NEW DELHI: Afghanistan faced their second consecutive World Cup defeat on Wednesday, with India securing an eight-wicket victory. However, coach Jonathan Trott believes that despite the losses, Afghanistan is making progress and adapting to the conditions in Delhi, where they are set to face England in their next match.
Afghanistan, having previously lost to Bangladesh in a low-scoring contest in their tournament opener, won the toss and chose to bat first again, amassing a total of 272-8 in 50 overs. India's comfortable victory was propelled by a century from Rohit Sharma.
