#2 Afghanistan vs. India Tied Match

MS Dhoni took the reins again as captain with Rohit Sharma resting, although he could do little to stop Mohammad Shehzad from smashing an exhilarating century. He, along with Mohammad Nabi, took Afghanistan to 253.
The new look Indian top order of Rahul/Rayudu/Karthik took India to 142, but then the wickets started falling. Dhoni fell quick, as did Manish Pandey. Kedhar Jadhav and Ravindra Jadeja, making his ODI return, clawed India closer to the target.
The final over came. Rashid Khan to bowl, India needing 7 runs from 6 balls. Jadeja slogs, sweeps a four and then runs a double. Khaleel Ahmed manages a single.
Scores are level. Jadeja on strike. One ball to go.
Rashid Khan pitches it outside off, Jadeja mistimes the pull, and the ball soars straight into the air. Zadran takes it at midwicket.
Game over. Tie game. What a finish!
