India hold nerve in a tense finish against Afghanistan.

Hampshire bowl witnessed one of the epic encounters of this world cup. India and Afghanistan locked horns with each other as india thought it will be easy pass through for them, but as we witness last evening the big upset by sri lanka, At some point Afghanistan fans might have heart in the mouth but in the last over Mohammad shami picked up a hat-trick to restrict Afghanistan to 213. Opting to bat first india batting didn't looked like a week ago the way they did against Pakistan, today story was very diffirrent as india didn't batted so convincingly out there. India was deeply troubled by the spin of Afghanistan. They lost Rohit sharma cheaply for just one. For india virat kohli and Kedar jadhav contributed a strong hand in their team total of 224-8 from their fifty overs. India were 50-70 runs below par score but as we all know the indian bowling is of very high class so they believed they can turn it off and defend that score. For Afghanistan nabi and skipper naib picked up couple of wickets each and rest all Afghanistan bowlers got one wicket each.
In reply afghan batting never looked so promising to chase thay easy score. all top order batsmen played their part with some good starts amd loosing wickets on regular intervals. For Afghanistan only Mohammad nabi was the star with bat who nearly took the nerve off indians and almost sealed an unexpected and the tournaments biggest upset that would have been. Rahmat shah also showed some good support in batting. With 16 needing from the last over nabi lofted shami for four towards long on and on the following delivery he got out on the same direction crushing the Afghanistan hopes. Shami took three successive wickets in the last over to register a world cup hat trick. A great milestone. With this win india now have the 9 points from five games they played and boosted their chances of reaching the top four.
