Abu Dhabi:
India lost its opening wicket after a grand total of 140 runs off 14.4 overs. Rohit Sharma marched back to the stands garnering 74 runs in 47 deliveries.
Rohit reaches out to a fuller one, without any feet, and slices that towards the covers but can’t find the gap, and picks out Nabi, who doesn’t have to move a millimeter to take that. Relief for Afghanistan and Rohit is disappointed that he’s dismissed after being set at the crease
