The start was not convincing from them as they lost three wickets early in the innings. Zubaid Akbari was the first batter to get dismissed by Shivam Dube on 5. Later a jaffa from Arshdeep Singh made Mohammad Shahzad outplayed when he was on 4. Noor Ali Zadran, the number three batter dismissed for 1 suffering a run out at the keepers end.
Afghanistan got to a better position when Shahidullah Kamal and Afsar Zazai took the charge. Zazai was a bit slow but they made a partnership together. Ravi Bishnoi got the better of him at 15. Karim Janat, the next man in was also dismissed cheaply by Shahbaz Ahmed for 1.
When Afghans were 52 for 5, Shahidullah Kamal was joined by the experienced Gulabdin Naib. The duo started taking the spinners on and Shahidullah reached to 49 hitting 3 boundaries and 2 sixes. Naib also batted well for his 27 off 24 balls hitting a couple of sixes and a solitary boundary.
For India, Ravi Bishnoi was the star bowler bowling at an economy of 3 per over and taking a wicket. Arshdeep Singh, Shivam Dube, Shahbaz Ahmed shared three wickets between them.
Afghanistan were on 112 for 5 after the 18.2 overs when the rain interruption happened. The drizzle got heavier and it was impossible for the groundsmen to make the ground prepared for the match to resume. This means India are the Gold-Medalists in both Men's and Women's cricket in the Asian Games 2023!
Stick around for the presentation ceremony.
