Ind vs Afg Highlights – Suryakumar and Bumrah seal comfortable India win

With Afghanistan throttled at 134, you get an even better idea of how well India played to get 181 and the value their no-more-safety-first batting approach brings.

There were geniuses at play in Bridgetown, wearing the India blue as they cruised to victory in their first Super Eight game in the T20 World Cup 2024. The pitch, once again, was tough to bat on, slow and offering purchase to everyone willing to roll their fingers across the ball. Suryakumar Yadav, though, found a way to prosper, as he often does in T20 cricket, helping his team post a par-plus total of 181 for 7. That brought Jasprit Bumrah (4-1-7-3) into the fray and he immediately set about dismantling Afghanistan, his two early strikes leaving them indisposed for the rest of the innings.
