4 reasons why India failed to win against Afghanistan

#4 Leaking runs in the death overs

Nabi played a pivotal role in Afghanistan's victory.

One thing that India have been consistent in is the death bowling. They haven't leaked runs and have often restricted the opposition. Although the number of runs that they conceded wasn't too much but considering that the lower middle order of Afghanistan did the damage, it's a lot.

Although this match is of little significance, it's crucial keeping the 2019 mega-event in mind.

This shows that an injury-ridden or a team India without it's 3-4 key players can fall prey to Afghanistan. The Indian team management soon needs to figure out a way around this to find a performing bench team.
