Mohammad Shami bagged India’s second ever hattrick in a World Cup after Chetan Sharma in 1987 (Reuters)India defeated Afghanistan by 11 runs after Mohammad Shami finished the Afghanistan batting order with a hattrick in the last over of the game at Southampton on Saturday in what proved to be a nail-biting finish. After setting a target of 225, with half-centuries from Virat Kohli (67) and Kedar Jadhav (52), India’s bowling won them the match with excellent spells from Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami.

They had to huff and puff, they had to dig deep, they had a scare but India have the two points. What a game of cricket!
