Everything was going flawless for India in the ongoing five match Youth ODI series against Afghanistan before the third match of the series came. It was a discourse which was spelled out in the second ODI as well as India just about managed to scram their way through to a win with Afghanistan finally managing to get the better of the Indians in the foregone contest.
Restricting India to a mere 152, Afghanistan managed to persevere in a low scoring match to squirm their way through to a 3 wicket win and with it bridge the gap between the two sides in the series. Not only did the win given Afghanistan a new lease of life in the series with the series poised tantalisingly at 2-1 ahead of today’s forthcoming affair but also infuse fresh life into a series which was looking set to be a foregone conclusion.
Also, with India decided to rest a slew of their wordclass players for this series with Tilak Verma, Priyam Garg and Yasihavi Jaiswal all out of the squad, today’s encounter looks set to be another close contested affair. The last couple of matches have been decided by extremely fine margins and the same narrative is set to be peddled out today as well with us set to be subjected to an edge of the seat thriller in a match which will decide which course the series takes.

After playing a steady knock with the bat in the previous encounter, Afghanistan’s Mohammad Ishaq not only took his side past the finishing line but also showed application, patience gustiness and grit on a wicket where almost everyone floundered. It was a knock which sees us repose faith in the wicket-keeper for this imminent tie.
