Earlier, electing to bat, Afghanistan rode opener Mohammad Shahzad's entertaining century and a sensible innings from Nabi to post a healthy 252/8 against a relatively inexperienced Indian attack.
Chasing a competitive 253, the defending champions got off to a flier from the new opening pair of Lokesh Rahul (60 off 66 balls; 4X5, 6X1) and Ambati Rayudu (57 off 49; 4X4, 6X4) before a mini collapse, coupled with a few run-outs and umpiring errors, eventually resulted in a tie.
