In a thrilling encounter at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, India emerged victorious against Afghanistan in the third T20I of the 2023-24 series.

Match Highlights: Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah Shine

India's batting was led by the brilliance of Suryakumar Yadav, who smashed a blistering 72 off just 44 deliveries. His aggressive innings, coupled with Ravindra Jadeja's unbeaten 20, propelled India to a formidable total of 174-5. Afghanistan's chase was anchored by opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who scored a valiant 54, but wickets at regular intervals hindered their progress.

India's bowling attack was spearheaded by the pace of Jasprit Bumrah, who claimed three wickets while conceding only 12 runs in his four overs. Afghanistan's middle order struggled against Bumrah's accuracy and pace, handing India a comprehensive victory.

The result consolidates India's position at the top of the series standings, while Afghanistan will be looking to bounce back in the remaining fixtures.
