out of the Asia Cup, but they have looked like a million bucks. They may have lost vs Sri Lanka and Pakistan in the Super 4, but pushed them to the limit. Don't be surprised if it's the same case today.
