Having initially struggled at 22 for 4, the team has shown notable improvement with a commendable partnership between Rinku Singh and Rohit Sharma. Nevertheless, Afghanistan holds a favourable position, benefiting from the historical tendency of the pitch to favour the chasing side. The spinners have performed adequately, capitalising on the pitch's turn. The ongoing partnership stands as a critical factor for India, while Afghanistan seeks to claim a couple more wickets to target the lower order.
