Chasing a target of 195 in a rain-curtailed 25-over contest, the hosts reached 195/3 in 22.5 overs to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
However, once Nitish Kumar Reddy ended Gurbaz's innings with a brilliant yorker, Afghanistan's innings quickly lost momentum. Arshdeep Singh and debutant Gurnoor Brar picked up three wickets each, while Harsh Dubey claimed three scalps as well. Nitish chipped in with two wickets as Afghanistan were eventually restricted to 194/9 in their allotted 25 overs despite Gurbaz's heroics.
The setback, however, had little impact on India's pursuit. Gill anchored the innings superbly with an unbeaten 84 off 66 balls, striking 11 fours and two sixes. Ishan Kishan provided strong support with a quickfire 34 off 22 deliveries before KL Rahul finished the job in style. The wicketkeeper-batter remained unbeaten on 39 from just 19 balls, ensuring India crossed the line with 13 balls to spare.
The way we started, they pulled the game away from us - Shubman Gill
"It was kind of a T20 game. The way we started, they pulled the game away from us. Gurbaz was brilliant and took the game away from us, but we fought back well. It was a brilliant wicket for batting. When we were bowling, there was a bit of grip, but it came on nicely when we batted," Shubman Gill said.

Shubman Gill further opened up on Rohit Sharma's run out and said that the veteran batter was not upset over the incident.
"In ODIs, middle overs are crucial, in bowling, you need to keep creating opportunities and maintain pressure. In batting, it's about finding the gaps and rotating the strike.l That's exactly what we discuss in the team meetings as well."
