India put a dominating performance against Afghanistan and registered a 66-run win to just about stay alive in the tournament. The team finally gave their passionate audience a reason to cheer for. The batting and bowling clicked in unison as openers Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul set things up nicely by putting on a 140-run stand, setting up the platform for a mammoth total. Later, the bowlers led by Mohammed Shami and Ravi Ashwin restricted the opposition to just 144.

Next, the side will be up against Scotland. A big win for the Men in Blue will keep them alive but Scotland are no pushovers as they showed enough fight against New Zealand. Chasing a mammoth target of 173, the Scotland batters were in the hunt right till the end, only to collapse in the latter stages of the run-chase.
