With this, India have taken a lead of 1-0 in the series.

In the match, India's Team Captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and opted to bowl first.

Sediqullah Atal was dismissed for 13 runs, and Gulbadin Naib and Darwesh Rasooli were dismissed for 2 runs each.

Afghanistan lost five wickets for just 43 runs, but thanks to Azmatullah Umarzai's 64 and Mohammad Nabi's 30, Afghanistan managed to reach 156 runs. Rashid Khan faced 10 balls and scored one run before being dismissed by Harshit Rana. Harshit Rana bowled brilliantly for India. He took 3 wickets for 19 runs in 4 overs, while Jasprit Bumrah, Axar Patel, and Varun Chakravarthy also took a wicket each.

Chasing the target of 157, the Indian team had a poor start. Sanju Samson was dismissed for just 10 runs, after which Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan tore apart the Afghan bowlers. Abhishek Sharma ensured India's victory by scoring at a strike rate of over 250. He scored 82 runs in 32 balls with the help of 7 fours and 7 sixes, while Ishan Kishan was dismissed for 42 runs.

Shreyas Iyer and Tilak Varma did the rest, securing India's victory in the 14th over. The second match of the series will now be played in Delhi on September 15th.
