NEW DELHI: A fearless half-century from swashbuckling Suryakumar Yadav was followed by a special spell from Jasprit Bumrah as India secured a commanding 47-run victory over Afghanistan in their opening Super 8 fixture of the T20 World Cup on Thursday in Barbados.
Suryakumar's quick-fire 53 off 28 balls helped set a challenging total of 181 for 8 on a tricky surface at Kensington Oval after Afghanistan's Rashid Khan took three key wickets.
