IND vs AFG, 2nd ODI: Team India will look to sew the series when they lock horns against Afghanistan in the second ODI at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on June 17, Wednesday. The Men in Blue started the series in emphatic fashion in Dharamshala, where a rain-shortened game took place but the hosts won it comfortably. Afghanistan did make India work for the win, especially Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who struck a 48-ball hundred but their bowling lacked the required penetration to dislodge a well-drilled batting unit, led by Shubman Gill.
