Summary

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.
