India vs Afghanistan Live Score, ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Match at Southampton: Dhoni Departs For 28 Cricketnext Staff | June 22, 2019, 6:13 PM IST OUT: Dhoni tries to go for a big one but misses the line of the ball completely. Afghanistan keeper completes the stumping. India are in deep trouble here at 192/5. Dhoni goes for 28 from 52 balls. FOUR, FOUR: A good over coming India's way as Dhoni and Jadhav both manage to get boundaries off Aftab. That will give India the much-needed boost. After 43 overs India move to 190/4. FOUR: India at least need 250 in this pitch. If not, bowlers will have to be on top of their game. But for now this has looked rather ordinary batting performance by the Indians. And suddenly meanwhile Dhoni rocks back in the crease and muscles the ball towards square leg for a four. India are 175/4 after 40 overs. FOUR: Rashid continues. And he almost got the better of Jadhav, but the ball falls short of Nabi. Afghanistan is definitely on top here. But Jadhav has decided to go for his shots and he sweeps Rashid for a four. A lot more of these are needed now. After 37 overs it's 156/4. OUT: Nabi continues. India need to up their scoring rate at the moment and look to score at least 300 on this wicket. Both Dhoni and Kohli are both capable of doing that. But Kohli tries to cut Nabi and gives a catch to Rahmat Shah at gully. India are 135/4. OUT: And here is a wicket for Afghanistan. Shah has the wicket of Vijay. But the batsman doesn't seem convinced and goes for a review. But the umpire stays with his decision. He departs for 29. India are 122/3. FOUR: Rahmat Shah into his second over now. He needs to keep it tight against Kohli, otherwise he could end up going for plenty. And Vijay Shankar goes inside-out over the covers for a four. Great shot by him, one which will give him a lot of confidence. After 25 overs India are 115/2. FIFTY FOR KOHLI: Rashid starts a fresh over. He would be looking to prove a point here, after being taken to the cleaners against England. But up against him is best batsman in the world -- Kohli. In the meantime skipper Kohli brings up yet another fifty. An excellent knock by him. India are 94/2 at the moment. OUT: Nabi has done the trick for Afghanistan. A wide one, and Rahul goes for a reverse sweep. But he edges it and short third-man catches it. Rahul has to go for 30. India are now 64/2. FIFTY PARTNERSHIP: A change in the bowling here. Mohammed Nabi comes into the attack. And a single in the over brings up the fifty partnership between Kohli and Rahul. And excellent stand this has been till now. India are 59/1 after 13 overs. FOUR: Kohli is looking in top form. Mujeeb strays in line and Kohli quickly flicks the ball for a four through fine leg. These two are batting brilliantly at the moment. After 11 overs India are 49/1. Rashid Khan into his last over. Indians just can't get him away. He is getting extra bounce and turn and Jadhav is not reading it well. And finally Jadhav goes across the stumps, but is LBW. He is out for 43. But replays show that the ball is missing the stumps. It's 206/5 after 47 overs. OUT: Dhoni tries to go for a big one but misses the line of the ball completely. Afghanistan keeper completes the stumping. India are in deep trouble here at 192/5. Dhoni goes for 28 from 52 balls. FOUR, FOUR: A good over coming India's way as Dhoni and Jadhav both manage to get boundaries off Aftab. That will give India the much-needed boost. After 43 overs India move to 190/4. India still haven't got going. They are not getting enough boundaries at the moment and that means the team might just score close to 220. This is ordinary batting by this pair. India are 179/4 in 42 overs. FOUR: India at least need 250 in this pitch. If not, bowlers will have to be on top of their game. But for now this has looked rather ordinary batting performance by the Indians. And suddenly meanwhile D #INDvAFG #CWC19
