Story summary

On Thursday, in a T20 cricket match held at New Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium, India decisively defeated Afghanistan by 127 runs. Opener Abhishek Sharma set a record with his century off just 30 balls, the fastest between full Test-playing nations, as he helped India score 221-7. Despite Afghanistan's efforts to slow down India’s surge after Sharma left for 108 in 34 balls and India slipping from 142-1, they were ultimately bowled out for only 94 runs in 14.1 overs. This victory secured a clean sweep of the series with India winning all three matches. Afghanistan had previously scored 156-8 and 159-8 while batting first in the previous two games, highlighting their struggles against the Indian team.
