India vs Afghanistan, World Cup 2019: India beat Afghanistan by 11 runs, Shami creates history in world cup debut with hat-trick

India vs Afghanistan cricket match updates, World Cup 2019: India beat Afghanistan by 11 runs in Southampton in a nail-biting finish. Afghanistan was on the verge of a win but Shami struck with a historic hat-trick in the last over and got Afghanistan all out with one ball remaining. The Indian batsmen, while batting first, had fallen one after another after India lost Rahul Sharma's wicket early, bowled by Rahman for just one run. The only two batsmen who stuck around for a decent amount of time include skipper Virat Kohli and Kedar Jadhav who made 67 and 52 runs respectively. The Indian bowlers made up for it with a splendid performance, restricting Afghanistan by giving away very few runs and taking wickets when it was most crucial. Afghanistan also proved today that it was team to reckon for, with their stunning bowling performance. The Indian batsmen clearly could not read Afghanistan's spinners. India had won the toss and has elected to bat first against Afghanistan.
