Afghanistan looked down and out in the chase until Mohammad Nabi and Gulbadin Naib turned it around after the 10th over. Spinners Washington Sundar (3/18) and Kuldeep Yadav (1/31) tightened things a bit but the experienced Gulbadin Naib (55 not out off 23 balls) played some twinkling shots to keep his side in the hunt. Naib knocked off 18 runs of the required 19 off the final over bowled by pacer Mukesh Kumar, dragging the match into a Super Over. (PTI)
