Nitish Kumar Reddy was instrumental in India's bowling effort, claiming three wickets for 24 runs to restrict Afghanistan to 159 for eight in the second T20I. The Indian bowlers executed a dominant middle-over squeeze, conceding just 64 runs and taking five wickets between the seventh and fifteenth overs.
Afghanistan's recovery was aided by a vital 48-run partnership between Mohammad Nabi (20) and Rashid Khan (28) off 28 balls, which helped them post a respectable total. Jasprit Bumrah initiated strongly with a maiden over, and other bowlers like Arshdeep Singh, Axar Patel, and Ravi Bishnoi also contributed with crucial wickets.
Despite losing key wickets at regular intervals, Afghanistan managed to put up a fight with some late hitting. However, India's disciplined bowling ultimately kept them in control of the match.
